Not talking about the weather either. It has been uncharacteristically SOGGY here in Wis this year which is a big reason why I bought the ATP in the first place.
Well today I FINALLY got my first silver coin of the year. '47 Rosie!
Like a slugger in slump, I hope that's over!

Other cool finds today were an old bell minus the clapper and handle, 30's era copper lipstick cartridge & a 3 gem ring. I'll try to post pics later.

This ATP is becoming a preferred weapon of choice for me. I even left ALL my Whites home today.

Congrats I dug a 45 quarter two days ago too. I guess the stars are in alignment or something.

Congrats on the silver! In 2 yrs, I've yet to find a silver detecting (my bucklist is humble). Although last week i pulled a 42 nickle out of a vending machine at work. LoL

Congrats again :)

I've only been doing this for about two months. Last week I got my first silver a Mercury Dime 1945. Then 6 Wheat Penny's. Today I found number 7. I would like to have a week long hot streak. I'd even settle for a 4 hour hot streak!:laughing7: I've found over 35.00 in clad,not counting the Stinking Linclon pennys!

Congrats fella! Hopefully I'm not too far behind you! I think we got out AT's around the same time. You're from WI? Me too, Rice Lake here, how about you?

No kidding! Are you a member of the three seasons treasure hunters? I've spoken with ken a few times in that group. I'm still considering joining. If you get up north here, send me a message. I'm on facebook, Ron Litland. Happy hunting!

So does that mean ur whites detectors r in the house for now ? I ll admit it is nice taking out a good detector without all the programs & adjusting which way the wind is blowing & still come up with some good finds

You know what, It's becoming my "go to". I really like the way it communicates to the user. I love my Whites too but I'm much more dependent on the display. I almost don't use the display on the ATP. Tones on the ATP convey much better info to me than any display!

Congrats, cool finds. Looks like the AT Pro is bringing you some luck!
Yeah kinda looking that way.

What the...? I'm gonna have to start following you around! Congrats on the silver!
I won't be leaving anything for you if you follow! LOL!
