Hi all,
 
I'm new to the hobby, been doing it for 3 days only. I like it so far, very tiring it is, but keeps me in shape.
 
Anyway, I'm a 37 years old guy from Uruguay.
 
I own a Garrett AT Pro. I use it on iron disc 40, notch out everything under 50 aswell. Sensitivity 6 bars.
 
I'm 100% sure I'm the only detectorist in town, 95% I'm the only one in the state and surely I'm one of a very few in the country. Which is good!!
 
A guy stopped me yesterday to ask me how I was doing, he said it is the first time in 20 years he sees someone detecting in town.
 
I tried the beaches with not much luck. Just a few modern coins and lots of pull tabs and bottle tops.
 
I went to a picnic site, it is in use since the 70s. Big place. Littered with coins. Literally, you can't walk 2 steps without your MD beeping for coins. In this case it is around 64 in the AT Pro.
 The place is virgin, nobody ever detected it. You find coins as deep as 10 inches or just in the surface.
 
I attach a picture of what I got in 3 days (actually only 2 days at the picnic site). Modern coins and coins from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s. Oldest coin is from 1948 (found in the nearby forest together with the bullets).

Thanks Mick.

I'm yet to find any rings or jewelry, but I don't think I will find much of that around here. I really love the bullets though, I wonder how did they get there. They look like they have been buried there for many years.

Nice finds! You did find a lovely coin spot.

The AT Pro can be used in water up to 10 feet deep. That's deep enough to walk along the water's edge and into it up to a few feet deep to find lost jewelry. I believe that's where you'll find your first item of lost jewelry. People who swim with rings on often lose them when the water temperature causes their fingers to shrink and get a little slippery. Go on out a few meters and see how you do.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Hi Wasted,
Thanks for your comments. I know what you mean, you have many detectorists in the area, that is why I said it is good I do not have any around!! People look at me as if I was an alien.

Hi GD.

Yes, I will keep going to the picnic site for more coins. I liked the forest because nobody is there to look at me like WTF. Plus the bullets are nice finds.

Yes, I tried getting in the water about a foot deep, but the waves are so strong that even at that shallow depth the current is strong and it was difficult to swing the MD, I moved out to about 2 inches deep. No joy.
I will try a different beach soon, I'm after my first piece of jewelry  Cheesy

Hi Xavier and poptop, thanks for your words.

Here I attach a few pics of today's finds. Found 6 nice coins (among many others), 2 from the 40's (1946 and 1949), that is in the forest. And 4 coins from the 60's, from the picnic site.
Also many modern coins and from the 80's/90's.
Plus 2 bullets shells.

I made some videos both in the forest and the picnic place, I will upload them to youtube and then post the links here. You all will see how full of coins that site is. I also recorded how I found the 1946 coin in the forest.
