An hour behind 5721

With the family here and all the rain we've been having I've been slacking on getting out at night. Wayyyy too many early mornings lately. But anyhow, I was tinkering with my XLT earlier in the day, trying to make a "better" coin program that what is already factory preset. So, using the factory program as a template, I adjusted a few things and changed up the discrimination scales. I knew what I wanted by taking coins I have, from as small as half dimes, right up through dollars, and waiving them in front of the coil. I made myself a coin chart to see what VDI they all come up as. The ONLY coin that would not register with my new settings was a Flying Eagle Cent. I don't plan on finding any right around here so no big deal.

Anyhow, at about 9p, right after TrueBLOOD on HBO, I headed out behind my building, 5721 to see what I could find. My new settings were very stable and really seemed to lock on targets well... though none were any deeper than 3" by my estimate.

I did land a little trash, but with the signals twist caps, beer tops, and aluminum trash items give off, I was bound to.

So here's the haul, 42 coins @ $1.58, a set of very small keys, and an Imperial Play Money Quarter, which is plastic. Found it on top.
