I can see from your pics that it has the rays on the reverse. Only 1866 and some of 1867 (the first two years -- actually the first two years the US produced nickel 5 cent pieces) had rays, so it's one of those. Unfortunately, like my only Shield find, a century or more in the ground has not been kind to it. Still an excellent find, though. Park 1 has the lowest default recovery speed (5) on the Eqx800 of all the 8 factory preset modes. I can see from your results that even that is pulling treasure out of iron trash. I continue to be encouraged since iron trash is the biggest nemesis of my sites. Thanks GB! Yep, it's 1867 and pretty clear under the glass. Pk1 has been very good to me. I think the default setting of 5 on recovery and my swing speed work well together. I tend to go a lot slower than most of the guys I hunt with and the 5 tone I like better than 50 tone. That's just personal preference but works for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth sweeper Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Nice!! Mine is still about a month away. If It arrives on time. They are still slow in coming here in Canada. Just means I know in advance what I will be dreaming about for the next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Goldman Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Wonder what was in the center of that bracelet. Great finds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suspect probably a colored glass center piece. It was kinda cool but not expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tometusns Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 I went back out to the ball fields this morning for an hour. I got 5 wheaties. Two of which I could just say man and shake my head. There's been a discussion about getting outside of what you've learned in the past about repeatable signals. 2 of the wheaties were such targets. I was shocked I got 5 wheaties but amazed at 2 of them. I just couldn't hardly believe it when I saw them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tometusns Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 It happened, four hunts a little over 3 hours total. All together 9 wheaties and yesterday the rosey. I played ball here when I was a kid 55 years ago. Pk1 with the recovery 6, volume down to 1 iron, 5 next two segments, 25 on the last two. I'm only looking for high conductors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't hit great but good enough to make me dig it. Glad I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tometusns Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Noxy got a couple more silver rosey's at the park. Got her first half dollars, two from the same yard but not silver. Another barber dime and other treasures. I'm still using pk1, usually run the iron bias at 3, I'll piddle with the segment volume some depending on where I'm hunting. I did set up a user profile with everything rejected but 13 and 22up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
