I went out for a short hunt at lunch today and got a few pieces of trash. I found a 1950D wheat cent and found a 1947 Rosie in a hole with a nail which gave a very poor signal but good enough to entice me.

Then made it out for a short hunt on the way home from work to a park where many old 1800's homes used to be located. The ground is very manipulated and there is lots of big iron and trash, but occasionally I can find a nice old coin or relic. Got this 1902 toasted IH on today's hunt. Also met a local neighbor who has an Ace250 but hasn't used it much. I dug the IH while he was watching me. I bet he'll be out there all day tomorrow!

Three photos of the IH, before cleaning, after soap/water, and after hot hydrogen peroxide. It was pretty crusted up, but I'm OK with how it turned out.
