AT Pro and AT Gold Tips/TechniquesAnother “AT” WaterRecovery Success StoryIllinoisLance P. from Wheaton, IL has a greatstory of the ring recovery he made withhis Garrett AT Pro. Here it is, in his ownwords:“My wife and I teach at a smallChristian university, and our first semesterhere (Fall 2010) she agreed toparticipate in a student event in whichshe would paddle a boat with her handsin one of the school’s retention ponds.When she left the pond, she realized herwedding ring had fallen off! It was madeof her grandmother’s diamonds and wasirreplaceable, both for its sentimentalvalue, and because of their quality.“I’ve always been interested in metaldetecting but have never really seriouslytried it, so I purchased a Garrett AT Proto search the pond. The facilities departmenton campus was using an olddetector they had, but only its searchcoil could go in the water, so they werelimited to searching when the water wasreally low. I practiced in our backyarda bit (we live in a house built in 1900),and found quite a few interesting bits—coins, old appliance handles, etc. I thensearched the pond for a day in the summerof 2011, and found a few coins andcans, but no ring.“Now my wife has gotten a job ata different college, so we’re movingshortly, and I decided to do some moresearching before we leave. I searchedheavily in one section of the pond acouple of weeks ago, and found morecoins, but nothing else. Then, two daysago, I decided to give it one more try,and search very carefully in one moresection of the pond. After about an hourand some aluminum foil, I got a hit at79. I was using a sand scoop to dig, becausethe silt at the bottom is pretty easyto filter through with it.8Lost and found. Lance P. was able to recover his wife’s weddingring (above) with the help of his AT Pro and his own persistence.“As soon as I picked up the scoop Iheard a solid clank, and then I saw themain diamond of her ring shining likealways, right through the mud! I ranback to shore (falling into the mud inthe process), and called her to pick meup. I slipped the ring on her finger, andshe was absolutely thrilled! I cleaned herring when we got home, and it’s almostlike new—a jeweler’s cleaning is coming.“Thank you for the quality GarrettAT Pro! I could never have been asthorough without it, because I was ableto search when the water was high andwhen it was low. I look forward to continuingto use it. I’m fairly hooked atthis point!”Finder: Daren R., East Cowes, Isle ofWight, UKUsing: ACE 350Find: Rare gold coinOhioFinder: Keaton F.,Leipsic, OHUsing: ACE 350Find: Keaton (right)shared photos ofhis first finds afterreceiving an ACE350 for his birthday.Among his coinswere 1940 and 1945wheat pennies.Finder: Colin M., Madison, CTUsing: ACE 350Find: Colin (above), 11, had justlearned about Civil War bullets atschool.
