Yesterday's finds.

Mxt comes through again. My farmer is pulling his sugar beets and I had a window of opportunity yesterday.
"The coin is an Elizabeth I halfgroat. The initial mark appears to be a woolpack, which would date it to 1594-96. The artefact is a mount with separate rivet and would date late 13th to 14th century." Graciously ID's by Rod Blunt.
The mount is used on leather.
I think I'll cry when we get stationed somewhere else, because this place truly is the metal detecting mecca.
 
I was always curious about other peoples settings especially on smaller finds when I first got my MXT so in an attempt to help newer users, I'll post mine.
Stock coil
Ground balanced and then Locked (keeps from tracking out smaller hammered coins, from what I've heard)
Relic mode...toggle in the center.
Discrimination on 2.5
Gain on +2
Both items ID'd as buttons.

Man, you just can't find really old stuff like that in the U.S., congrats!
I always wonder how much coins like that are worth when people post them on here?
 
Shield's, Barber's, and 'Vs' come Spring when I hope to make my next trip to Utah. <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
It looks like you might get some snow the next couple of days. Reminds me of how nice it was for doing research from about the first of November thru February back there. I could relax at the libraries, glance outside and enjoy winter scenery knowing that I couldn't be out detecting anyway. Made me feel better about researching for three or four months to be ready for the next year's detecting!
I hope you're still able to get out now and then and that, perhaps, it won't be a nasty winter. Get some research done. When things are getting lined up for our next detecting jaunt I'll shoot you an E-mail and see if you'd like to join us. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":)">

Unfortunately all the places I know to go are in Wyoming or Southern Utah, and i'm in the Salt Lake area so I don't get out nearly as much as i'd like. Just need to find some good places around here to go, I know there's plenty of old mining towns and stuff, just need to find the ones that haven't been torn up by people practicing their guns.
 
Some of it is worth a few bucks/pounds, but of course to us detectorists, it's all priceless. He're are a few things I found this morning. The duck next to the Roman coin is also a Roman piece. The silver is from 1215, and the two hammered coppers are jettons from the 15th/16th century. All in all one of my best days of detecting yet!
