You won't find anything with the AT Pro!! Send me the locations of your swimming holes so I can clean out the junk for you!! And if you buy that I've got a real nice bridge for sale!!
Got up REAL early this morning and after the usual fast food despicable breakfast, I headed for a lake to see what had been left for me or had been missed by others. The targets were few but it was a great morning and it was peaceful for a while at least. I hunted for about 3 1/2 hours before it started to get a little too crowded for my taste and the detecting gods had given me a few coins and a nice little silver cross and chain. So, I packed up my gear and was walking along the shoreline back to my vehicle when I heard a guy in the water saying he had lost his sunglasses. I stopped and offered to help look for them. So, I got the ATP rigged up again and started wading out. I got a little above knee deep and got a nice med. tone and scooped up a nice 14K 6.6 gram gold wedding band labeled "Benchmark Comfort Fit 14k"!! Sweet!! So, I pouched it and took 3-4 more steps, another nice med. tone, scooped it and out comes a real nice 16 gram tungsten wedding band!! Un-freakin' believable!! Over 3 hours wading back and forth with little to show and in 5 minutes, 2 nice rings. Pouched the tungsten ring and kept looking for the guys sunglasses for another 30 mins. and never found them. I told him he should come back tomorrow real early before anyone gets there and he should be able to see them on the bottom.
Now the bad news, came home and there was my wife in the kitchen soaking up water with towels. Our 25 yr. old dishwasher bit the dust and spewed water all over the kitchen. $750 replacement will be installed next week. Oh what the heck....I got GOLD!!!


Here's the days take!!

Happy 4th everybody!!
 
Wow that's a nice story and some great finds you can truly say thank God for sunglasses.
Think I'd go back and hit that area some more.
 
That guy might b coming back early in the morning with a detector if he saw your finds. Ive had days like u had today only in my dreams. ill buy that bridge if u tell me what lake your hunting. Knee deep in gold I love it. If I was that guy who lost the glasses and I saw u finding jewelry while hunting for my glasses , I think I would go buy another pair of glasses:rofl:
 
Conrats on the great finds!!! Great story too. It reminds me of many times i have been gone out in the water and in the first 10 min. scored a nice gold ring...(thinking...man, this is gonna be a great day of detecting)....then for the next 3 hours..find nothing but junk....lol thats the way it go's.
 
Nice finds... congrats!!

From the land of the Bluenose.....good swish and glad to here no leaks there at least. taking my Pro for it's first swim this evening!
 
No worries Leslie, should do just fine!! Those wretched bottlecaps will drive you nuts in the water, but since you've been using a MK II, you're probably used to them. I switched to the 6 x 9 for the water and it's done an admirable job so far, no bottle caps for this old dog!!
 
Ahhh, but he didn't!!! I'm quick to the pouch with my finds and when anybody asks...just a few coins and a bunch of pulltabs!!
