3rd day out with AT Pro and boy was it AWESOMENESS !!!

[100acre]

Well, today was the first time I actually found anything of any value while out detecting. It was the official third day with my Garrett AT pro and I got my first permission as well. It's at an 1890 house owned by an old friend. It was the house built by the finish carpenter for the Biltmore house in Asheville to show the expertise of his work prior to the Biltmore being built,. It's kind of like a resume in physical form. There was an awful lot of trash in the yard as far as nails and low iron. So much so that I turned the iron discrimination all the way up and ran it in standard coins and pro coins. I managed to find a broken window counter weight and a head gasket made of copper. Plus some old bricks and lots of square nails. Once the sun came out I decided to start working in the shade and was walking along when I got this great signal and so I dug it up & lo and behold I got a big silver ring with the motif of the pagan Irish God of nature called the "Green Man" . After filling in that hole I looked down and saw a quarter and then I saw another and then I detected out a whole pile. I'm guessing it was coin spill. The first for me anyway. Sad to say, but not really, it was all clad. But I did find $3.15. My hobby is paying for itself and I got good experience and excercise.

I'm sorry for the sideways pictures I know I'm taking them correctly with my Apple stuff but whenever I load them on here they come out sideways

 

[100acre]

Every now and then one picture will load right. I forgot to mention while digging in one of the holes I found this little ceramic marble I'm guessing because I can't quite figure out what else it might be.

Either way nice finds.

Not being a mobile user, I've only read that they come out the way your holding the phone.

Neat ring .

100, you are on an AWESOME site!! And it appears you've only uncovered the tip of the iceberg, also looks like from the quantity/quality of your finds that it has not been hunted before, so....GET BACK THERE!!, and find more! If no one has hunted there, that place will be absolutely loaded. Don't sweat the pics, they're just fine...thx for sharing, great stuff...ddf

Cool ring and only your third hunt, watch out it only gets better. I'd hammer that place.
Congrats!!

Going back tomorrow morning

 

[jadocs]

Very cool, I agree keep hitting that site!

These are pix I deleted earlier....we'll see. If you tap on the Crenelation picture it comes out level. I'm giving the Tequila to my friend the homeowner. I can't drink the stuff anyway. Someone gave it to me 10 years ago. I've known him longer...

Nice finds for sure. Thanks for the pics.

 

[thaigler]

Great work Dan, my wife wants to know if you want to sell that rock column (picture you posted) you dug up ?

 

[ScubaDetector]

Interesting ring. Is it stamped sterling or .925?

 

[Silvermonkey]

That's a most excellent ring! Congratulations, and good luck on your many future hunts with the AT Pro. Its a very capable machine that has given me hundreds of hours of digger bliss. HH
