    Talking Hello from the lowcountry of SC

    Hi!

    Been metal detecting since June of this year, had an ace 250 then upgraded to an AT pro. Love my machine, found 15 silvers so far. Also found a large cent, buffalo nickel, and just recently I found a King George III coin.

    My favorite find is the large cent.. its in awful shape but how I found it is more interesting. I found it at a 1910 school, got out it out of the hole and figured it was some token.. I used some water to clean it and I saw "ONE CENT" on the back and jumped for joy..

    Thanks! I love my AT Pro. It's an amazing machine for less than 1000 bucks. The last few spots I've been to actually have little or no research done. I just rolled up to a school that I had no idea when it was built and pulled maybe 10 silvers and the IHP and buffalo nickel from. Turns out it would be built in 1939.
