Returned to 1930s house permission. The short story from that previous hunt is that the backyard has a nearly constant drone of iron and out of 20 or so coins I (surprisingly) only recovered clad. Other than that, I found a cool toy Porsche. That post was here:

I knew I left behind a ton of good signals, and the owners said I was welcome back. I did better this time around. ATPro, pro zero mode with discrimination on 40, iron audio off during search, and turned on when taking a closer listen to a target.

-Silver 1964 Washington in excellent condition near the end of the hunt,
-12 wheat pennies finally decided to show up (oldest is 1928)
-Three very nice 1930s-1950s toy soldiers.
-9 clad pennies.
-Clad 1980s quarter with a big dent (shot?).
-Stainless steel (identification?) bracelet with JAPAN stamped on the back, but nothing else. I'm thinking a label must have been glued to it long ago.
-broken toy gun pieces.

I plan to go back in the early spring because there's plenty more out there, including a lot of mid range signals. As you can see from the junk photo, I tried my luck with a few and was rewarded with pull tabs and washers. Most of the nails were pulled from holes while looking for another target.

Now here's a crazy coincidence. The smallest toy soldier goes to the same 1950s Union of Africa set as a toy solider I found in my own yard a few weeks ago and posted here:
