It's been a while since I have used the CoRe. I went out to a new area which I knew was promising but challenging because of the trash that I would encounter. This place was once a turn of the century old tavern recently demolished and converted to a city park. I was shocked by all the trash. Detecting there was an absolute nightmare. According to the CoRe, something made of metal was in the ground every few inches and that was with iron discriminated out ! The racket was insane. I dug mostly coin range signals and raised discrimination at times to make sense of the noise barrage. I was going to leave after I found a few recent copper pennies but out came a 1892 large cent which kept me interested. My finds from the 1800's are rare and always exciting. I also found an old buckle with iron pin still intact and a few older pennies from 1940, 1943, 1947 and 1951. I'm still looking for my first silver coin of the year. I'm sure it is hiding in this area somewhere and I'll find it later.
On a side note, I should have used the small round coil on the detector. The 5 X 9 is quite good but in this amount of trash, only the smallest of coil will pull out the good stuff and make sense of everything that is in the ground.
