So today I met up with my buddy at an old pounded park. I was kind of late with a hangover ;) When I got there my buddy had 3 silvers already so I started swinging and my first
target was a 1943 merc. Dug 3 more targets (low tones) which were junk and came across a bouncy 11-27. After a couple of seconds it locked on to 12-30 with the cursor in the middle of the screen. So that got me curious as I dug some gold before on the same cursor position. Dug a 6 inch plug and bam at the bottom of the plug was Gold! Called my buddy over as I was jumping up & down he confirmed my find and got some water to wash off the dirt. After a rinse a beautiful 1906 D 5$ gold emerged. Also found a 1904 V nickel and 5 wheaties, my buddy found 2 war nickels, 2 mercs, barber dime and over 20 wheaties. What a day, I'm so happy :)

Thanks for looking & HH!

That is a dream come true! So, many people have this dream but you finally had it come true. Congrats!

By the by, can someone help out a poor ole lowly AT-Pro user? I speak my detector's language fluently. But, I just can't tie the vernacular from other machines. Low tones are low tones, but 11-27, 12-30, I just don't know how to tie. :icon_scratch:

Thanks!
And congrats again!
HH!
 

If that doesn't get someone's blood pumping, then they must be DEAD! GREAT photos, GREAT pics in the hole, in the dirt! MAN oh MAN!

Thanks BuckleBoy :)
 

Great job!! Looks awesome.. I'm still waiting for my first gold, but I know it's out there ;) Gotta keep lookin'. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Kfetters :)
 

Beautiful! Congratulations man! I have been detecting for 25 years and never found one (yet).

Thank you Steve, I just started experimenting with low tones the last 3 months. I was always digging high & mid tones before, makes me wonder how much I passed up...
 

Wow , awesome find , i love the sight of Gold in the morning ( anytime really ). cheers Mick

Thanks Whadifind, btw the numbers are from an Etrac. Someone who's got both machines can probably explain what that comes in on the At-pro.
