My little contribution for the day..

[Uncle Willy]

This is the result of braving the heat for about 3-4 hours. Hit two parks and a tot lot. Pic is minus about seventy some pennies that broke my back digging up. I need John along with me to be my penny snatcher. My old back gets to singing me a song digging those puppies up.

I hear you. I went to the park yesterday for about 1 1/2 hours. I had the zincs turned off. I didn't have time for them. I figured go big or or go home. When I got home, no big. IBut I did find 2 bucks

Looks like the hunt was a good one.

Nice finds. Bill can you tell the difference between a dime and a penny with the 250 ? For some reason i can not with mine; the dimes and pennies seem to jump around between a dime and penny reading depending on how much corrosion is on the coin.

Don't have much of a problem but cruddy dimes read differently. Do you do the "twitch procedure over these coins? That usually clears up the signal. Depending on the soil and if they are cruddy and deep you may get a real squirrely signal and ID. I dug a few quarters today that were unrecognizeable and 5-6 inches down that gave erratic jumpy signals. I always use a probe to clarify these targets.
