    I have had a cheap detector for many years, but I recently purchased a Garrett AT Pro. I have had some very good luck with it this summer. I will try to post some pictures later on.
    Thanks Guys!

    chief5709, that is Awesome! Oxshoedrew, yes I have a few I am really proud of. I found an 1853 seated dime, 2 large cents (1830,1838) and a ton of small things. I have even found a few civil war items. Lots of horse related items, 23 complete horseshoes so far. I have made a few displays of my finds, when I can get my hands on my wife's camera I will post some photos.
    Thanks guys!
