I went out again tonight after dinner to the tot lot that I last hit on the 4th. This time instead of running the AT Pro in Coin mode, I figured I was competent enough to have a go at Pro mode. Iron discrimination to 40, iron audio off, and awayyyy. I hit the surrounding grassy area as well because why not.
Results (shown here) were $3.35 in clad, a 50 Euro cent coin that almost gave me a heart attack when I dug it up and saw the gold color, a 200 peso coin from Columbia, and what I think is a Chinese yuan coin of some denomination. The high point was finding the Kennedy half lurking in a wood chip pile up against one of the larger metal poles of the play structure. It showed/sounded off as a strong solid 97, and even though I'd turned the sensitivity down very low and angled the detector as best I could, I still wasn't sure if it was a real target until I pulled it out.
The garbage is in upper left; that metal ring rang up exactly as a quarter, and when I first saw it I thought "sweet, silver ring." Not quite. All the jewelry/shiny things in top center is junk.
