A Day of Strange one of a Kind Finds

[ScubaDetector]

Went back out for something to do today. I went back to the area I have been hitting. I really slowed down and started digging anything that gave me a high tone or a mid tone and an iron or any other tone. I dug a lot of nails. However, I did dig some deep silver and a few one of a kind finds. As for silver I got a Washington quarter, a Barber dime 1903, and 5 mercs. I also got a small sterling lock. Two buffalo nickels, a 1935 and a no date one. 5 wheat's about did it.

Now for the strange things. The metal typer token is the first I ever found with a patent date on it. 5-15-23. I have a lot of them but none that old that I know of. Next is the small old car. It says THANKS FOR THE BUGGY RIDE on it. Another strange find is the swim buckle with a boy riding a sheep? LOL. The last item was probably a ribbon because both parts were in the same hole. The top part says American Legion. The bottom says AMERICAN LEGION THIRTEENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION DETROIT 1931

WTG ON THE HUNT - IF I HAVE A PLACE LIKE THAT - THAT YOU ARE GOING TO CONSTANLY GO BACK TO - GO IN ALL METAL (AUTO TUNE)
AND JUST DIG IT ALL - DONT KNOW IF YOU KNOW - WITH CZ21s
IF YOUR BATTERIES ARE LOW - IT MAY READ GOLD AS A LOW TONE (WHICH FOR THE NON CZ USERS - LOW IS BAD USUALLY - NOT GOOD LIKE IT IS WITH AN EXCAL)
IF TARGET IS REALLY DEEP - IT MAY READ OLD SILVER AND GOLD AS A LOW TONE ALSO - I GET STUFF IN THE 2 FOOT RANGE - IF SIGNAL IS WEAK IT CAN NOT REGISTER ENOUGH TO GIVE A HIGH TONE - SO GOODIES DOWN REAL DEEP THAT GO OFF AS WHISPERS OR REALLY FAINT
- YOU MIGHT BE READING AS A LOW TONE AND PASSING UP

Casper,

I MIGHT do that when I have cleaned a lot out. The problem is the nails. HUNDREDS of them were dropped or something when they built the huge "H" shaped dock. I must have dug over 50 yesterday. For some strange reason this new CZ-21 is NOT giving me a double beep on any nail. The volume is way too low also. As soon as I get my 10" coil one back I intend to send this one in under warranty to have the volume turned up and to see why it doesn't ever give a double beep. If any target gave me a high or medium tone one way yesterday I dug it.
