Had one hour to use that new AT pro

smittyw · Jan 8, 2014

Put together the new At Pro and went to a razed 1920's house location near me. Have wanted to hit this spot for some time.

Lots of junk as expected at a torn down house. Found two copper pennies made after 1958 and one clad dime.

Best find at 4 inches was the bottom part of a Chicago General Pershing American Legion Medal dated 1939. The American Legion insert was missing and of course no ribbon was attatched. Found some of these in good shape on ebay and was able to make the ID that way.

Hope to go back to the site tomorrow and search the same area in hopes of finding the top part of the medal that the top of the ribbon attatches to.

The AT pro in pro zero mode was a big help in trying to decide what to dig.

Hey fellow Florida treasure hunter! Man I think you got yourself an AWESOME site to hunt there! I am from Wisconsin and had tons of places like that to hunt for many years.. From what I hear sites like the one you have are hard to come by in Florida.. especially in my area! I Also use the AT Pro and LOVE the machine!! I bet you find some silver there if you work it over really good.. Good luck and HH!
