WHERE IS THE SILVER????

[kkbroker]

My AT Pro is 3 weeks out of the box. I have spent these three weeks in my back yard of my 1890's home digging about every signal I get...emptied two 5 gallon buckets of junk to prove it. I'm not totally disappointed with the results but when you find coins ranging from 1904-2006 something tells me that there has to be some silver out there. I did find one 1947 Walking Liberty Half in great shape. An old Polmolive Soap Token and some of the nickels dating in the 50's but all dimes and quarters have been post 1964. It's like I can pretty much guarantee that I can find a penny within 10-15 minutes every time.

So here are the questions...I am using Pro Zero mode and listening for any high tones be them loud or dim and then try to hone in on them. There is so much "chatter" from eveything else that seems to pop up in my yard and I occasionally see the meter hit 91-95 but it's hard to zero in on that target or get the MD to repeat it. Should I be using a different setting? Should I continue to clear the junk so the other stuff will eventially be all that is left? Thanks in advance for any words wof wisdom.

Deepending on your soil, try dialing the sensitivity down one or two notches. True you wont get as deep but I've found that with alot of junk around you can hone in a little better. Also when using the pinpointer on AT Pro, make the sensitivity all the way down to its lowest point. Hope this helps uncover some silver. Let us know. HH

When I'm hunting many older yards I'll use my small coil cause a big one is too much for some spots. I'm sure they make a small coil for the AT Pro. At times I'll even turn my receive gain way down on my V3i cause when it's really trashy cause too much just creates noise when you have a lot of different metal to contend with.

There more sliver there some where, keep swing and digging you will find it. Good Luck.

Some of the best looking sights hold no silver. Congrats on them nice finds!

Looks good to me for 3 weeks. I agree with Mike, good sites do not always produce silver. And you can't complain with a '47 Walking Liberty half.
