Just went to the park after dinner. I got the faintest signal on the AT pro reading 99. thought it was going to be a big bit of iron or something.It was 12-14 inches deep(really deep) My first British half crown 1887.Thats been on my list since I started. unfortunately it has had a pin put on to wear as a broach but still stoked.
