Hit a real rough looking junky park tonight, seemed to be an endless number of car parts dumped there for some reason, lots of good signals from them too unfortunately (the pictured door lock surround was from the previous hunt ).
On the bright side, I shifted location detecting under some trees on a roadside verge, and picked up a 1957 sixpence, and two lovely Brittania pennies, an Edward 1903 and Victoria 1896 (oh so close to the sorely needed 1895 coin). Once again the pennies cleaned up very well, and Victoria penny in particular has some great detail on it (barely any patina). I think roadside verges and footpaths are one of those areas often neglected by detectorists, but really do offer good finds dropped by pedestrians back in the day.
