I just got into metal detecting primarily because I just purchased a piece of land that has some civil war history as well as ancient indian history on it. I bought a Garrett AT Pro and have been practicing with it in my yard and have found mostly coins, aluminum cans, foil, bolts, etc but I DID just find a gun today! Alright, so it's a tiny toy gun, but it's been fun to text message family and friends telling them I found a gun with my new metal detector and when they get all excited and want to see a pic, I send them this...LOL

Also found a 1952 wheat penny in great shape...hoping to find my brother-in-law's titanium wedding band he thinks he lost in my yard as well. These forums have been a great help getting to know the AT Pro and its settings...thanks, all, for the great forum and info! Looking forward to many more finds.
