I finally grew a pair and upgraded to an AT Pro. So far, so good...I went on three hunts with the new machine totaling about 5hrs. One hunt was at a high school and the other two were at a nearby park. Here are my finds minus the trash...a little over $5 in clad, a refs whistle, spoon, silver chain, piece of a silver earring, star pendant, and a real draft beer can lol

The ATP is probably one of the most versatile detectors on the market. For the money, it is a great one. Hope it gives you many good memories.

I found a 'silver" chain exactly like yours a few weeks ago marked "925 Italy". I was real happy with it.

Unfortunately, when I cleaned it that silver paint started flaking off. It definitely had me fooled too. It looked right and the weight was right.

Congrats on getting out and feeding the addiction. That clad adds up quick. Looks like you pulled a few keepers.

Damn, that's a bummer.

Gotta' take the good with the bad. No big deal. The more junk I dig the closer I am to the next real one.
I am glad one of us ended up with a real one though.

If you have the stock coil on then you might want to do what a lot of us have done and try the 5x8. Since I switched to it and stared using pro zero mode my good finds have increased and I think it's because of this coils ability to separate targets in trashy environments.

Yeah the 5x8 is the way to go for parks and yards, and pro zero mode is fantastic.

Excellent hunt, , my AT PRO paid for itself in 18 months with clad finds alone. It has found gold and silver jewelry as well as silver coins. You're going to like that bad boy.
