Hey all, went to my spot in the woods today with my brothers At Pro. Found a Buffalo nickel that I think is a 1931 and what I think is a suspender clip. Got a 1889 V Nickel and a 1917 Merc the other day as well but I didn't take any pictures.

I don't find a lot of buffalo nickels but when I do I consider them some of my better finds.

I don't always use the At Pro, I just like going over spots that I've already done to see if a different detector will find something I've missed.

Maybe I was wrong about the At Pro. Nobody will believe me I bet but the 1917 Merc I found the other day was at least 12 inches deep. I gave up on it 3 times thinking it was deep rust until finally I got a hit with my pinpointer and pulled it out.

Cool suspender clip. Amazing how well it cleans up after 100+ years underground.

I didn't have to clean it at all actually. I was amazed that it was still in pretty good shape given the age.

The more I use the AT Pro the more I like it. I still think the pinpoint isn't the best and the stock coil isn't great in trash but it's a very capable detector.

Thought you were now using a 1266-X? (Nice finds btw).

The 1266 I traded for was broken when it arrived so we traded back and I have the Coinstrike back.

Glad you are finding good stuff, and I'm happy that you are giving the AT Pro a fair chance. The more I used mine the more I liked it as well. And for the record, I believe that your 1917 Merc was 12 inches deep! I have found silver dimes with my Pro in the 10+ inch range....
