10th hunt with AT Pro and dug silver
Went to a bottlecap infested park this morning in a section of town built in the late 1800's. Lots of 1920's-1940's small houses in the area that are still standing, with many new 2 story homes being built all around them.
The park was aquired by the city in 1949 but lost some ground when a major freeways expansion cut through some of the park. A few of the natural shallow gulleys still are in the park area, with some fill dirt, and some of the trees are large enough to provide nice shade. Some you can even see the roots where NO fill has been dropped at the base.
I took the AT Pro to a small area where I had searched with my M6 and 3 different size coils trying to get every signal from a 220 foot section. I had gridded the area at least 3 times each, with the small, the medium and then the large coil. There still was some deep rusty bottlecaps, some clad coins, 2 wheat cents and a Barber quarter, that was just out of range of the other detector.
The AT Pro still amazes me with the depth it sees coins next to trash signals. I have been digging deeper coins within a few inches of shallower trash targets and it will read all the targets very precisely. Been going to areas I had covered with my other detectors and have been digging coins that they missed.........either that............or I just didn't get my coil over the exact spot where the coins were at.
I changed batteries before todays search, because of 1 bar of battery life left. From what I have read on forums, I could have used it some more, but I wanted a fresh set in for the 10th hunt.
I have a total of 32 hours of searching use on the AT Pro. ....I'm still learning it.
