Running my at pro low and slow and cleaning up lots of trash. Took a well used section of field and dug hundreds of shallow plugs removing pull tabs and bottle caps to finally get a nice deep tone and what a suprise when I got to it!!!!

Makes it all worthwhile


(although I really would like to see a pic of all the pull tabs, might be a '63 in the mix)

that is awesome. If I laid evey pop top ive dug on the ground I could walk on them to the moon. Where theres pop tops theres people Ive learned on my At pro pop tops the vdi will bounce around 1o to 15 like 55 to 73 gold and coins mostly stay within a few numbers solid Great job!!!!

Busts are tough finds. Many people would not have taken the time and removed the trash. Look how it pays off!

Congrats
