I got up early yesterday and hit the beach. Man it was NICE! However, I wasn't finding anything.

After 2 hours and nothing but pretty scenery, I decided to head to a house that was built in 1890 and demolished 2 weeks ago. Jim gave me a couple of really good pointers in another thread, and I couldn't wait to try it out. Well, after about 15 minutes, I get a solid 82 amongst all this trash. Turns out to be a 1958 Rosie. Cool! Got back to swinging, and I hit another 82, but this time it was a bent, 1917 Merc! I was on cloud 9! Two silver rings last week, and 2 silver dimes this week!! Thank you Jim! It's all starting to make more sense now, and I owe YOU for telling me things to "listen" to, instead of just watching the TDI screen.

Excellent hunt and good job on the 2 silver recoveries. Tone is everything! The vid is nice and the A T Pro I have found to be very accurate, even at good depth, but it is still tone first and the A T has a tone all its own for coins. Once those slight tone variances are learned it becomes a killer coin hunting machine. And you don't have to dig a ton of trash to get the good stuff. Again, good hunt! HH jim tn
 
Great hunting! Did you take a smooth face hammer and flatten that merc back out? I do it all the time with bent clad.:clapping:.Keep it up!
Mud.
 
Tips are handed down, and the ones that listen are the gainers. Real nice job there gruff
 
Excellent recovery on those two silver dimes and looks like the mercury dime had a run in with something. Jim is right about the tones, but I still dig a lot of trash even if it's a high pitched 82 or more. Some pennies were coming in at 81 yesterday and I knew they were pennies by the loud tone. Get all the trash out of the way and find those deeper targets, even tho it's hard to mask a target with the audio of the At/Pro. One thing I noticed when I got my detector back from Garrett is if the iron audio is off, it's on and vice versa. It's not enough reason to send it back with the swim park going to be drained in November and if I want the iron audio off, I just turn it on and if I want it on, I just turn it on. I have had an 04 on the DVI scale and got the right tone and found a coin before so I always defer to the tone.
There was a piece of trash in the hole, but the tone was right on target.
 
Good hunting !! You have to listen to the machine and counselors to achieve success.
Do you know that this piece is that this forms turned up in the middle of the trash?
Greetings and thanks for sharing

I probably waste a lot of time and energy digging trash, but I'm rewarded sometimes.

Same here. Sometimes my little finds pouch is swollen with trash, and feels like it weighs 10lbs. I've always been a glutton for punishment, lol.
 
Most of us I suspect dig a fair amount of trash. Lot of iffy signals end up being trash, but as mentioned, some also turn out to be something good. The A T is awfully good in sniffing out good targets co-located with some kind of trash. Good luck out there! HH jim tn
