New AT PRO user

[NWARKHUNTER]

Hi all,

I have had my new AT PRO for a couple weeks now (new to me, anyway). I have found a handful of wheat pennies and a nice 1906 indian head in my yard along with about 10,000 lbs of trash so far. I have also been detecting along the river here where the floaters park and have come home with a few dollars of modern coins so far. I feel like I am starting to get the hang of things! The biggest problem here in NW Arkansas is the dirt is like concrete! I did find an interesting little knife yesterday in the sandbar at about 10". I don't think it is terribly old, but its interesting. Anybody have any idea when these were made?

Welcome to TN!
The AT Pro is an excellent detector! You will have a great time with it.
I'm not sure the age of the knife but cool find! It does look like it's been lost
for awhile.
Best of luck!

Going on two months with mine, fun as can be. Also tons of trash but also some surprises along the way.

If your detecting a river where people tube you will find gold and silver jewelry...hunt the high traffic areas and places where they gang up...good luck and cool knife find...looks old to me.

Welcome! Keep digging and learning the machine. I would say without a doubt the ATPro is by far the best machine I have dug 10,000 lbs of trash. All kidding aside this machine has brought me some of my best finds to date. Furthermore it pulled those finds in areas I hit hard with my other dectectors. Enjoy!

Thanks all. I will keep at it for sure. We have a couple of pre 1900 log cabins (whats left of them) on our property that I need to get out and check, of course the river, and right on the edge of our place the remains of an old grist mill, so I have enough stuff to keep me busy for a while I think. Keeping my fingers crossed for some cool finds!
