1st full day hunt with 5x8 equals quarter trifecta.

[Sheppie22]

Received permission to hunt a 1860 home today and a buddy and myself went to check it out. Thought I would leave the Etrac in the car today and get some more experience with the AT Pro. Started out with the stock coil but quickly found out that the entire small yard was iron infested. A quick switch to the 5x8 coil was in order. It was my first chance to really try out the coil and I don't know if it will ever come off. Even with all the iron I was able to pull out 47 coins with 15 of them being quarters. Someone must have had a quarter fight. It was very easy to pick out the good signals between all of the iron. Just had to go slow. I repeat,,,,,, Slow. Many of the coins that I dug had nails in with them. Both the Barber and the SLQ where between 7-8 inches and the Merc was a good 7 inches. Very impressed with this coil and the AT Pro for that matter. Don't get me wrong. I still love my Etrac, however they compliment each other very well. Each has it's strengths.

Glad you're coming to terms with the ATP as it didn't start out that way. The 5x8 is the way to go as you have now learned. It's plenty deep enough and works iron and other trash well and makes it much more pleasant to swing.

Nice haul of coins BTW. I haven't hit a Barber in over a year! I'm Jealous!

Awesome finds. How did the older silver quarters read on the VDI?

Thanks, you are correct. Just had to give it some time. It is a totally different detector with the 5x8 on there.

Both we're bouncing around a lot from no vdi to occasionally hitting 86 but could hear the faint high tone.

Thanks, I figured that I would quit pestering everyone on here and just get out and learn the machine. It definitely can do the job.

That was a great hunt, the 5X8 is a killer combination.
