Wow, just got home and I'm still in shock! For the past year my buddy (car91rs) and I have been hitting the old city dumpsite and have found some pretty good stuff, from old Mexican coins, one of which was a silver coin to a 1951 Benjamin half dollar, 1943 Walking liberty, barb half dollar, and a hand full of merc dimes and buffalo nickels, but today.... I have to say my machine proved me wrong. I had traded my T2 Ltd for my AT Gold after it came in defective and was promised that they would give me a new one only for them to tell me they changed the motherboard, for a while I was not to happy with the AT. Gold and missed my T2, but did not like the fact that I could not hear it without head phones. And Unlike my T2 the AT Gold screams... Well, I can honestly say that I love this machine. I'm still learning it but after a a few months i think I'm getting the hang of it. I was about to give up dirt fishing after after a few hrs in this hot sun, but i decided to try my new sniper coil. After another hr and no luck i decided to head back to the car and change my coil for the 5x8, still no bites but i did get more clean tones. After dropping my cliff bar i gave in to the sun and hunger and started walking to the car. I decided to hit the same path my buddy had been having luck the past few day when I got an iffy tone. I continued to pass my coil slower over the target and noticed that the VDI was coming in at 63-67, so i said what the hell I'll dig it up. At first i did not see anything but a flat rock. I removed the rock and passed my coil again and the tones came in sweet and loud. I then began to dig and noticed the gold edge of a coin, at first glance i thought it was probably a Euro coin, it was not until I took my phone to photograph it that I saw the Indian head. Wow, i instantly knew what I had. I could not believe that my buddy had missed it those couple of days with his G2. Good thing i never gave up on my AT Gold. My Tekentics Delta found me the silver and liberty nickels, my T2 found me more Liberty nickels, but my AT Gold found the best find my first Indian 5 Dollar coin! Loving it!!!!!!! Sorry guys if I'm over doing it but this was the last thing i ever thought i would find. Just started this hobby last July. "Thanks to Car91rs, i continued with the hobby and learned a lot from him, thanks buddy!"
