Short Hunt-"WOW" Again!

[RLOH]

I watched the At Pro videos and first reports and had a feeling that this detector would be special. I had the same story as most of the others with a falsing issue, but I have found the AT to be worth the wait. I am primarily a coin hunter and the places I find coins are loaded with rusty iron and modern trash. I thought I had these spots pretty well cleaned out with the many Explorers and newer lightening fast detectors I have used. I knew that several of these spots still had older coins hiding in the iron, but after digging many holes, only to come up with a rusty nail from 9 to 10 inches deep, I steered clear of these spots. The iron audio of the AT Pro is the best of any detector I have ever used, period. You really do not need a meter. My first trip with the AT was last week to the county fairgrounds and I came away impressed. I had to wait until this morning to try the AT a second time. Today I went to a new park that sits directly on top of a school that was in use from 1880 to 1950. The pull tabs, bottle caps, and slaw is exactly like in Bill S's video. Last year I did very well in the trashy section of this park with a Omega 8000 and DFX. I guess I found a dozen Indians and three V nickles in a small area. I had a feeling that the junk and iron were hiding more and I could not wait the try the AT Pro in this spot. Today I had a rain free, but cold morning so I drove the half hour to detect. As soon as I started detecting, it started misting. It was already muddy from the last snow melt and it was miserable hunting. I found a deeper(6 inches) zinc as I made my way to the spot. I was somewhat discouraged as I finished up two long passes.I have found that mid tone readings in the low 60 are almost always tabs. I finally got a softer 66 to 67 repeatable signal. I was hunting with the iron disc at 30, zero mode, one bar from max sensitivity. I checked iron audio and it got a clear signal. I dug to about 7 inches and found an IH. I didn't check the date and kept hunting. I found a Canadian nickle and a bent, on edge, deep(8 inches) copper memorial. On the next pass, I got a signal that sounded like two targets close together. I checked it in iron audio and both signals were still crisp and clear. I dug to about 6 inches and found an old wadded up gum wrapper. I knew there would be another target close and I dug another couple of inches deeper. I found the target in the side of the hole and knew it was a nickle. Out pops a V nickel. It was raining at this point and I was cold so I left. When I got home I cleaned the few coins I had found and was amazed. The Indian was the oldest coin I have ever found in this park. It was a 1865. The nickel was a 1902. I am impressed with this detector! Two short hunts in well hunted public spots and the majority of the coins I have found are KEEPERS. I have about 6 hours on this detector and it might be one of the simplelest detectors I have ever used. R.L.

The AT Pro meets and beats metal detectors costing twice as much in many instances when it comes to depth, target separation etc...... Hope you have an excellent season

That's the good stories we like to hear! No place is truly hunted out with a AT Pro in hand!

From end 2010 that I have purchased ATPRO, it is beautifully I am fortunate because no it has problems of construction I have found a lot of coins in the beach Liguria Loano and proximities, a ring gold and other silver and 2 bronze old men
Now is returned to Turin nord/west italy, I/you/they have been in the zone where I have been chasing for 15/20 years with other MD whits, minelab, c-brooms, French XP, however still found coins and other ancient objects
ATPRO is great and I is really happy, I have been changing the batteries for 10 days, little consumption also to use at the most it some sensibility, valid also with salt and mineralized ground
I can say well only, hoping that it is not spoiled for my cause
you greet to the readers of the forum

Good to hear from you my friend. I still have those photos you sent me in December. You sure have built up an outstanding collection of artifacts throughout your life. You should write an article for Garrett with pictures. I bet that they would be pleased to see such a magnificent collection. http://www.garrett.com/hobbysite/hbby_favorite_find.aspx

For anyone not familiar with Algerio's posts, he started asking some information back in December of last year about Garrett products. It looks like he has purchased an AT Pro and again, added a nice Roman Coin to wonderful collection.

Below are some of his magnificent finds, from some photos he sent me.
