Finally, first silver with my new ATPro

Hit my local 1 room schoolhouse, that I have hunted several times over the years, mostly with my GHMCX but with my new ATPRo I went back for a recheck..
Right along the edge of the building, totally trash infested, chicken wire, bottle caps, fragments of iron, I was hunting in Pro Zero almost max sens, disc on 30. iron audio on. it was a dizzying event hearing constant iron signals but it was the only setup that would hit coins.
I tried Pro coin, iron audio off, NO BELL tones,, turn on iron Audio, and a decent signal mixed in with the iron.. strange, but that was the only way to get 70's on the ID. A smaller coil would have been ideal, but I worked some super narrow sweeps, over the good signals,,2 inches wide wiggle wiggle...I got a good reading, and felt good about it... less than 4" 1945 Mercury. My kids gave the thumbs up...ironically it is right in the footpath a few feet from a geocache, and my kids said, imagine how many people walked over this not knowing....Yep I told them, thats the fun thing about discovery..you never know what's below.

Nice job! I do a little geocaching myself with kids. We have had the most fun MetroCaching in town. People look at us like we're wacko all with iPhones and GPS's in hand wandering around looking for cache. Great fun!

Congrats on your find!

My kids and I geocache, as well! And yes, people give us odd looks but you only live once and who cares, right? Most importantly, be safe!

What is this now instead of detecting we are geotecking....... Why can't you people leave the true lingo in detecting.....

 

[dirtdreamer]

Look up geocaching... We do both when we find the location. We sign the log, make a quick exchange, then we metal detect for a while. Geocaching is a blast!

 

[solaryellow]

Wow, didn't realize many other geocached as well... We go to hundreds of these, and detecting in these areas seems logical.. many old places......

 

[Keppy]

Never did that kind of bull in my day ..... It sounds like a game to you people..... Not true detecting.

.. Not for me.. I am a true hunter not a game player..... And i don't see how that word geo every got in to the detecting world........What next...

Keppy, I hardly confuse the 2. I just pointed out that there happened to be one right near where I found the Merc. most of the locations I go to are historic in some way, they always have a "geo" but I detect everything and anything, even places just off the road in the middle of nowhere. you never know..
