All Treasure Hunting
Went out this weekend with Tejasdigger, and hit up a new spot we have never detected. It was pretty much a bust until I found this Token.
It seems to be pretty old, as it was neon green when I pulled it out of the ground.

About 20 mins later I got a real Iffy signal, and it turned out to be this broken small silver ring.

That was all for that spot, dont think we will be returning anytime soon.

I went out Sunday morning to check on a spot that we have been hunting for years, and they are doing major construction in the area.

I saw where they scraped the ground to make a drainage ditch, So I decided to hit that area.

The first Signal I got was about 4 inches deep, which was crazy because they must have moved over a foot of dirt off the top.

I dug down and found my firts Buffalo for the year!!..it was dateless, but still cool.

I took a couple more steps got another Iffy signal, dug down 6 inches, and got my first Indian Head Penny for the year!! and Only my second one ever!!

it was a 1903, and I still cant get the thing cleaned off.


took a few more swings, and got a "Goldish" signal, duig down another 6 inches and out pops this little silver banded ring. So it had to be as old as the Buff and IH I had just dug...I was starting to run out of the area they dug, when i got a straight up Nickel Signal, I figured it was anther Buff or maybe even a V-Nick.

But it turned out to be this sweet little (1.3 gram) 14k Nugget Earring!!..i was suprised to see it , because it doesnt seem to be as old as my other finds.

I was heading back to the car, and I saw the pile they had just removed to make this ditch, I only had about 15 mins left, and in those 15 minutes, I manage to find a couple more pieces of Silver and 6 wheats!.

So i WILL be back there this week to clean up anything I may have missed.

Well, thanks for reading.

Any Info on this token would be great.

it says

ED. FRIEDRICH SALES CORP , SAN ANTONIO TEXAS, and has the crest.seal on it.

The reverse just has the horseshoe, and says GOOD LUCK.

I found something Similar, but the one that I found on the Internet shows a Bust on the front side, and mine has the seal on it.

Sweet finds! Congrats.

Remember what the "goldish" signal was on the VDI of you AT?
 
Think about How the Soil Moves When Being Forced Out of the Ground And Being Moved !!!! I Rolled and Churns around!!! They are moving Years Or More At A Time!!! We Would Be Out there In force Until Told To Get Away
 
Holy cow! That is awesome! It seems like the At Pro is the cream of the crop of detectors....everybody's finding good stuff with them! I'm getting ready to get the Fisher F2 soon...I may upgrade to the AT PRO not long after....
Congrats on your finds!!!

Yea, It was bouncing from 63-64, So i thought it would have been a new pulltab or maybe gold, but turned out to be a small silver ring.

ive noticed in teh last month or so, I have found alot of small Silver items that were ringing up as Gold, I guess because of there size. But Most the Gold I have found were in the 50's. I did find 2 rings that rang up as 48-49, and a larger ring that read as 59-60, but the other rings and gold i have found were dead on 51-52, which is a Nickel about 90 percent of the time.

Oh I hear you..I think these people are getting sick of seeing me..lol..But the cool part is that they did give me permission to hunt this area, and always ask what I find..They are some really nice Spanish guys that actually seem interested.

Right on. That's good info to know. I've found one piece of gold with my at pro. It was a 10k religious pendant that came up as a solid 41. Was curious of how much a variance on each target was, which you explained. Thanks :)
 
Nice! Cannot wait to get my new AT Pro out in the field.
 
Great finds! And you pounced on a good opportunity. Is that an Indian in there too? Should clean up nice with hot peroxide.
 
Man your AT Pro is on FIRE! Have you tried the 5X8 coil?
 
My AT pro is in the Mail.

Thanks Bart ;)
