Garrett ATG and thinking about another nugget hunter
Primary Interest:
Prospecting
Ok I'm not certain if right site but I figured I'd post here.
I've got the ATGold and after about 10 hunts I found 2 rings today. First hunt today in a park I found a couple pull tabs, of course and a penny. Plus a couple bolts and of course various foils. Great I can clean up other people's messes.
Then on the second hunt today I found a couple pennies pull tabs and then boom!!! I had a solid 90 ID. I pulled the plug, and started poking with the pointer. Then there it was. I thought it was another cheap ring of steel. Then my son cleaned it up when I got home. He asked "What's the 925 stand for". Man I was pumped. Sterling silver. Man finally!! A ring of value. Love my ATG

Congrats! 925 = Sterling Silver
 

Very nice. Silver always makes a nice find. Next time a gold ring maybe :)? Keep up the good work and

Hey terry. I found a flake of lead about 1/8"x1/8" plus or minus at about 6-8" with my ATG. Does that mean I could find a nugget or 12 up there in the fields? I'm pretty happy with my trial and error process. Hoping to get around there in a couple weeks. I'm going to visit your brother. I know you're busy.
