First trial with Garret AT pro

[Bamadad53]

It's been a few decades since I last went detecting. I just got my new detector for retirement and gave it a try today. I went to, what used to be the local post office but is now a private home. We have t had rain in almost 50 days so digging and finding old pieces was near impossible. My daughter and I did find some pennies, 2 dimes, 2 vintage Weeks Flowers tags, and this very odd wolf piece. If you have any insight to what it may be, I would appreciate it. Hoping for better hunting whenever it rains!

Great finds Bamadad ! The wolf piece reminds me of some boy/cub scout memorabilia. Just guessing! Hope you get some rain soon!!

Hi, we love the AT Pro--congrats on your retirement! Nice finds. The wolf item might've been a chime from a wind chime. I have one that is made of metal birds rather than wolves, and the birds have the same hole at the top for the string. -Lisa & John

tape the coil wire to top of shaft, then run pro zero at NO discrimination, and full sensitivity----hover every hit & dig all hits above 45 until you get good at knowing how foil & slaw hit. pop top is 53 and pulltab is 61---BUT, gold is 53 and a crusty IH can get to low 60's. trime can be mid 60's. bottom line is know the area and what can be there. not all great hits are a solid repeat number. brass buckle with iron tongue____get it?? expect to get great digs at over a foot down. now go get dirty

A fair start with that new machine. We have had very little rain here also{Indiana} Ground is like stone.

Welcome! My husband and I both have the AT Pro and we love them. It hasn't rained here in forever so I understand totally. Anyway, some good finds there. I look forward to seeing many more posts. Good luck and HH!

Good finds for the first time out with the machine..

The "wolf thing" my guess is that it's a vintage Cub Scout neckerchief slide.
The small hole at the top makes me question that, however.

congrats on the find and for the AT Pro. I love mine but have thought about a new and larger coil for deeper finds. If i were retired, I'd be out there detecting a lot more. Congrats on that also. This is an awesome hobby and perfect for the retired person as well as the weekender.
