I went to a local city park on Sunday to hunt before the rains came down. I found a lot of pull tabs and some clad. Started to head back to the vehicle and I got a nice 86 with the AT Max. So I dug a plug and a 1941 GW silver quarter was at 6" deep.

I move along about 10 more feet and I got a nice 92 - 93. Thinking maybe a silver half or something else. It turned out to be the something else at 12" deep. My first pocket watch.

I got home yesterday from work a little stress out from day. I decided to go out in the park in front of my house that I have hunted off and on for the last seven years. Lately I have been only finding clad pennies. I decided to bring the Max with me and I set the ground balance -5 from the original GB. I swung for about an hour, I got an 83 down to 25 back up to an 86. Turned 90 degrees and the VDI was 22. Thinking it was a piece of iron I almost didn't dig. But curiosity got the better of me, out came the plug in goes the pin pointer out comes a iron nut. Re-scanned the hole and lo and behold this what was look at me at 8".

Lesson to be learned dig all signals and don't ever think any place has been completely cleaned out.
Thanks for viewing.

Nice job. Good info. Nice finds. Silver and pocket watch. Congrats
 

Those are some really deep signals, and you were richly rewarded for your efforts - congrats! :occasion14:
 

Congratualtions on the silver and pocket watch! :occasion14:
 

Definitely dig all signals. People that do not just don't find as much.

Very nice coins. Hard to believe you are not using an Equinox
 

sweet, congrats on not giving up and finding some very cool stuff plus the silver
 

Thanks for all the comments. The AT Max has been giving me deeper tones. I just can't seem to pass up any tone. I guess I'm cursed to dig i all.
