I picked it up and WISHED i have a Spray bottle would APPEAR before me! but I carefully removed some dirty and placed it into my pouch.

Cleaned it up under running water and it is in a 2x2 now!!!

Im pretty sure my ATPro is not acting right, I cant get more than 5 inches on coins with the machine.. Auto Ground balance does not seem to work... When I hold the button and pump, the screen goes blank and No sounds comes from the machine.. ALL finds have been between surface and 4-5 inches below... I switched to my BH Platinum with NEL Hunter coil was hitting coins left and right between 4-6 inches, Deepest was a 1944 Merc at 7 inches! Going to contact Garrett about the issue....

Here is the damage!

The star of David was found with the Platinum, the FIRST Target from swinging, when i switched from the ATPro... pretty sure its sterling, even though it has no label or stamp..

GREAT FIND!!! If your ATP want GB and you can't get get good depth you have a problem. Garrett will make it right no doubt.

thanks all! I updated with a few more pictures of today's finds. 6 1/2 hours this is what it looks like. If the AT pro was not messed up, I have a feeling I would have more...

Some coils will not ground balance. My Whites V3i and DFX should share the same coils, but the DFX only likes a couple of them.
Depending on the soil and rainfall, there may not be anything deeper than 5" in an area. Where I am things only get deep if there was a mud slide.

Very nice indeed.

Maybe sterling on the star?
Do they have a mark for Sterling?

No, no mark on the star, but it came out of the ground looking like that. So it has to be silver... the loop looks like silver as well...
