Detector(s) used
White's DFX 300 Sunray DX-1 probe/ XLT Sunray XL-1 probe
It has a lot of catching up to do, my XLT has 9 for the year so far ;D

Got permission to hunt the cow farm my neighbors own.
Hit the hay field closest to my house this morning and in about 20 Min's got a +83 VDI down 4 inches.
Out of the plug popped a green disc!

Cleaned it up, but the field was not kind to it.
Looks like a late 1830s matron, or a braided hair. (any ideas are welcome :) )

Looked over a corn field after lunch, not much.
A few buttons and an oil lamp top.
(The copper 1982 was found this morning near the large cent and is just used for scale :D )

I am using a custom program very close to one of the programs covered in the book "Understanding Whites DFX"
It is a mixed mode/VCO program (with the Preamp gain up as high as it will go of coarse)
I use it on the XLT as well
If you don't mind the bumble bee sound buzzing in your ear, it is a great field program for depth.
