After almost 2 months of swinging the Pro I finally struck gold.

Detecting a baseball field this morning as the sun came up, got a repeatable 51-53-51-53. Sounds just like a pull tab,
but I dig it any way cause that's what we do. Bingo at about 4" out pops a women's gold wedding band. A 2.5 gram Gold
Beauty.

Also fund a junk mood ring and $3.59 in clad all in about an hour. Nice way to kick start the week

I was getting tired of waiting for gold. I knew it would come it is just a matter of time.

I have had the Pro for 1.5 months. Not anything I can say bad about the unit. I have 3 other detectors
that cost 3 times as much as the Pro. My go to machine for general park, coin and jewelry hunting is the Pro.
It is a dime and quarter magnet. I was pulling dimes at least 6 inches this morning. This baby does not miss
a dime or a quarter, ever.

The headphone cable is too short, the stand is to narrow and the headphone and coil wire attachments are cheeeeeeeeeeeeeese.
I can live with all of that. That isn't saying something bad about the machine and its ability to find C&J, its is just a fact about the
construction of the unit. Garrett built a great detector with some poor incidental designs. Garret ts should borrow a page from
Whites Electronics in Sweet Home, Oregon and take a giant leap in customer service, they should fix their design flaws for free in my
opinion. That ain't going to happen so I deal with it.

Congrats on your first gold and welcome to the boards. I've been doing this for about 5 years now and still looking for my first.

Any Pics?

I guess I can stop complaining then. I just put a lot of hours into this, finding clad is ok for awhile. I just want to improve my finds

So far in 2011 I have found 5 rings, six mercs, 1 silver pendant a bunch of junk jewelry, 10 hot
Wheels, a box full of pull tabs and about $350.00 in clad. $130.00 clad in July, still got 6 days to go.

Happy Hunting and keep swinging the coil, you will pass over gold eventually if you are putting your self out there.
 
Congratulation's on your first Gold find and Welcome :thumbsup:

X2 on the at pro being a dime and quarter magnet! I had my AT PRO for 3 weeks now and my quarters and dimes count is high..But nickles are low and not sure why..Not to be a bragger but check out my profile stats for totals on coinage so far.

Man, that is a great record. I have &30+- in clad, no silver coins and half a dozen (mostly junk) rings. My AT Pro is on the way and I can't wait.

Ive had mine for a few weeks as well and it seems like it loves the quarters and dimes. Found some I missed in my yard with my ace 250.
