My detector discriminates iron out, lol. I can turn it on and in a lot ot the old sites we detect it just goes crazy ! Old tractor parts, nails, etc.

As soon as I can figure out how to post pics on here I'll show ya some old cool stuff. Ive found 3 or 4 old cap guns for example. Some old store tokens, Indian head penny, old unknown things, etc.

Haven't broke my silver coin cherry yet but I've found a ton of clad ! Modern coins.
