Many thanks to my friends at home and on this board who have helped me learn a little about this awesome machine. I set up my own discriminate pattern and spent 5 hours at the homesite of a friend, whose grandfather had had a home there in the early 20th century. My friend's dad was a WWII veteran, which explains the shell casing from a 20mm cannon dated 1943. The finds are pictured in this order, clockwise: the shell casing, two parts of a silver plated spoon, two pieces of lead (?), a cub scout pendant with chain, and motto on reverse, a boyscout (?) whistel (still works), memorial and wheat cents, an old, old Ford mustang key, a silver standing liberty quarter (date worn off), two 1940's nickels and a gear from an old clock(?). The rusty thingy is the remains of a pocket knife, and there is in the 5 o'clock interior position a brass six-sided nut like thingy. The Lord is good to have provided such a good outing this afternoon. I was really excited to find the silver quarter, the cub scout pendant and the whistle. The other finds were Langniappe, as we say in LSU bayou country.
 
Reggie,

Looks like you did quite well on your penultimate maiden voyage - wha disc pattern did you use that included the nickels? Great job on the SLQ - I've only found two of those in 9 years detecting!
 
I set the Iron Mask at about 50% and discriminated out liftabs. I know this probably cost me a lot of nickels, but I did find two to them after all. Just dumb, blind luck following some good advice from you and some others. I got the quarter and one of the nickles out of the same hole. Another cent, nickel and the cubscout pendant were all within a few feet of the quarter/nickle. Thanks again for your help. But I'm not at ease with her yet, so be looking for some more questions from me. Reggie
