Im pretty sure my ATPro is not acting right, I cant get more than 5 inches on coins with the machine.. Auto Ground balance does not seem to work... When I hold the button and pump, the screen goes blank and No sounds comes from the machine.. ALL finds have been between surface and 4-5 inches below... I switched to my BH Platinum with NEL Hunter coil was hitting coins left and right between 4-6 inches, Deepest was a 1944 Merc at 7 inches! Going to contact Garrett about the issue....

Here is the damage!

The star of David was found with the Platinum, the FIRST Target from swinging, when i switched from the ATPro... pretty sure its sterling, even though it has no label or stamp..

Wow! That is a beauty! Congrats! :icon_thumleft:
 

Beautiful coin, Liu. :thumbsup:
 

Nice, were you anywhere near canarsie?
 

GREAT FIND!!! If your ATP want GB and you can't get get good depth you have a problem. Garrett will make it right no doubt.
 

Good score on the seated quarter in great shape also.

That is Awesome.


Congratulations....:occasion14:
 

Beautiful find!
 

thanks all! I updated with a few more pictures of today's finds. 6 1/2 hours this is what it looks like. If the AT pro was not messed up, I have a feeling I would have more...
 

Super find, I hunted old court house site and a 1942 Washington, I was happy and found out a friend went to same place where I found Washington and found seated liberty dime , dang
 

Love hunts line that! Lots of targets. Congrats!
 

Some coils will not ground balance. My Whites V3i and DFX should share the same coils, but the DFX only likes a couple of them.
Depending on the soil and rainfall, there may not be anything deeper than 5" in an area. Where I am things only get deep if there was a mud slide.
 

Very nice indeed.

Maybe sterling on the star?
Do they have a mark for Sterling?

No, no mark on the star, but it came out of the ground looking like that. So it has to be silver... the loop looks like silver as well...
 

Congratulations!!! :occasion14:
