Hey Guys, it's been a while.

[james-florida]

Hey everybody! I've been on a hiatus from the detecting world for a little while, not by choice of course. Been a member here for a while. Signed up years ago when I got my first detector (Pioneer 101) and had a fun time detecting. However, with time constraints pushing down on me I was forced to sell my beloved 101.

Years have gone by, and time has gotten a little easier to manage. I've always wanted to start again and always had my heart set on the AT Pro. Well, my fiance was browsing Craigslist and seen an ad that our local pawn shop had posted. They had an AT Pro for sale with no price listed. She gave me the number and I gave them a call just to see. After asking the condition and what all it came with (absolutely mint and came with original headphones, manual and kellyco carry bag) I finally asked the price. He said........... I can do $220 out the door! After giving him my card number over the phone, I left work for a few and went and picked it up!

So long story short, I'm back and better than ever! Today was my first hunt and was only about 30 minutes at the park next to my house.

Picked up some clad, old pull tab and a pretty cool ladies razor box (pictured after I cleaned it)

So, this is a today's find and a re-introduction. I'm looking forward to many more hunts and being an active member of the site. Thanks!

You are going to love the AT Pro. I started with the Pioneer 101 as well several years back. It was great to get me hooked on metal detecting. The AT Pro is a big step up. Have fun and good luck with your finds.

Must feel great to be back in the game! The AT Pro has been a solid performer for me. Like a natural part of my arm now! Good luck on future finds and I look forward to reading your posts.

Thanks for the warm welcome back! Excited to get back in the game. Can't wait for the savage Florida Heat to go away!

Congrats on the great purchase price on the AT PRO.
I really like the Ladie's Razor tin. So many times, compact tins from Makeup to Merry Widows tins were used for carrying coins. I recovered my 1st and only cache when I dug up a makeup tin with 5 pennies in it.
Congrats on a nice hunt.

Welcome back! And what a smoking deal on that ATP! If I found another one for that price I'd snatch it up in a second for a backup...GL & HH...ddf
