I’ve been thinking about getting a Garrett Pro series detector for awhile, and found an AT Max today for an excellent price. I have a lot to learn about this machine, but I will say that it finds stuff DEEEEEP!
Took it out between rain storms and worked a playground that I’ve worked heavily the last few weeks. Aside from the two surface find coins, the rest were 6-8 deep, and two coins were below the wood chip mulch, and were in the blue clay below at 9” & 10”. Awesome machine!
The trash is a combination of last evening and today's digs. The most unusual find was this lead egg found about 9”. I thought it might be a meteorite because it weighs 1#-2.6oz., but when I hit it against a grinding wheel, there were no sparks. I’ve been in construction most of my adult life, and never saw a "lead egg" ibefore. Maybe someone here could shed some light on what it might have been used for. It was dug from the lawn in front of the school, so it was probably brought there with the fill dirt used to develop the site nearly 50 years ago.
The landscape spike rang up a so'id 79-80, and was dug at 4” with the Land Ranger Pro. It was straight down, so I was detecting right off the top of the spike.
