New friend and a hunt

[Bamadad53]

Met up with kleinerschmitter on a abandoned school site in Birmingham this morning, 55 degrees with blue sky. kleinerschmitter had a great day, me I had a good day. Any day hunting is a good day. kleinerschmitter definitely knows his machine while I am still learning to operate the AT pro. He found a hot spot and walked over and invited me to partake, which I did and things got better for me there. We hunted for about 3 hours till I had leave to go pick up the wife. Anyway I found 2 zinc pennies, one clad dime, 2 wheat pennies and one bus token. To see a picture of the token go to

The back of my token says "good for one school fare" not "good for one fare" as shown in the picture. One thing I have learned on the At pro is it takes practice and fiddling with the controls to get going on it. Today I hunted in Pro 0 with my sensitivity turned down several notches and my discriminator turned up. Once I did this I could still get a good signal on coins while weeding out most trash and signals I don't understand yet. Now if I can just figure out how to bypass those flattened out aluminum twist caps that sound just like dimes to me I would be content for now.

Congrats on the token and other finds. Practice makes perfect, when I started, to make it easier, I used a lot of discrimination and notched nickels and zincs back in. The more I detected, the less I discriminated. I now only disc out most of the iron range.

Well done on your finds. I'm not sure you can ever stop digging those caps with the pro. They sound so good they just have to be dug.

if you really want to learn what the AT is telling you, dig everything, until you can tell by the sound what it is you're digging, then start tweaking the programs. you'll be surprised at what happens. even the best machine will only do so much.
