    Welcome from western MA. Gloucester is a beautiful city you're in a great part of the state for detecting, beaches and old homes. Hope you can get that AT Pro, I've seen some great finds posted here by people using the AT Pro. Looking forward to your future finds and feel free to throw up some pictures of some of your better finds so far.

    Hey welcome aboard from western MA. You will find relic hunting very rewarding in quality but less in quantity. You are in a real good area for early silver too.
    Finding relics is in my blood
