AT Pro :garrett: A Little Misty Rain :detecting:

[tabman]

I decided bring out the AT Pro this morning because it was misting rain. I didn't find much, I spent most of my time going back over some areas that I've hit pretty hard. Not much left there, so I moved down to another site to finish out the morning hunt and found a nice 1937 Mercury Dime. I was using the Pro Zero Mode with full sensitivity and had the larger stock coil attached. This is the first time that I have ever used the larger coil and found it to be a little too nose heavy for my liking, so I'm going to sell it and go back to using the 5 x 8 coil. I works pretty good for me. I also found several wheat pennies (1925, 1941, 1942, 1947, 1935, 1937), a bunch clad coins, and a 1901 Indian Head Penny that I didn't know that I had until I got home. I thought it was wheat penny until cleaned it good.

Thanks. You're right, the depth on 5 x 8 coil is very good. It works better in trashy areas, it pinpoints better and a heck of a lot more fun to swing than the stock coil.

I just got my at pro a month ago and got the 5x8 coil a few days ago.If what everybody says about the 5x8 is true i may never use the stock coil again.I intend to try out the 5x8 on monday.And congrats on your great finds.

Congrats on your finds tabman. it's cool that rain can't stop you if you don't want it to. Good hunt.

Thanks. A good patina sure helps to preserve old copper coins. The best IH that found was nearly on top of the ground in the woods. Coins don't sink much in the woods.

Thanks. You won't be disappointed with how well the 5 x 8 it preforms. Work the grassy areas next to sidewalks and backs of curbs with it real slow. Especially in areas where people park their cars on the street and open their car doors onto the grassy area. Lots of rings and coins are there to be found.

Thanks. Since I don't do any water detecting with the AT Pro it nice to find that it's water proof feature is worth while.

Not many people are out when it's misting rain. That could open up some new areas to detect on rainy days.

So that's your secret, eh? We'll be giving that a try! Those are some nice keepers - the coins, that is...

My Genie really works. Seriously. All I have to do is remember to give her a rub before heading out to do some detecting.

The proof is in the pudding.

Nice IH & Merc! You could make a fortune renting out that genie, I bet. I know I'd pay for a rub! LOL

Hmmmmm, tempting, but I hate losing any depth at all. Yes, the big coil is heavier but I think that I'm used to it now. But still.....it is tempting......

Nice finds on the IH and the mercury dime, tabman. I bought the stock coil with my At/Pro and later bought the 5 X 8 coil and the sniper coil. When I first started using the 5 X 8 coil, I didn't like it. When my At/Pro was sent back to Garrett, they said send all the coils and the 5 x 8 was defective. Now it's great and I like it but still like the stock coil, also. Hardly use the sniper coil, but there is a place by the wall at the river I've been wanting to check out and maybe the sniper will pull it's weight. Good luck with selling the stock coil. The only IH I've ever found was in my own yard and it's a 1901, also.
