went for a quick swing this arvo found bout $6 ... the missus and children don't like the at-pro cause it finds targets way deeper than what the old 305 used too ... lol went to a spot that I had hit several times with the 305 ... found targets 4-5 inches deeper than before ... thus meaning more digging for the girls ... lol

Nice one Wooster, got to keep the arm in.

Think the wet ground adds to depth?

 

[wooster]

Nice haul of intersting items Wooster. did you clean the lock? it looks new! what is the blue - green thing

 

[Goldbuzzhashit]

Good day Wooster, nice finds.

 

[wooster]

hey tenounce yeah gave the lock a good clean ... the blue green thing I think is a building number plate

 

[Skysie]

Very cool!! What do you use to clean with? Ive been reading about cleaning online and they say use baking soda and a soft toothbrush, or a plastic bottle with vinegar and shake up and down a few times and leave over night
