Old home pays off

Didn't get to go on a water hunt today. Maybe that was a good thing.

I was invited to hunt a friends old family home built in 1923. A total front landscape project is being done and the entire front yard has been disced and tilled getting ready for new lawn to be put in. After about 2 hours of hunting, this is what my take was. I noticed the barber and roosevelt dimes read lower than the mercs on my AT Pro. Does anyone know why ??

I hope the AT Pro impresses me as much in the water as it did on land.
 
Wow, that would be a dream outing for me. Congrats!

My yard was built in 1918, I'm tempted to rent a Bobcat just to dig it up... but also for the fun of destroying things with a Bobcat :)

Don't get me wrong.............IT WAS !!! :cheers:

Theres just nothing like finding gold rings in the water for me. :thumbup:
 
My first water hunt was last week. I did well because I was in a good spot, but I could easily get used to water-hunting. Just the pinpointing that was driving me bonkers. Still on land, that was a dream find to be sure. :)

Great hunt!! All coins can be a few #'s difference due to many things. Sometimes even same year coins will ID differently.
 
You're right!! Once you scoop that first gold ring, everything else just doesn't give you a good enough rush anymore. Oh, it's fun and a few old coins are great to find...but they ain't nothin' like scoopin' GOLD!!
Congrats on that nice spread of oldies...now go scoop that GOLD!!!

Looks like a great hunt to me :thumbup:

The AT Pro seems to be doing very well water hunting, I can't wait to get mine in the lake up where my parents live. I hunted an old swimming hole a couple of years ago with a Minelab Sovereign, and I found two silver rings, a 14K gold earring, and a 14K girls ring, but I know that I missed a LOT of targets and my crummy $29 fleabay scoop couldn't dig through a lot of the areas, but my stainless steel diamond head will have no problems penetrating the rocky lake bed :devil:
 
The Merc reads differently because it is so beautiful. The Barber and Roosevelt are butt-ugly by comparison, so Garrett built in a special response for the Merc.
