Had a chance to get out this afternoon for about 1 1/2 hrs, went back to a couple of homes & adjacent curb strip that I hunted when new to detecting and the AT Pro. I went slow and listened for deep and somewhat questionable hi tones, and made some good recoveries... 1915-S Barber Dime, 1936-S Merc Dime, 1907 Indian Head Cent, some wheaties from the 1920's, and a bit of modern coins. Passed up a bunch of zincolns near the surface, and did get a few modern nickels. Thanks for your interest!

Thanks woodbutcher! I've hit about all the curb strips where I live here in Hamilton Montana. Some I am going back over again as I have learned a lot about my AT Pro in the 3 years I've used it. Probably the biggest thing helping me find more good stuff is to know that I don't need to hear a "textbook clean signal" all the time to know when to dig, sometimes good stuff is more of a mixed signal or questionable hi-tone.
 
LS Congrats on the shiny, Ihp and wheats. Those curbstrips seem to pan out for you. I have hit a few here but with marginal success. As far as iffy signals, I dig most and a lot of the time it pays off. Good luck Mark

Exactly! I found a Canadian half that had a momentary high blip in trash, At pro is fun!

Thanks Mark, yep, I do like to detect curb strips, and will be more open this year to digging some sketchy signals to learn even more.

Thanks Metal, I am going to try and find a gold coin this year by digging a few more mid trash signals.

I always say, dig those questionable ones because they will surprise you. Congrats on the barber and the rest.

Thanks Trapper, with my leg and back issues I am hoping to still get out a decent amount this year!
