Newbe to AT pro

[john300]

Hello my name is john and I am from niagara ont canada. First I would like to thank you guys on this form for all your stories and guidance on the AT pro.
Today I went to a school that was around since the late twenties. we sure have a lot of crappy coins modern ones any way and now the Canadian penny is extinct.I did however find some older pennies a 1945 mostly made of copper. I was quite impressed with how well the at pro separated the trashy stuff from the good stuff. Can't wait to get back out. I am sure I will need more help as I detect and learn this machine so again thank you.

Sounds like you are doing well. Found a good spot and found an old coin. I've only found 3 or 4 coins that old and only two silver in nearly 3 months. In the U.S.A. anywhere you find Wheat penneys (1909 to 1956)there is a chance of finding silver (produced until 1944).

The AT Pro is definitely awesome with target separation. The key is a slow sweep speed in trashy areas. I personally use the wiggle method when I know 2 or more targets are inches away from each other. Best machine that I've ever had the privilege of using. Most bang for your buck in my opinion. Keep us posted and all questions are welcomed

I hope you have a great time with that machine. You will see your good finds increase as you put more hours on it and learn it's language.

Welcome, John!
You've got a great machine. If you dig most everything for a little while and concentrate on learning the tones, you can shorten the learning curve. Check out a couple of local history books to get the imagination working on potential sites, and have lots of fun!
