Could only manage 1 hour tonight at an old local elementary school, but over $8 in clad! Very little trash in the school field, so few bad targets.
Had one target ringing up as 4" down quarter, but it was 18" long?? Normally would pass on this, thought it might be an aluminum tube or cable or spread out smashed can, but it ended up being a 22 quarter pocket spill. Could not believe that they kept coming up. Another 6 quarter spill helped bring the money total up quickly also only 1 penny is extremely strange for me. I was not discriminating against them.
I was actually focusing on trying to hit some silver coins as this school is over 100 yrs old. After I dug my first coin 6", I dropped in a Rosie and refilled and put the plug back in. I could only get a weak one way dime tone that bounced to iron. I looked for these signals but there was too much modern clad and I was freezing, 36 degrees here tonight. My detector kept turning off tonight, first time with this problem, must not have liked the cold.
I also found my first money holder, rang up as a penny, so I did not have high hopes for a nice silver or gold one. Has some slight gilding still in it and it looks like it had an inlay of some kind.
Good luck this weekend. I'm heading to Orlando for a business trip on Sunday and plan on hitting some treasure coast beaches in the evenings. Looking forward to some warmth. Still can't feel my fingers fully!!!

Thanks for sharing...
Hunts like that fund the hobby. By not discriminating out pennies I take it that you were not discriminating zincs. That's a good think since Indian Heads ring up in the zinc range and give a lower VDI than zincolns.
