Hello All....
New member to the forums here....
Been using my trusty AT Pro for 3 years now, here in Michigan. Absolutely love the AT PRO!
Mostly going to the beach and pic-nicking areas at the local state park (SUPER trashy) that allows metal detecting (not all of them around here do). But also hitting the smaller local parks, baseball fields, soccer fields, etc.
Have found at least a couple hundred coins, but nothing older than a 1937 penny. Still looking for all those rings everyone else is finding, but only a couple cheapie/kids rings so far....
Hehehe and a thermos. Someone a actually buried a full size (about 12" tall) thermos in the sand at the beach, down about 16 inches or so.
Just picked up a brand new AT GOLD the other day.
Got what I consider a GREAT deal on it. New in the box, for $540..... that's cheaper than a new AT Pro! Verified with Garrett when it was made and that it registered fine as brand new with them...YAY!!
Have all the coils (5 x 8 DD, 8.5 x 11 DD, 6.5 x 9 Conc., and the 9 x 12 Conc.) except the 4.5" super sniper. So far, I prefer the Double D coils over the concentric coils. The soil around here is heavily mineralized, so the Double D's tend to penetrate it a bit better, and because of all the trashy areas they separate the targets a bit better as well. Although I do think the concentric coils target ID just a hair more accurately.
I think I have the coin hunting down......now have to get that jewelry hunting down, so I can pay for all this stuff! Heheh.
Been reading the hundreds of posts on this site and have already learned a couple new tricks to help along the way...thanks!
