Was pretty nice yesterday so I went to a couple local parks. Went to the trashiest parts I know and did pretty good.

Finds are

1936 Quarter
1951 Quarter
1929s Merc
1934 Merc
1942d Merc
1960 Roosie
1945s War Nick
1885 Indian
1900 Indian
1905 Indian
Mooshed military ring, Copper maybe?
Old spoon not pictured

Weird thing is there were no wheat pennies but $6.38 in clad

Found a ton of junk (Dumped my pouch twice) but the results were well worth it. I'm really starting to connect with the ORX, All were found with the 9" X35 coil. Settings were coin fast, sensitivity at 86, disc at 5.5, recovery at 2.5. The 1885 Indian are a soft tone, no numbers, and a little deeper than my probe. Those signals stop me in my tracks just like the silver tone on my Explorer.

Thanks, it is for me. I dont like going on long detecting trips. The orx really opened old hot spots, I dont go more than 50 miles now.
 
Ring appears to have US Army Quartermaster Branch insignia on it.

Looks to have been a great day!

It was a good afternoon. Thanks for the ring info.
 
How bout a head to head match between the three 9" coils.. the LF, X35, and the HF coil, head to head in your test garden!

I dont have a test garden... the world is my test garden.
 
Knowing the detector model used is one thing, but I really appreciate it when the search coil and primary settings used are also mentioned. SOoo, 'Thank You' for adding that.

Especially since I bought my first ORX the first of June this year with the 5X9½ HF elliptical coil. Most of the search coils I use on all my other Regular-Use Detectors range from the 4.[size=small]7[/size]X5.[size=small]2[/size] 'OOR' DD on my Nokta CoRe and 5" DD on the Nokta Relic, to the 6" Concentric coils on my Tesoro Silver Sabre µMAX and Bandido II µMAX and a mid-size round 7" Concentric on the Makro Racer 2. I consider the 5X9½ HF DD to also be a "mid-size" coil and it works very well for certain applications I have for it. I just received my 2nd ORX, and I bought it mainly to check-out and compare the usefulness of the round 9" X35 DD coil I got it with.

Coin Fast I'll work with some more, but so far I've preferred Coin Deep with very minor adjustments since Coin fast didn't provide the performance I anticipated when I got the ORX and also had a little less detection depth for the open area. In Program 5 User Coin I have my slight modifications saved that I worked with on the other ORX w/5X9½ HF elliptical coil, and as with almost all of my detectors I use settings with a high Sensitivity and then reduce it if needed to deal with chatter and EMI. My Sensitivity is saved at '99' and Disc. is '7' with a Recovery Speed of '2.[size=small]0[/size]'. I have Iron Audio turned 'On' and start-up at 7.7 kHx operating frequency with the 9" X35 coil.

The lower frequencies are a terrible choice for working in much iron, where I tend to hunt most of the time, but for now I'm using the X35 coil for some wide-open / sparse-target park hunting to try and eeek out some older silver and other keepers. I didn't see mention of the Frequency you were using. ??? I really like the ORX audio response, and can only hope to chance upon such a productive location close to me. Again, 'Congrats' and I hope you can work it some more before wintry weather hampers your fun.
