Hello everyone. I'm Dave from Iowa. I've been detecting off and on for about 7 years but more this last summer I think than all previous years combined. I'm using a Garrett ATP that I got new in the spring . I have yet to dig my first silver coin but this year has been a first for Wheaties, I've found 6 of them. I've also found a silver ring and a WW2 aviation wings this year using my old ACE 350. Happy to come aboard
Hello Dave and welcome from Wisconsin! Good news is that if you are finding wheaties you are in the right area for silvers as well. Keep looking, you will find that silver eventually. Doing research and thinking outside the box helps a lot too.

I had an ace 350 as well. Spent many happy hours finding lots with that machine. Sounds like your ATP is treating you well. Welcome to the group... and you'll nail a silver very soon!
