Well I finally got out to Okinawa on vacation and was able to put in sometime with the AT Pro. I probably put in ten hours or so over two weeks. Would have loved to put more time in, but the kids are at that magical age where everyday has to full of adventure and action.
My daughter really likes the idea of finding money....my son was not bitten by the bug.
Day one - 23k men's gold ring 6.4 grams and some clad. Found old bus token for Europe and some Euro.
Day two - Toe ring, Silver ring, and diamond ear ring. (not real diamond) About passed out when we first found the diamond ear ring. Even though fake, my daughter latched on to it.
Day three - misc buttons, Skull ring, and lots of clad.
I barely scratched any of the beaches we went to, and there is still tons of stuff left. It appears no one is hitting them much. Talked to some locals who said they detected the beaches I was on. They say they hit them hard, but I showed the guys the 25 dollars worth of yen and gold ring I had found and their jaw dropped.
I'm an old Marine so when I detect I am very thorough. he he he
The AT Pro worked fine in the salt water and at 3 bars of sensitivity I was finding most of everything in the water at 6 to 8 inches deep. I worked the unit completely submerged and had no issues. I found out quickly that ground balance was key to water performance.
All in all I found about 60 dollars in Yen and change. Figure the ring is worth about 350, and the other items around 50 dollars in Japan prices. I think I managed to pay for half of my invest in the AT Pro.
I have a tentative job offer for Okinawa, and when I get there I will continue to clean up.
Have not figured out how to post pics yet. How does everyone put hi-res shots here?
