MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 7:39 pm Hi folks! Back from my detecting outing (going back sunday). As promised, I gave an AT pro a run for a few days and to say I was surprised, is an understatement. Though I do still say it is a beginner machine, if your just after hitting coins, mainly copper, at a 2 to 8 inch level, if you set it up correctly its a bit of an animal. In a group of 3, we are searching a fresh site and for this I will be using a Minelab machine for most of the duration. If you missed my earlier post, I called the AT pro 'crap' but the pictures included are the coin/buttons found in 48 hours using said machine. Before new comers all go rushing out to buy a Garrett please remember I have researched this site very well and have been trying to gain permission for a long time on here and knew it would be full of stuff. Also, problems still remain with the machine..... it missed a lot of stuff that the Minelab machines picked up easily. The recovery time is way too slow, and for some reason, it became very 'unstable' after a few hours use. Anyway, here is what we found with it, enjoy!!

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 7:57 pm Interesting Nottinghamshire County Council Education Committee medal! I think they were minted in 1935 for the Silver Jubilee of George V; does anything on the reverse suggest that? Report this Post to the Staff

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 8:27 pm Here's an interesting first-hand account of how these medals were put out into the world. All the schoolchildren were trotted out on a nice day in 1935, and given one: http://www.mooch.org.uk/serious/una...1930s03.html What then? It didn't represent any achievement for a given child. If you didn't find it to be a beautiful treasure, you couldn't swap it for a frog or a slingshot; all your friends just got one of the same at the same moment you did! Any wonder so many ended up in the ground? Report this Post to the Staff
Nathancrh1 Pillar of the Community Canada 785 Posts	Posted 05/30/2013 9:07 pm My grandfather got a 1939 "royal trip to Canada" one when he was a kid, he had it all through the years and gave it to me a few years ago. It was one of the coins that got me interested in collecting. Unfortunately I cleaned it before I knew what I was doing. I still have it though. Report this Post to the Staff

MetDet71 Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1569 Posts	Posted 05/31/2013 2:17 pm Hi JB. To be fair, it did surprise me. I did find it a bit jittery, but it certainly did its job, so I retract my statement about it being naff, its quite a good little unit for the price!

sarkany Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 06/01/2013 08:38 am From the land of the Bluenose.....the At Pro is a good machine for fields and such. I usually leave mine home and take my Freedom 3 Plus. Newer does not always mean better. Costlier does not always mean better. Operator of the machine can make or break a machine. Be one with your machine! Report this Post to the Staff
