This is my second AT Pro and I totally forgot how deep it is using the small 5 x 8 inch DD search coil. I was nailing 7 and 8 inch deep wheat pennies with it. Some of the deep ones sounded like they were near the surface they rang out so loud and clear.
I was working a permission today (a early forties home) when the man next door yelled out and asked if I was finding anything. I said not much, how about letting me detect your front yard. He was a little hesitant, so whipped out a couple of key chain lights and handed them to him. I was in like Flint.
Right off the bat I got a super loud audio response and a VDI #91 on the screen, a half dollar reading. I figured it was going to be a brass fitting or smashed aluminum can. Nope, it was 1943 Walking Liberty about 1 inch deep.
Anyway, a guy from across the street yelled out and asked if I found anything. I said yeah, come take a look. I showed him my Walker and talked with him for awhile. I said why don't you let me see what I can find in your yard? He said OK, so I reached in my pocket a pull out a couple of key chains lights and handed them to him. He really like them. I told him that I probably won't be able to get to his yard today and would have to come back at another date. He said anytime would be fine.
The guy's yard that I was detecting came back out and said that could detect his backyard If I wanted to. I headed straight to the old clothesline posts that were still standing and found a sterling ring and few more wheat pennies. I was wore out and my knee was acting up, so I called it a day. As I was leaving the owner said that he probably could get me permission to detect the yard next door. He said he'd let me know when he saw me back out there.
I made one last run between the curb and sidewalk where my SUV was parked and found a sterling bracelet and a huge 15 to 20 coin spill (mostly quarters and dimes. Too bad they weren't silver coins. LOL
