At Pro Bangs Hard On Another Silver Coin And An Old Soccer Medallion:jump:

[John-Edmonton]

Headed out after work for a couple of hours to a couple of spots which have given up a little. And go figure, they did give up a little again.......

Here's my favorite find tonite. A soccer medallion, with the letterrs "CNRA" 1931 stamped on the back of it. I believe it stands for "CALIFORNIA NATIONAL REFEREE ASSOCIATION" although I can't really confirm it.

Below are the best from tonite.

Thats a cool medallion. I remember when U got the check for all that gold a few months back. I bet u could buy yourself a new truck with all the silver youve found. But your probly happy driving some older vehicle. I bet if Santa Clause asked u what do u want for Christmas little John, U would say "new batteries for my detector and maybe some bullets for my rifle, thats all"

 

[John-Edmonton]

It doesn't take much to get me excited. Batteries would make a fine gift!

Yes I am....I keep threatening to switch back to the stock "DD" coil, but I really like the larger coil, especially for coin and ring hunting.

 

[Frank in NH]

John i have all four coils but have not tried my big one yet. Seeing you are having great success with yours i will give it a try on my next ballfield or soccer field. It looks like you are finding rings with no problem. Love all your posts!

 

[John-Edmonton]

Please do. I am very curious as to how it performs with you in your type of soil. Good luck!

John, nice finds! Why do you prefer the big coil over the DD?

 

[John-Edmonton]

It covers a large area more quickly, simply due to it's larger size then the "DD"stock coil and for targets in the top 3-4 inches, I prefer to pinpoint off the inner toe of the coil. I find it much faster, and using the white dot on the inner coil is almost like using a pin-pointer in itself.

Could be something like the Canadian National Rugby Association???

Just a guess.....

nice find

That thought crossed my mind too. But the ball in the medallion is round, unlike a football shaped one in rugby, and it was found in an old soccer field. Of course, it could be any of these too

John with the finds that you are getting and as a matter of fact with the finds all are making here on this forum it is proving that the AT Pro is one heck of a good all around detector. Thanks for fine posts. HH.....Z

Thanks.....when set up properly, and used by someone who has put some time on it, it is a wonderfully designed piece of electronic equipment.
