Hi All , today I found my oldest coin to date . An 1864 IH . Also dug a 1902 IH , 1940 wheat and another toy lead soldier. The AT-Pro really impresses me. I have the 5x8DD coil on it and it really does a great job separating targets . The Pro was giving an iron signal/high chirp , I figured I'd dig it . There was a nail about 2 inches down , stuck the propointer in the hole after I removed the nail. Got another signal , waved the coil over the hole got a high tone . Started to excavate ,and out popped the 1864 IH. I'm not sure if it's a key date , but , It's the year the mint changed the metal composition. Maybe Semi-Key. Anyway , photos below.

Congrats on your new oldest! I believe the 1864 was one year after the "fatty". The at pro with the 5x8 coil in a iron infested environment is tough to beat. It does VERY well. HH
