Hello guys and Gals,
I've been detecting for over 35 years and have binders filled with coins, buttons and tokens. I live in Fl so I go to the beach a lot and also research old sites on land. I've had a Garretts AT-Pro for a few months now but haven't found much with it. I used to have a Technetics 9000 which I loved but it quit on me. I loved the different tones so you don't have to constantly look at the screen with the 9000. The AT-Pro seems like a good machine but when I buried a quarter 8" deep in the yard it wouldn't pick it up.
I started researching and found the E-trac to be the depth machine. It will be here in a few days so I bought one. Did I make a mistake or will I be surprised?
The 9000 on the first dig on the beach found over 400 bronze/copper coins from the 17 - 18 hundreds and 12 silver reales and 7 gold coins 12 " deep. I was hooked there and then. I really like this forum and find a lot of useful info here.
Thanks for any replys,
BillieG
