'57 is a good year! Maybe it was on a 1957 Chevy! Its also a good year for finding silver coins. That's a better sign than finding a 1967 plate IMO, thats the year of all the quarters I find.

Good luck out there!

ATPro is a fantastic machine! I use mine with a 5x8 coil as much as I use my Etrac. Really nice finds, congrats

If you don't want to loose a lot of time you have to get the 5x8 coil. It is a fantastic one.

Congrats man! Nice finds! I'm in Co springs now but haven't had the chance to go Metal Detecting with it yet. How is the soil in this area? I ask because in MN usually it is very soft and not a problem to dig, from what I see in CO it might be harder.

Congrats on the AT Pro - I have one and I've been very happy with mine - very solid machine.

I highly recommend the 5x8" coil (and a coil cover) - really great for trashy areas and woods - I use it all the time. I usually run in Pro mode with Zero discrimination to get the best picture of what's in the ground. A handy feature is that you can change the frequency used by the machine, which helps in areas with electrical interference, or when you're detecting with a group.

Good luck!
