more Gold Darnit! WHAT TO BUY?
« on: March 12, 2012, 10:59:42 pm »
So i went to southwestern WI where my brother bought a house with a GIANT park across the street. I searched for probably 6 hours total... I was hoping for an old coin and gosh darn it, all this gold was in the ground instead!  No old old coins today!  O0  I sold the chain at a pawn shop today for $510, and im keeping the rings.  Im putting the 510 towards possibly an ATPRO, or any other suggestions in that price range?

Wow... that is a bunch of nice digging right there.  8D  Especially the "Darnit" gold.  :-P

You made an incredible return on your investment (Ace 250) with the bracelet on one dig.  <:

Congrats on an exciting 6 hours of hunting.  Love the 10k and 14k rings too.  xo)

Would anyone suggest a ATpro for old old coins?  Iknow they use ATpros on that tv show 'diggers'  On the upside, I cant hunt swimming holes with it

Really sorry no old coins crept under your coil, but, if you sell the rings you can buy some old coins. What a great gold haul. I have seen some great finds on this forum made by the ATPro. Good luck in your hunt for a new detector.

You have found a rich people park with minimal pressure from crazy metal detector hobbyists. You should grow a beard, live in that park, and act completely crazy until you have scoured every inch. You could also hire me to do this for you.

Hit me with an offer.
