I am so happy with this. It came up foil, but was a nice smooth signal so I dug it. Am so glad I did . Photos not the best. Have to invest in a better camera. 3 cent 007.JPG 3 cent 008.JPG

Gold coin is my dream. Not much chance of that. But fun trying. I could do this every day, but have a house and husband to keep. Got to take advantage of this perfect weather!

I always dig foil.:thumbsup:

But, you see, us colonials treat the country's lands as one humongous trash can. We just ball up our foil and let fly, (nobody will EVER know! ;) )

What I mean is that if I go to a park/school etc. and I dug EVERY foil signal, I would essentially be plowing the park. LOL I suspect it's a problem there too, across the pond, but maybe, just maybe not quite so much in the lands you search. Fields/woods/farms. If ya catch my drift. LOL ;)

I know what you mean. And most of the time I would not dig. But, with the AT Pro, it was a nice solid signal. Just felt different. No low high low, just a smooth mid beep. Just got lucky.

Nice! Congrats! I haven't found one yet.

There's a school I detect that is so trashy I have to ground balance before I go on sight. There's no place that doesn't contain some sort of trash/goodies.

Those are tough to get for sure. All of my very small (worn half-real size and smaller) silvers IDed as foil on my detectors. Makes one wonder how many are being passed over still because they sound like can slaw.
