.

I like them all, any good stories on any of those finds? Went to the Mass.Treasure Hunting meeting last friday was a good group of people and will be joining before the next meeting. Tips, tricks, and a wealth of knowledge, I'll be mining that resource soon.

Heat has slowed me down a little, weather is going to break soon though. Dropped off some finds to the local Historical Society maybe I can get an in with them. Got a permission lined up in Belmont soon need to sign a waiver for the owner.

Keep Searching, and Happy Hunting Beep

Walked within 10 feet of a 6 point buck, we just kind of looked at each other, I tried to get a pic before he took off, but by the time the phone was unlocked, he was walking away.

I'm always in pro mode zero 2 bars from the top and disc at 0 or 33 the ground around Watertown is full of Iron, bottle caps, and pulltabs. I do love mine! The heat and humidity up here is the only thing holding me back this month.

Just got a new AT Pro and will be out checking this area again. Wish it had come last friday instead of today after 5 pm, next 4 days rain forecasted. It's waterproof but I'm not, oh well.

Could you let me know how the AT Pro is? I am looking for a new detector myself.

Rick624 · Aug 20, 2015

I like it, it's a great machine everywhere except in the Ocean. Get the smaller coil, and rechargeable Batteries, a good pin pointer, a digging tool and your set to go. Only my second machine, and there are more experienced operators than me out there. Join a club in your area get their input, or talk with a dealer in your area, they know the strengths and weaknesses of particular machines for your detecting.

Good Luck and Happy Hunting !!

Rick624 · Aug 21, 2015

Going tonight to the Mass Treasure - Home meeting and joining ! Liked the last meeting and got some great tips! Hope to see some of you There.

Happy Hunting All !!

What a great group and very helpful with centuries of metal detecting knowledge/experience. I won 1st place in 1900 and later coins (1917P Merc dime), and 2nd place in Relics (Cow/Sleigh Bell) My prizes were a 1917 P Walking Liberty, and a 1938P Washington Quarter. I recommend joining if you're in the area, or a club close to you. http://masstreasure.com/
