    AT Pro arrived today. Very good news after first tests.

    Yesterday, I finished watching the AT Pro tutorial in Youtube, just to help me sink in to the AT Pro's features. Today, it arrived and I fully assembled it and did some air testing. Okay, the good news: I was curious about how it would read coins on their sides. Well, I am now very happy I...

    Silver, and more silver. It ain't gold.:tongue:

    Here's the .925 silver bracelet I found two Sundays ago. I found the 1895 1 Korona .835 silver coin from Hungary today after work before it got dark in the woods just above the city. When I feel like there's something out there, I go out and I do find something. :thumbup:

    ACE 250 signal jumping to iron.

    I couldn't find any related post so: I have an ACE 250 with an original coil, using rechargeables or normal batteries, and sensitivity two notches off maximum. Question: Why do many targets show off at a higher (not iron) range and then on the next sways go down to iron? Power supply is okay...

    Air testing coins with Ace 250 while sick at home.

    Here are my readings: Euro coins: 1 cent, 2 cents, and 5 cents, all iron. 10, 20, and 50 cents, between 1c and 10c. 2 euro at 1c but between 1c and 10c on side. 10 Italian lire aluminum at 10c. 5 Italian lire aluminum between 1c and 10c. 200 Italian lire at 1c. 1$ Canada loonie at pull tab but...

    Question: 1945-1965. How well did the military MD's perform in those post WWII years?

    We had British and American troops here in those years, de-mining the territory. Were those metal detectors capable of finding the smaller stuff like coins or rings? Did they only detect bigger things like mines or bombs? Just wondering, since all the stuff I've found is very small. There's one...

    Today's warm silver hunt.:cam:

    Along with a 5 lire and a 10 lire coin from the 50's, I also found this 5 German Mark coin (1951 J Hamburg mint) in excellent condition, .625 Ag. The weather was great. I now noticed the coin photos are turned... but since I'm having trouble with my netbook, they'll stay that way.

    Virgin Mary silver charm and thundershower.:surrender:

    Got myself some worthless coins, a few empty war cartridges, and a 1830 silver (tested) Virgin Mary charm with writing in French, in the middle of the woods. Two minutes after finding it, the sky got dark, thunder rumbled overhead, and I just made it back in time to my truck before the downpour...

    Just some of the junk I've found in the fields and woods.:please:

    2 hellers and a star. (no pics)

    I was out detecting today, day off from work. Plucked out 2 Austrian coins, one metre apart in the woods.Two 2 Heller coins from 1908 and 1912. I also found a small metal communist red star, probably from a Partizan uniform. The rest were the usual fired cartridges and tons of garbage... :-( My...

    Signals jumping and videos.

    I was just evaluating whether to buy an E-trac or At-pro. I looked at some of the videos and noticed that the signals seem to jump around alot, giving different readings. The Ace 250 videos were okay, but they didn't say anything about the two different noises the pinpointer makes when on...

    Diggers, and first Roman coin! :clapping:

    I've been watching Diggers this Summer. Neat to watch them go at it. With the cooler weather sweeping through, I managed to go detecting for about an hour yesterday, Sunday, and running back and forth between my favourite field and my truck during sudden downpours, I dug up my first hammered...

    Lucky, lucky, lucky, no, it ain't gold, it's bronze.:rolleyes:

    I went detecting Saturday morning, with a slight breeze, cooler temperatures, humid ground, and my ACE 250. Hit two fields and found this great big bronze coin. It seems like all the goodies are in the areas where the grass is taller and thicker. I'm gonna go through the same fields next week...

    Does your Ace 250/150/350 pinch your nerve?

    Is it just me? Just askin'. Whenever I go md-ing out in the fields for a long time, I end up with a very sore left ankle. Just under the ankle bone on the left side, like tendinitis or a pinched nerve. It then hurts even more during the night time. I smothered the usual gel ointment, which does...

    Hunting Meteorites?

    I just saw a show about guys hunting for meteorites in open fields in central USA. They used a vehicle with what looked like multiple coils and a single reader that detected variations in the ground. Once they got a signal, they got out and searched with metal detectors and then they dug up some...

    Does anyone take out sand from under water?

    I'm keeping an eye out on an ancient dock made from huge cut rocks, which is now under sea level. I'm planning on moving away the stones and small boulders alongside it. Then I'll dig up the remaining gravel and dirt, and put it in a pail to check out on the shore. The dock is about 12 yards...

    Out after work, one coin, then it broke...:cry:

    It had to happen sooner or later... It happens to everyone... I broke the arm bracket... I had just pulled a coin dated 1862, then craaaaack... I glued it back together with a strong glue for plastic, but I don't think it'll hold. I also bought a piece of PVC conduit, which I'm going to cut to...

    1.5 hours after work, new area. (no woodticks):detecting:

    Got a silver coin, and a fancy trumpet mouthpiece. I don't know if the ring is gold, but it's heavy, and it ain't lead.

    Coca-Cola bottle worth saving.

    Today I found a Coke bottle (not old) that I brought home and am saving because it was made here in Trieste. The local Coke bottler has long since closed and this bottle is what I have now as a souvenir of the plant. Found it in the woods. Also found 2 boy scout medals from 1989 and 1990. I now...
