Thing is.. I have hunted my yard hundreds of times, and I thought there was nothing left, I know this for sure, because my Bounty Hunter and ACE 350 have told me so. My AT Pro arrived today, courtesy of Bart at Big Boy Hobbies. I was stunned to find a penny, right in the middle of my back yard! I think back to the dozens of permissions that I have hunted before, and I know that there is more that I left behind. I cant wait to learn this machine, hope to show off some goodies soon! HH!!

You did better then us. We tried revisiting some sites we hit before we got out AT Pros and can't say we found anything new?
I've gotta say we pounded those sites and dug pretty much everything with our old detectors. Lol

I normally go back and hunt going in a different direction (i.e. 1st hunt was gridded east to west, 2nd hunt would be gridded north to south.. If that produces quality finds then I do the yard at a 45 degree angle. I use tennis balls when I grid a yard, when I get to one I use my detector to slide it to the direction I am going, this helps me stay in line and decreases the chance that I miss any spots.

I upgraded to the F75 with boost mode last fall, so I have to go over all the places I hunted last season with my F4 and run the F75 in BP mode to see if I left any DEEP targets behind. I don not expect to beat last years haul of $510 in face value, but I should find some deep quality keepers
