I'm new to the hobbie and just joined here. I only have a few hours on my AT Pro and already have great confidence in this unit. Took me a while to learn what "can slaw" sounded like but eventually got a copper buckle amongst it (8" deep"). Now I know what that slaw sounds like and how to distinguish a good target from a bad one.

The best tip I found is to use the ProPointer before digging if I thought it was a mowed up can. Most of them were just under the surface and easy to identify (took me a while to learn that).

On to the good stuff, or some may say NOT so good stuff :)

Im pretty sure the buckle is copper due to the green patina, found about 8" down in nice farm dirt. It appears the clasp part was iron? You can see a little rust on the hinge part and where it used to rest on the buckle. A modern bullet (30/30 or 270?). A 1982 copper lincoln cent and I think a brass tarp grommet.
