I took my buddy Bill, who has detected with me a hand full of times. We went to my other lake that I take my boat on. He uses my AT Pro, so today I told him to try and just keep going unless you hear something real good, coin wise, because this was his second time in the water. I figured out the first time he went he was banging the coil on the rocks so much he was getting a lot of false signals. So I had been coaching and tried to get him to cherry pick. I asked him which direction he wanted to hunt and I was going to head the other way. I ground balanced the AT Pro for him then I started firing up my Deus, I looked over and seen he was starting to scoop something. I was thinking, "man that was fast I hope he has a good target" I went over and said, " did you get a coin number? He said " yeah it says 80. I checked half assed and I seen 91 on my Deus. "It's a penny", I said "better dig that one". I then turned and started to head the other way. I heard him say "Brad, I think I found my first good find" . I turned around And he was a few steps away from me, but I could see that tell tale "gray of silver in the lake look". I told him that's silver Bill, what kind is it? He said I don't know. When he handed it to me and I looked I couldn't believe I was looking at a Seated, I got so excited I was yelling "Bill it's a Seated, it's a Seated!" He didn't even know what that was. We were high fiving and the whole time he thought I was just messing with him, lol. I had to explain to him that in the three years Iv'e been doing this that I had only found four coins that were Seated. I'm so happy he found it and it looks great, nice detail. Later on I found a 1952 licence plate and a cool flower tag, wait until you see my flower tag.
