So this year I upgraded to the Garrett atpro as an early birthday present. I took a swing in my backyard and I found a Rhode Island Navy Civil War button. Couldn't believe how quickly I found something I went to the side yard and dug up along one of our trails that date back to the 1700s. I pulled my first-ever silver out of the ground and long behold it was a 1718 reale. I couldn't believe it. Safe to say I fell in love with the AT PRO right away lol.

that will get you by just fine in most circumstances. Anything beyond that is getting into specialized situations. like getting a large coil for mild less trashy fields or already hunted spots cleared of most trash, so you can cover more ground and maybe squeek out a few deeper objects that have been missed. but you will lose target seperation with the large coil so it can't be used easily just anywhere (HIDDEN LINKS REMOVED)

Hello Sheiswe,

I have the AT Pro & AT Gold detectors, both are great for coin shooting, relics and jewelry hunting. If you are in an open area with not much trash the larger 8.5" x 11" DD works very well. As you find yourself in moderate to slightly heavy trash the 5" x 8" DD works well. If you are in a cramped area, under or in brush or in heavy trash areas the 4.5" Super Sniper and Real Gangster apk works very well on...light and has a very small foot print. i believe is has a price of $ 110 dollars. If you search a lot of play ground areas you can get very close to the metallic support poles and fence area. If you should have any specific questions on the AT Series or rechargeable power packs please PM me.

Regards,

Doc

Wow! What a beautiful coin! Congratulations on your first silver! I just purchased an AT Pro and am familiarizing myself with it using the manual. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome find! :icon_thumleft: I'm following a similar track here. Tracker IV (Radio Shack Discovery 1000 version) to an Ace 250 to the AT Pro...then found a 1781 Spanish Half Real in my yard with the AT Pro this last year! :occasion14:
