Very worn seated dime

[Fire Fighter 43]

I detected a site Ive been looking for for a couple years. I finally found it after much research and a talk with a local person. It is an old hotel that was built in 1880 and was in use until it burnt down in 1933. It was a 3 story hotel with a couple out buildings. The location is a wooded area on private property. I obtained permission and was excited to hunt it. Unfortunately it was as I expected, loaded with iron trash. I did manage to find one silver, a 18?? seated dime. It is the most worn coin I have ever found. I could tell it was seated because I can barley make out the 18 of the date and it has large numbers similar to the seated dimes. I also found one wheat 1927. The other finds are from the ball diamond Ive been hunting. The watch is a Timex and "It Keeps On Ticking". It was down about 4 inches and after cleaning it I wound it up set the time and what do you know, it works. Got to love a Timex.
Does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with all the iron. I thought of using a smaller coil and running 2 tone ferrous. I just need to figure out a good set-up for 2-tone ferrous.

Congrats on the seated dime.

I would use TTF for sure if there is alot of iron/nulling. Great finds
