I hunted for about 6 hours and I thought my back would lock up. That's just tooooo much time, ouch. 1 nickle, 2 quarters, 11 dimes and 121 pennies including stinky zinkys. The shell casings are a 30-30 and a 270. The ear stud is .925. 2 tokens which are always fun to me. And other odds and ends. The X-TERRA 50 did a good job working in all the trash. I had the sensitity set at half and would raise the coil a little in the trashiest places.

Nice hunt Terry... nice machine too.

Thanks all. Hey, who knows maybe I'll start a tweezer collection. I did start thinking to myself after a while that I sure am working hard for a penny. Oh my aching back!!!
Hoser the term seemed very appropiate at the time.

That's a nice chunk of change.That's what's great about metal detecting,it supports itself. Plenty of battery money. Good day of hunting..........................Blitz

Ouch, my back hurts just thinking about 121 pennies Terry. Nice stuff though. I've never found tweezers either, but did find a rusty set of fingernail clippers at the beach a few weeks ago. HH!
