My AT Pro Arrived This Morning & What Do You Know.....

[DCMetal]

THE GROUND IS FROZEN!!!!!!

Needless to say I was bound and determined to chisel out something and managed to retrieve 2 items, which included my 5th marble.



The good news-- my yard is still full of prospects. I scanned the entire area and managed to get all sorts of signals for coins, gold and silver. Everything is buried at least 8 to 10 inches down and most of it was not detected by my beginner machine.

Considering the amount of things I've already found (pics below-- only a fraction of my collection), spring will reveal something BIG-- I hope!

You have a great yard! Let me know if you need help... I live in Bowie.

Hey ACM3, tomorrow should be at least 15 to 20 degrees warmer so I plan to do the same. Have you found anything in the week that you've had your AT Pro?

To answer your question, yes, all from my yard. Not to bore the others on the site who have heard it all b/4, but I'll explain. Our lot is huge by DC standards and we live in between Fort Bayard, Battery Kemble and Fort Gaines. My property backs up to a Civil War military road and there was some sort of building here in the 1850s. Items found primarily range from Civil War to 1940s. Loads of fun!

I used to live on MacArthur Blvd so I have some idea where you are. Since I no longer live up there as of 14 months ago, private-message me and I'll tell you about my secret spot off MacArthur just over the Maryland border. I found stuff from a 1732 KG halfpenny up to early 20th Century stuff. A great site and I miss it!

Congrats on your new machine.

I got the same FDR token that I see in your picture! Post that marble in the "Marbles" part of the forum, they will ID it for you!

Good luck to you!

That's so cool. The bronze FDR coin was one of my first finds. Do you know if yours is one a first or second run? I believe there were only two runs made and only a total of 3,000 of them. : )

Hey, if you know what you're doing, I'm happy to host a yard hunt. I could definitely use the help of someone who's been doing this longer than I have. And bonus points if you've read your metal detector manuals. I can't seem to get through them. ; )

DCMetal - You live in a honey pot then! Nice. Yes...i have found something cool the 3 times I have taken it out. Check out my posts. Found 2 items yesterday that I am told are Revolutionary period and it is a place I have hit before with my Bounty Hunter. TONS of signals and great feedback from the machine so I know what to dig. I love my AT Pro. I do notice the battery life is shorter though (but no big deal).
