I went out today to a local park, which has been around in some form, since the early 1900's. I went with the AT Pro today. Thunder storms on and off today, so I left the ETrac and home. I took a 15 minute hike up some old roads in the park, that a trapper I work with told me about. He said there was some old foundations from an old farm there.

As soon as I got out of the car, got my gear, got my detector and started walking up the old washed out road, it started to rain. Then it started to pour! I have the stock black headphones that come with the AT Pro. I had the headphones on and put my hood up to protect the headphones. I know the AT Pro is supposed to be waterproof, but the headphones aren't.

I finally got up to the top of a hill and there is was. Old stone foundations and old bottles, wagon wheels, and junk everywhere!

The AT Pro had taken a total shower in the rain and was soaked. I turned it on, and it fired right up! I guess they didn't lie about waterproofing it! I didn't really have too much time and wish I had brought the 5x8 coil for the trash. I found 2 wheat pennies, which was nice. It just was a very cool place to walk around in.

I posted a few pics of the site, as well as my jacket and the AT drying out a bit there.

I like hunting spots like that, not just for the good fines but for the feeling I get hunting a old site like that, I am sure it will give up some good fines. Good hunting.
