Got up to one degree below zero today.....I was just drenched with sweat when I got home. Hunted for a couple of hours again. I got a cool gold mouse broach, but it wasn't real gold. A nice nitro though. Also got a nice pile of loot. I posted all of my finds today. These were all found in standard mode, zero discrimination with 3/8 notches for sensitivity. Even the tiniest junk bang real hard at great depths with the coil raised about 5" with the sensitivity set at 3 bars.

Here's the best of the best......​

I am hunting hills where kids and adults go down with their toboggans, sleighs, cardboard & snow boards. They often fall, and lose coins and jewellery. Any digger will get the targets out of the snow. The ground is frozen solid under the snow though.

Bullets? No.....My own design for the AT Pro.

what's the deal with the bottle caps? I thought the AT PRO was awesome for eliminating them. Did you know they were caps when you dug them?

I hunt in standard mode, as that is the best mode for my common coinage. I tend to be one of those "dig it all" guys, so I rarely miss a good target. It's not the AT Pro's fault that bottle caps & our one and two dollar coins sound alike. :icon_sunny:

Oh,OK. Well..I have been waiting for a couple weeks now to try my new AT PRO out. There has been too much snow on the ground for me to get out and try it. Tomorrow will be the first week-end since I've had it that the snow will be thin enough to get out there (at least for me). I just need a battery powered, heated digger so I can dig through the frozen turf! Man, I can't wait for it to thaw out!
