First hunt with my new At Pro and wow

[iskirkra]

Got my At Pro this week and played with it in the yard for a couple of evenings and took it out for a hunt today. I went to a place where an old house had been. The house has been gone since about 1940 and is full of junk. I started not to go there because I had hunted it so many times with 2 other detectors but I wanted to see how the At Pro really did in the iron junk. I have to say it is an amazing machine in iron, the audio is full of information. I was running pro mode zero with disc of 35 and running iron audio, I like to hear it all. I dug a couple of interesting things, a pin with whatever was attached gone but will go back and try to find the stone or whatever was attached later. But then I got a sweet signal amid the iron, solid id in the mid 80's surrounded by iron, I dug down and found 2 nails and a really small piece of metal and thought, is that all! Put my pro pointer back in and there was something else about 5 inches. I could not believe the nice looking button staring right at me. I had no idea what kind it was, being in my part of Oklahoma we don't see all that many military buttons. I thought maybe it was a Calvary button but it is a WW1 great seal military button. Not as old as I first thought but a great find for me non the less. This At Pro is going to be the ticket for hunting in iron infested junk. I like it, this is my first Garrett and it is a keeper. Thanks Randy

You gotta love it when U go back to an old site that U have pounded before and find some more goodies with your new detector. Its an old story thats been told over and over about how U have found more targets with your new detector and it is better than your previous machines.. The ATPro has been through Hell with the problems concerning it since it was born. But the detector is slowly like a turtle switching gears and gaining respect.... Nice find........................

Here are a couple of other items I found on Today's hunt. The Tangee Rouge compact is just a little bigger than a quarter and I have no idea what the thing on the left is, just thought it was neat looking. It is heavy and looks like something slid through it on the backside. -- Randy
