Omg guys im still on cloud nine!, ill try to keep the rant to a minimum on this one!!. So I was headed up to the spot of my draped bust lc from 2 days ago because the owner said I can come back whenever I wanted and on my way I spotted this old farm home with a lady doing gardening so I said "eh why not, if she says no I already got a plan B" And of course I get the "someone was through here already" but she let me take a crack at it. all she asked was if she could see my finds before I left. So im gridding along and get a nice little 3 wheat spill and thought cool, it has potential. within about 10 feet of the three wheat spill I get a nice low 70s tone and it was deep, I figured indian and I was right, 1888!, my atpro was talking so sweet to me today, very faint repeatable tones like the one I got immediately following the indian. I got a whisper of a 89-91 and it was saying 10", easy sandy soil so I dug it and out pops the :headbang:1889 SEATED DIME!!!!!! my first seated:headbang: In my opinion the holy grail of detecting finds! Heres a little video to tell the rest of the tale:

within 2 ft. of the seated out pops a :headbang:1902 barber!!!!:headbang: I thought are you kidding me? 2 years with a merc being my oldest and I killed it today 1889 seated and 1902 barber! my phone died after the 1902 barber and I got 3 more Indians and a 1937 buffalo, then that sweet low whisper of a 89-91 at 10" again, I pop the plug and POW!! 1912 Barber!! un freaking believable!!, this place was supposed to be hunted out! I got some clad, a little junk , and 11 wheats total along with some trinkets and 2 intact harmonica reeds. I found 5 late 90s matchboxes and gave em back to the owner. Guys today is the best day of my detecting hobby by far! gonna be hard to beat, Silvers 15,16,and 17 are some doozies in my books! thanks for reading, watching, and HH!!

It's kind of funny. We hunt and we hunt and we hunt. Hoping for that one day when the planets align. Then, when it ACTUALLY happens, we gotta keep pinching ourselves to make sure it's real! LOL

You put in the time, the research, the bravado to ask and you finally reaped some rewards!

Glad for you!

Many happy returns of the day!
thank you sir yes today was one of those days ivebeen dreaming about

I run in pro zero mode. Iron audio on, disc at 35, its awful noisy but it seems to help me get those deep targets amongst the iron, I love hearing the faint whisper of silver or indians:thumbsup:

Yeah, I have been doing the same now, and using my little coil. That little coil really helps separate all those signals!

Sounds like somebody else should've spent more $ on a better machine. Good on you for pulling the deep stuff and nailing some firsts

yeah I still have the big coil, I have to get the 5 by 8 I hear good things about it.

it's mind boggling how these things were missed yes they were deep but the tones we're very repeatable you would think any detector should have been able to find them

That is one big difference between the ATP and my old Garrett. I can see the separation now in targets, even with the stock coil.
