Copper coin

The first time with the X35 coil in 28 Khz, a coin I thought was a Large cent but it is a little smaller in diameter than a large cent. and thinner ? The iron is overwhelming at the site but I pulled some relics. One thing I do and maybe it's wrong but I turn the TX setting down to 1 to calm the machine down before I start backing the sensitivity down. I wish I knew whether it the thing to do, some programs run a TX setting of 3 but they are so sparky, I have a difficult time at some areas. The little tab thingy with Perry& Rogers with a bird emblem on it was in the same hole as the thimble ? At first when soaking the coin in distilled water, I thought I saw a face but the gunk went away and it's just a slick green coin. Weird find was the piece of rock with a round dome carved in it. It came out of a hole with one of the targets. At first ,I thought it was wood furniture piece, like a doweled chair piece or something but upon further inspection, it's just a rock.

well it is older than any coin I have pulled out of the ground lately. Who knows what it is, it could even be a flowing hair cent of some sort. It sure looks old too. That was a great day of detecting!!
 
I'm pretty sure that's a V nickel. Just the right size and that looks like Lady Liberty. Stars at the top will confirm. If you will put in peroxide couple of hour will clean up some more and you may be able to see the V on the back and maybe the date which will be under the bust. They usually come out fried like this. Did you do a ground balance to see what sensitivity you should run? Thats more important than TX. TX 3 is too high if soil too mineralized. If iron really bad adjust reactivity to 2.5 or even 3. Best.

It falls in between a Large cent and a quarter, smaller than a large cent, bigger than a quarter.

I do a GB often because the ground changes quite a bit at this site. Often, I will run a gold field program, it seems to as well on these type of sites than other programs. I should try ground tracking but I don't, I fear tracking and notching can lead to problems but without ever using them, It's all in the shallow mindset with no proof to back my theory up. .I often go -2 from actual GB, it just seems to get better depth and on the overcast days where EMI type chatter is higher, I will go +2 from actual GB to cut the chatter noise or run a default of 86 which is what the majority of my areas soil normally reads until I get into the difficult ever changing areas.
 
The only thing that comes to mind is a Canadian Large cent but I've never dug one to know or to compare to ?I find a lot of other Canadian coins here,, It's not magnetic and it's thinner than a Large cent,I was looking to see if it was a button but I don't see anything to suggest it might have been a button. Not sure a large cent could wear down that thin but anything's possible when it's been on the loose for a long time.
 
So I got tired of not knowing so I I did a 9 volt battery electrolysis on it. I believe it is a earlier colonial type, possibly British coin and not a worn down Large cent.

I dug a fatty today. Not much else, a lot of lead pipe pieces.

When the GB starts to go lower than the actual ground conditions, I get a rubbery signal like a hot rock signal. I used ground tracking today and it helped. If you set the machine to default GB of 90,don't GB the machine, I do not get it either ? I've never seen the ground change as often as it seems to where I am currently hunting. I'm sure the fertilizers have something to do with it, I just never ran into hunting farm fields, I've always hunted yards or non working farmed areas. I don't know as much as I should about this machine although. I've got a ton of hours on them. I used Calabash's program and dug the Indianhead today,It lets you know iron as it sends it into a distress signal, except for the deep square nails. They sound good and quite faint in sound so I dig them.

What frequency and program were you running??

I was using Calabash digger's relic program built off from the Deus fast program and at 25.4 khz.
 
I found this, quite informative, Thanks Gary!

I am loving Calabash Digger's program. Yesterday, after work I visited the cellar hole, got two buttons before getting chased off by the rain/hail downpour. Tonight I was able to dig a coin and another button before being chased back to the truck by rain and lightning. Todays button is cracked, a clipped signal at a high almost distress like iron pushes through but there was a constant iron grunt as it separated the nails around it, turning on it while sweeping,I got a locked on ID of 74, so at that point I knew there was most likely a non ferrous in the iron. That is the third large cent from the hole plus the other copper coin, a seated dime and a Indianhead.

I pulled another coin out tonight, I can't wait until they plow the field again, I think it is going to renew the finds, its about ready to take the third cutting of hay off so it will also help get smoother search sweeps of the coil. Sorry ,I didn't clean the coin up yet.
