Hello Friends, hope your summer is going well. John finally found a Barber quarter--seems like he's found everything but! It's a common date, 1898, but pretty nice detail! Also found a nice Colonial(?) era button with a laurel wreath and intact shank. Some "whatitz" too -- your guess is as good as ours. Take care and thanks for looking. ~Lisa & John

Now how did you miss that big old target when you've pounded that ground so hard Lisa? It's funny how that happens sometimes. I bet seeing that silver coin on that old property got your blood flowing! Cheers

Hey Steve, I swear it's the 5 x 7 coil! It hits in places we've been over a couple of times already. Amazing. Thanks, -L&J

go low & slow with the Pro--- I run full bars & Zero disc.

pretend yer a drone over a Boston Creme donut.

I can snipe a qtr sitting on the roof of a '53 Buick just by doin' the wiggly hover using the stock coil.

played the same game with the ACE250 coil---- snared my 1ST Trime that was "colluding" with a square nail & bagged an IH that was being held hostage by a coven of evil witch nails at a foot down.

the growls on the ATPro are the evil iron demons__________ and the itty bitty chirps are cries for help from the captive looty booty___ as da pirates called it :skullflag: 8-) :laughing7:

now go get me more _____ Pavlov's dogs were known to get mean when the bell rang, and there wuz no food :tongue3:

Hey Port--good tips! And boy, do we did a lot of iron on this ex-stagecoach tavern/farm property! Thanks a bunch. -L&J
