years ago I went with a friend that had an old very old green heavy detector think it was a Garrett, it beeped and he dug a clad coin, I pretty much thought what a waste of time LOL, that was somewhere around late 90s early 2000, fast forward ahead to 2009 my wife which was my girlfriend at the time talked me into moving to OHIO, I purchased a house, the house we purchased was old it was built in 1889, after purchasing that house we started doing research on the area and the house we had purchased mainly the house, which we both pretty much knew because of the age had to have history, went to the historical society for the town we were in, found out the home we purchased that I was restoring was one of the first two houses built in that area and on the street we lived, also found out two bank robbers were arrested in that same house in the 50s, so the treasure fever started, we walked into a small store in the area that sold antiques and various old stuff like coins and things but they also sold new metal detectors and used ones as well, the AT Pro had just came out the gentleman behind the desk convinced me and my wife we needed a metal detector, well needless to say we purchased two metal detectors a brand new ATP for the girlfriend and a used Mine Lab Xterra 705 that came with three coils, being greenhorns to metal detecting I asked the person that sold us the detectors if he would mind teaching us he agreed to come to our house that again was built in 1889 (GEE I wander WHY) LOL, had it not been for the sales persons willingness to come to that house and teach me and my wife most likely it would have ended with two detectors sitting against the wall in our home, when the salesperson came to our house he brought his detector and started showing me how it worked his happened to be an AT pro also, my girlfriend at the time now my wife lost interest in about 20 minutes, and went inside the house the sales person him and I spent about 3 hours in the front yard area, and dug several silver, dimes and quarters and I cannot even tell you how much clad, it was like someone had filled a fertilizer broad caster with coins and broadcast them all over our yard, needless to say I was now hooked and have been ever since, i detected the front and back yards of that house for over 4 years, then we sold it and moved back to Arizona, even though I detected that house for the length of time I did I knew when we left Ohio there was still stuff in that yard, I could literally feel it, that same home is where I found the best find I have ever found and still to this day have not topped that find and most likely never will
