so Tuesday evening i head to a park just down the road from me, turned over to the town in 1887, for a quick hunt before it got dark.
after a few minuets i get a deep signal reading 92 at 10 inches on my new AT PRO. having only just got it a few weeks ago im still figuring out what all the new numbers mean and having not seen a 92 so far i thought id dig it.
so i get down to 8 inches and the pin pointer aint picking up anything , another 2 inches still nothing ? , by this point im starting to hear Chinese voices coming from the hole ...lol , another 2 inches go by and there's a squeak from the pin pointer so i dig another 2 inches and it gone ????? "what the @#*% !!!!", so i check the dirt and the pointer sounds off "its out yes".
by this time me right arm felt like i had gone 8 rounds with mike Tyson but there in the dirt was laying a copper thing.
after closer examination i see the date 1831 , my first matron head large cent with the AT PRO !!! , now i know what a 92 is.
it aint in bad shape actually so here is a few pics.
