After slowing down last week and finding alot of treasure I missed I decided to hit another lot of mine that I swear I hunted out. Without my Pro dont know if I could do this, so much trash in these lots its never silent so the 5x8 helps so much in seperation. Came up with some pretty good finds, 2 silver dimes, a Germany sterling silver ring looks to be maybe from the 20's, 2 silver plated items a pin and ring, tax token, usual wheats, marbles and bullets and casings.also something strange a 1965 bent dime that was tied in the middle of a material bow? Have alot of cleaning to do on my finds, the dirt is so hard on most of my finds.

The 5X8 is crucial on the Pro. I've never went to the stock.

Nice finds!

Plenty of stuff still out there. Just have to beat the heat, dust, and bums!
I didn't see you this weekend, stayed out of the "zombie lots" for a change. Went out with a new guy and I got 5 wheats and a merc Saturday, he got 20 wheats and a rosie. We went all over town for around 6 hours until the heat got to us! I have some new lots to work next time we can get together. 40's houses never detected before.

I was looking for ya Saturday, hit the teardowns on 8th and found 2 wheats only. So sunday decided to go to Zombie town, great description by the way and try my luck again. Might have a good lead for us a man drove up said his grandfather just passed and needed to someone to search the back for a rumor of hidden money. Said he lived in the house for 70 years. Gave him my number said he would call after he talked to his siblings about it. So what area are the new lots? I also have been finding some potential sights on historical aerials for us.

I was in Huntridge for about an hour Sunday before quitting and found some empty homes. Also got a 1915-s wheat at a lot on 10th that has a vacant home. Text me about the "hidden money" home and we can make sure it is hidden no more LOL! (I'll message you my number if you don't have it)

Thanks, been when of my best years in detecting. Hunted with with Gta 1000 for 15 + years and didn't feel the need to upgrade but wow, the atpro really has made a difference and has produced alot of silver for me. Still have to give credit to my Gta for finding my 1928 peace dollar at a street tearout last year. Onxe in a lifetime find for me, not only my first dollar but a key date.

The 5X8 is crucial on the Pro. I've never went to the stock.

Nice finds!

They need to offer that in a package deal with the AT Pro and then you can downgrade later and get the stock coil.

I'm still trying to clean the crude off of my finds from Saturday and Sunday. The soils that I dig in do a number on anything aluminium and I found a lot of aluminum tokens this weekend. I hope to post pictures in the next few days.

BTW, Nice finds as always!

Really nice finds, I catch myself moving to fast sometimes and your words of advice that you gave me in one of your replies to one of my threads echo in my head. .....

LOW AND SLOW

It really works, Thanks

The mercury find was 8" plus, barely a signal but I would of missed it if I wasnt going at a snails pace. Its hard when you have a large area you want to cover but im finding out how much I was missing by swinging at half the speed I was. Keep thinking maybe I was going so fast I passed over that gold coin, not anymore.
