Well was mostly a bust. This mining old mining town I was out gets hit hard so didn't expect much. Can't really tell there was ever a mining town where I was but it was spread all over a large area and even had a old gold coinage mint in it. But I was finding a lot of mid tone signals that were trash but if those are there it tells me there is a good chance stuff is missed and there is so much area to cover. Found a nice horse shoe that looks kind of odd to me, some weird shaped flat piece of iron, a old button, a rock that is super heavy that my metal detector picked up on the mid tone so I don't think it's iron and doesn't seem like lead so I'm stumped. I think I'll get back out didn't to this spot so much area to explore and my coil didn't charge right and died in a couple hours darned deus hf coil always gives me charge issues.(edit, the "rock" is just a chunk if iron metal detector was just reading it as mid tone I guess because it was close to the surface.)

Nice finds, JVA5th. I’m curious to know what the flat iron piece is. I hate those rocks that set the detector off.

I'm curious about that one too. Thought it was a old boot plate but I doubt that is it. I'm kind of curious about the rock though. I'm not sure if it's a piece of broken iron or some sort of natural stone with a lot of solid iron in it. Doesn't look like it would be something broke off of a man made object. It's definitely iron though because I stuck a magnet to it.
 

Tonight on the menu some home made macaroni and cheese using some stewed tomatoes from the garden. We're tapped out of lettuce so I'll section a couple of oranges, take some marinated artichokes, marinated eggplant and some pitted black olives and make a salad out of them for a change of pace. Should be tasty.
:/
