weekend Spot hunting nets me treasure

[JimmyCT]

This is what I do when I go to a "new to me" park, I move around hitting different "spots" until it starts producing. By my standards "producing" usually means a wheat penny. (If its silver, I'm hunkering down lol. ) This doesn't sound like much but from that one penny I will start a grid pattern. This is exactly what netted me the finds you see in this post. The rust color on the merc is from a piece of iron that was laying on it. Even with the iron covering part of the dime, the Equinox still gave me a solid high tone. The button dates back to the 1820's. Thanks for looking!

Detector:
Equinox 800
GB - 0
50 tones
recovery 4
Iron bias - F2-0
very slow scan speed

Good hunt for sure, hunkering down not a bad move. Put it to music and post please!!

Smart technique, looks like the results back it up. Nice bunch of finds! I'll bet that .925 screamed on the Nox.
