Dug my first Half Cent today. "1805" at 12". I had a lesche ground shark buried up to the foot peg. Very impressed by the 5x8" coil on the AT Pro. IMAG0206.jpg Had another consistent good sound a few feet away and pulled up a buckle from same depth.IMAG0207.jpg adding couple more pics. The Face is pretty worn.IMAG0209.jpgand watch 1803 change to 1805IMAG0210.jpgand the back.IMAG0208.jpg

Hello Rick67,

Congratulations on the fantastic 1/2 cent find! That AT pro really performed well with that small coil. I found a 1805 half cent with a hole in it with the AT Gold at 11 inches; I now wear it around my neck as a reminder of the special experience.

Regards,
