Hey I am also from Western NY, and I mainly hunt land sites, but every once in a while I try my luck on the beach. I don't search privys, however I do dig bottledumps, and collect old bottles. If you are looking to get out for a hunt, with another detectorist or bottle hunter, give me a message.
 
Im in Tonawanda looking to get out asap.Always up for for somebody to come along. I also have a ATpro and starting to get into the water around here also.Id even be interested in getting out Tues morning seeing how the temp is going to be in the 60's i hear.

I went there to stay at a friends cabin and got pretty wasted. Woke up to a foot of snow so I didn't do any detecting. I live in Niagara Falls but I spend most of my time in Newfane at the moment. This is my 3rd season detecting and I swing a Fisher F2. I'm a relic hunter and I only hunt land for the time being. Don't belong to a detecting club. I'm currently detecting a property in Newfane that has been here since the Civil War. Heading back to Springville in a few weeks to do some drinking and detecting. The familys last name who owns the cabin and lots of other property in Springville is Gentner. Maybe you know them?

Yes, I think the snow can stop any time now I've had about enough, as I'm sure most of us have... Lol... I can't say I know anyone that has any type of Fisher, although I've herd of the Fisher Gold Bug ( I think that's what it was ) a Gold machine ,Actually I thought they only made a gold machine... ( my bad) does your F2 have a concentric coil or a double D ?? And what else could you tell me about it ? How do you like it ? Do you have more than 1 coil for it ? How long have you been hunting this civil war site ? What type of things have you found, what ever you do don't give up on it to soon ... I've been to places that were supposedly "hunted out" but were not... (example: a flying eagle penny) The Gentner's yes I do know a couple of them , the Gentner family that owns the Springville Auction on Main St..... Patty who is married to a good friend of mine by the last name of Jackson, and Elaine....

My fisher F2 has 3 coils, sniper, 8", and 10". It's pretty amazing at allowing me to pick good signals out of iron infested areas. Only been out on this property about 5 times or so and today I found my first silver for the year(64 Rosie). Also found 2 crotal bells today, one with the sniper coil and the other while I was digging in the bottle dump in the woods (seems to be iron). Batteries died in my detector today so I'll be back out in the woods tomorrow digging in the dump for some more goodies. Pretty sure we are talking about the same Gentners then. I was in the round house and it was pretty sweet. My buddys grandmother has this amazing light in her dining room made out of a wagon wheel hanging from the ceiling and I got to hang out with Max the mastiff. As far as no place is ever hunted out, you are correct. I never give up on a location, but I like to bounce around. I've got a few nice spots that have produced a lot. Gonna be hitting a location I secured near Fort Niagara soon. Looking forward to that one!!

Thanks for the heads up on the BB PP ... When I bought my AT-Pro I also got the Garrett Pro pointer , not sure about either as I got them in Nov./Dec. and haven't had a chance to get out yet but I can say from my experience a pin-pointer saves a ton of time, I have a sun-ray on my minlab it has paid for it self. Just a FYI if you care to try... Over at Caz I'm thinking that creek may have some promise with all the bed rock and as shallow as it gets in the summer ... Ya never know... I'll be trying when I can get out... By chance do you have the smaller 5*8 coil ??
 
Can't afford a 5x8, gonna master the stock one, then I won't need s small one :)

That 5x8 on the pro is awesome in trashed parks I picked out alot more when I slowed down i dont know if it was the changed coil.or slowing down but either way I think it makes a difference in trashed areas
