We had a typical Spring Day for the first day of March. It was 62 degrees today. So after church I could not resist spending the better part of the afternoon at a couple of local school grounds "coin hunting"!
Normally, I use the Tesoro Compadre (which I took with me and left in the truck in case I couldn't handle the AT Pro). My biggest issue is getting the AT Pro properly ground balanced where it doesn't constantly make noise unless I have a decent target sound. I managed to get it ground balanced good enough and had it in Pro/Coins with all iron eliminated. It worked great today -- for me anyway. I found lots of coins -- biggest QUARTER DAY in a long time. Hardly found any junk. I did find a large hair barrette -- too bad I have short hair now!
It was a LONG day for me but amazingly I didn't get all that tired -- I guess because I was actually having fun with the AT Pro. I usually can't make it work right -- always making a lot of noise. Today I had it set just right where it acted pretty much like the Compadre (only making noise when it is over a target).
Thanks For Looking! Good Luck and Happy Hunting!
