[shawn]

Had my Atpro since there release had some back issues and haven't MD in months.I brought it to ClearWater Fl. work great.I've been reading and watching all the great finds.Anyway I have this site that I have pulled War of 1812 and earlier stuff out of.This site have's a ton of iron in it the area is about 30yrdsx20yrds and I mean alot . Anyway I have 15 metal detectors I own (High end and custom made) Well this site is one of my testing grounds for all new comers it's been
hunted hard and the last few time out there was nothing to be had.Got a 5x8 coil for Atpro and ran some test at home with the iron audio on,. Disc 35,Sen Max,
Pro mode.That site open up like i could NOT BELIEVE! Here is the list: triple gilt flat button,a large coat button,bronze nail,silver spoon part,silver piece of some thing,1860 half dime,a weird brass chain piece,a 15 cent token(H.I.GRAVES Commissary Spirit Ville Miss,two 1880 Indian heads 1893 H.D,1900 H.D.,1899 V Nickle,1943 (S) G.W.Nickle.camp lead,and some copper ext;.I think if I drop to 19 on the Disc it might open up some more great finds.(Pro mode,Sen-max,iron audio on,35 Disc)

AT-Pro and 5X8. Heap good medicine!.Like to run across a cheap used one just to try out as I've been retreating back to concentric coils. 4.5 sniper coil is another good one.My favorite!

You might suffer from information overload after awhile but try running with ZERO discrim and Iron Audio OFF. You will hear everything. Low, Medium and High tones. Go SLOW and let your coil glide across the grass or ground if you can. Cnvas the area from different directions also. LOW AND SLOOOOOOW. You will be amazed at what you find that's still there.

Sorry for repeating this so many times, but I've redone ground I did at 40 discrim, then 20 discrim and the area STILL gave up old coins at zero discrim.
