Metal Detecting
I just bought a Garrett AT Pro. It is my first metal detector. I live on 5 acres in NorCal and this is what I found my first day out.(minus all the bottle caps and crap) First thing was the scissors, not bad. Then I hit the backyard and bingo! A revolver!! Fricken awsome. Found some toys, an axe head, and some pennies also. The gun is a RG .22 cal, company was around from the 60's to 80's I believe. And from what I have read they were a real piece of crap. Didn't find anything of value, but that made my day. I am hooked for life.

Very nice finds for your first time out! :thumbsup:
Hey, even finding half a gun is better then never finding one . . . and in your own backyard too! ;D

Glad to hear you're liking the At Pro! I just got mine last weekend, but with 12" of frost and 6"
of snow here, it's going to be a few weeks until I get to try it out! :laughing7:

Welcome to Tnet! :hello:
