Greetings folks! Sorry about the huge delay in reporting my Round II results. Have had a death in the family and it has been a difficult few weeks. So here goes.
My dig took place March 4th and I used my Whites Classic III SL with Mr. Bill Mods. ( Analog Rules!) I chose to dig my round at Indian Run Meadows Park here in Dublin. I researched a 1903 map of the area and noticed a homestead marked within the park. My hunt took place at the edge of the park which is mostly just a grassy field area of the park that is rarely mowed. My car is parked in the background in the old driveway.
There is a bike path which comes off the road and crosses a bridge over Indian Run creek and takes you back to the main part of the park.
Ok here are the results!
Target #21 was an old brass cabinet hinge with a nail head still lodged in it.
Target #22 is a quarter sized brass disk.
Target #23 is a 2001 Lincoln.
Target #24 is a 1988 Lincoln.
Target #25 is a Peters 12 gauge low brass shotgun shell.
Target #26 is an old aluminum screw cap.
Target #27 is a 1981 Lincoln.
Target #28 is a featureless green disk. After a good zapping with the electrolysis rig a 1909 IHC appeared!
Target #29 is a old door knob mechanism which used a skeleton key.
Target #30 is a brass retaining ring that sits at the top of a oil lamp.
Target #31 is a decorative brass hair clip.
Target #32 is a iron ring.
Target #33 is another iron ring with connecting loop.
Target # 34 is a brass harmonica reed.
Target 35 is a aluminum screw cap.
Target #36 is a 1989 Canadian cent.
Target #37 is a brass doodad.
Target #38 is a 2002 Lincoln.
Target #39 is a 1987 Roosevelt.
Target #40 is a brass barbed hose connector.
And there you have it. Sorry I didnt get a chance to do individual photos of the targets after cleaning.
ROCKETMAN, you are the winner of Round II with the 1909 IHC! Please PM me your addy and I will get your prize out to you!
When I do, I want to shoot video and maybe even do some VTH-style contests like this, on at least one of my days in the field. We'll see how that pans out.
Of course there is still much preparation before that goes off. Maybe it can happen before the end of the year, who knows.

Congrats on the silver! Those Mercury dimes are beautiful coins!
I was amused seeing your first target (the screwcap)...
I get a lot of those too. Great signals that one just has to check out. Ugh.

I can't wait for round two!
It's all about what the people want...

Good job on the video. I liked my hunk of aluminum whatzit.
Nice work there.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Thanks Rob for allowing me to be a digger!
Its my lucky day!!!!! I live in OR and I've yet to find an Indian Head, so that would have been an exciting find!!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Thanks, Rich
Now that 09' IHP wouldn't happen to have an S mint mark now would it? Either way, Nice digs...
Congrats to Rocketman
Hey Lord Marcovan, How Does one become involved in the actual digging? I'd love to dig a round
Happy Hunting Everone!
Edit for spelling
It's all about what the people want...

My target #31 was the brass decorative hair clip. cool!
Congrats to ROCKETMAN
Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
Thanks for doing that, and for the great action shots. Congrats on the IHC- it's been a while since I dug one.
Dear participants: sorry that both John and I had outside issues that probably delayed this too much. It was fun, though.
It looks like I'll be going on a dig trip to England, after all.
When I do, I want to shoot video and maybe even do some VTH-style contests like this, on at least one of my days in the field. We'll see how that pans out.
Of course there is still much preparation before that goes off. Maybe it can happen before the end of the year, who knows.
You going with Chicago Ron? He posts on Treasurenet and that guy pulls out a lot of nice stuff wherever he goes.
