[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3535958, member: 44288"] I tried a Garrett but couldn't get used to the delayed ding when it went over a coin. That was not an AT Pro, it was something else. I have an old Whites XLT. I love it because I have an understanding of the programming and can customize it to the conditions at hand. I can turn off transmit boost and get next to metal playground equipment and snipe old coins. I even have a program for open fields I call BERZERK! It goes deep! I have found wheaties at 12 inches. I have a perfect place to go. It is a historical site on a minor highway, Route 66. People used to throw coins at the site and the guy that took care of it kept hitting the coins with his mower causing damage to cars. He got our club to help him collect them. We gave half to the guy and kept half. Five of us were working the grounds and two were working the ditch. After 2 hours I stopped digging pennies and dimes and just concentrated on quarters. I had jeans on and had filled one front pocket and was working on the second one when we finally quit because we lost the light. I have been back a few times on my own to help find more coins to donate to the site. I haven't been there for five years now. The coins might have accumulated or they might have stopped throwing them. There was a big tree but it was gone five years ago. I still found over $20 in coins to give them. It was a blast! Here is a pic of a Spanish Reale I found in my home town in Oklahoma where a sidewalk used to be. [ATTACH=full]196253[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
