    Merry Christmas AT bros and sisters!

    ...and a happy and blessed new year! I hope to get out more often this year! I made it out like 5 times in '13! I'm set for a decent '14 though-just snagged a two box and a gold machine! ATX is on the hit list next!! You can figure out my goals. What are yours? Randy

    I just couldn't resist...

    I've dreamed of the goldfields for years now and been reading about it all this time. One detector seemed to come up here and there as 'the one they shouldn't have quit making'. Well because of that, and my weakness for things hard to get, I finally got my hands on a Diablo uMax! This will be...

    Got a great accessory for my AT Pro!

    I'm pretty excited about this new toy! One of the biggest reasons I bought my AT Pro was because it was waterproof and through word of mouth and research, I keep finding sites on rivers and creeks that need detecting. My problem has been one of ACCESS! Here in Texas almost all land is private...

    1898 Dime from amongst the heavy trash!

    Yesterday I hunted an area that has had activity since the late 1800's. Some friends had researched and received permission to hunt the site, which had a hotel and bath houses on it from the late 1800's through around 1920's. The structures are long gone and the grounds have been used as...

    I'm swimming in spooky old houses!

    Today I got access to three old houses! By this weekend that number will be going up! Talk about drinking from a firehose! I'm gonna need Scooby to help me sniff out the goodies... In the meantime, I know the AT is perfectly suited for the job! Awesome separation combined with sweeps with a...

    Glad to be swingin' an AT right now!

    I suddenly have a lot of competition I'm my area! Everybody must've run right out and bought detectors when gold went up because places are CLEEEN! Well, ALMOST. My good finds are pretty few right now since I've only been out a few times but I've noticed something-they're deep! I found a thin...

    Fun morning at Garrett-as always! :bouncy:

    Well I had some time so I took the AT in for an upgrade. I hadn't been experiencing the falsing as bad as some folks had mentioned, but it did happen sometimes, plus I always like checking out the museum and stuff. So while the AT was getting it's spa treatment, I got to tour the facility...

    Somebody say something about depth with the AT?

    SO. I was hunting a couple weeks ago at a site that I've been working on for months. Now this site should have almost NO metal of any kind except that which I'm seeking and maybe the occaisional stray bullet from hunters. I had been running the TF-900 and had a couple spots where I got signals...

    Freshwater hunt and observations with AT

    I finally got some alone time with my AT Pro!! I spent an afternoon at a local lake that has been frustrating me for a couple years now. The reason this lake is frustrating is that it has yielded 2 gold rings from the same beach, and I can't manage to find much else since then. THAT compounded...

    Relic finds from the weekend-need ID help!

    I went cache hunting at a site where a local feud went down in the 1870's. A lot of people got dead and nobody knows what happened to any of the gold that was hidden by the one of the big 'players' in that conflict. Well, there is a lot of history in that particular area, so I always like to...

    New Year resolution...one of 'em!

    I need to do more local research! I'd like to get more places to detect where I stand a chance of finding old coins...who wouldn't, right? This last year I was so busy running off to the woods in seach of caches that I let my local stuff slide. The caches are still out there but I'm sitting here...

    Tot lot cruise with AT Pro..

    Well, I've been so tied up lately that I was just ITCHIN' to get out and swing the detector a bit. Naturally my window of opportunity was at night and when the temps were in the 30's..lol! You take what you get I guess, so I headed out to a tot lot that I know gets hit somewhat frequently, but I...

    A short hunt at an old house with the AT..

    My plans fell through yesterday so I decided to get out to an old house I've been hitting off and on for about a year. The place has been picked over by many detectorists, but sometimes still yeilds a surprise or two. The iron at this place is incredible but I think the AT is right at home here...

    Anybody seen this ID with the AT PRO?

    I've had this come up several times with my machine-always in association with big iron. The ID will reach 99 but then on another swing display 'AO'. I called Garrett and they tell me this isn't a problem, but is a reading that indicates the ID is not within the designated range set for target...

    AT Pro at an old homesite

    Today I finally had enough time to get out for a few hours of quality time with the AT! I went to an old homesite that has been picked over waay before I ever got there, but it still gives up a surprise or two. Previous finds were an 1899 Indian penny, an Interurban Railway token, and a bunch of...

    Tot lot report for the AT

    I went out to a tot lot last night for about an hour for some easier digging and varied targets with the intention of getting video. Well, I have more work to do on a night setup for the video but here are some notes. I ran in STD mode, coins, with sensitivity set at 4. Unfortunately this lot...

    Ok, video FAIL.. But I do have an AT report!

    Well, trying to get video AND hunt with no tripod while using a Flip camera...yeah, can you say FAIL? I do have one video my buddy took of one target I recovered which doesn't show a heck of a lot! I'll post it anyway because it's one more than is out there right now. Ok, first notes...

    LAST Air test vid of the AT Pro

    Ok, the last one! I wanted to maximize my distance results so I tried to standardize where the targets hit in the detection field. I also wanted to see if I could duplicate John's results with the Euro...didn't happen! NO more air tests.. I'm off to the great wide open tomorrow. Might even get...

    I put an AT Pro air test video on youtube!!

    OK, I'll warn you up front that the audio quality sucks, and probably the video will put you to sleep! Anyway, my first youtube video and I hope y'all find it helpful. I'm headed out Sunday to a much coveted metal detecting locale here in north Texas and I'll get more video. Both me and my...
