Hi all,

Had a descent day. Started early at an old farm, and I think I found the original house that burned down. Inside of foundation is alive with signals but really deep. I think they just threw everything in the hole and buried it. I found an old bed spring and square nails, so I think I'm close.

These I found in my yard when I got home. House built in 1907. Yard is covered with iron 6 to 8 inches. I know there's more, so I just purchased a Garrett AT PRO with the 5 x 8 coil. Hopefully that will make it easier to separate the junk from the good.

Hope you all had a good day. HH

You're going to like the AT PRO.
I used the 5 X 8 almost exclusively after about a month with the stock coil. What a difference it made.
