2 weeks with new at pro

[BFR]

I bit the bullet and bought the at pro and after 2 week I am finally getting the sound's and readings down.
I went out today for an hour and found a 70 cents in clad and copper. Nothing good. I go out to eat and find a 53 rosie in need a penny take a penny bowl. They let me take a dime if I left a dime.

You'll love the AT Pro once you get a hang of it. It is the cheapest of my 3 detectors I own but end up using it 90% of the time because it works so well.

I know the more I use it the better I will get. Any advise you can give me on it would be appreciated!

I'm not sure how well you know the machine yet and this may sound basic but what I tell any newbie who wants to use mine is to use the "Pro Zero" mode and then crank up the iron discrimination to around 38. From here anytime you receive a hit, pay attention to your VDI numbers. If the numbers jump around and are really varied (ie. 13, 75, 24, 80, 42, 62 and so on) I would not dig the target. But if the VDI numbers are constant and within 10 of each other, I would dig.

Now don't get me wrong, you'll still dig up some trash such as pull tabs and bottle caps because those ring up nice but this is the system I use and it has paid off nicely. Others may have their techniques which work for them and you'll find out what works for you after several uses.

Either way, have fun!

Good luck with the new detector!!
With everything so dead - it's a good time to get in the water with that one

Imagine what you'll be able to do with the machine once you have really learned the machine! OK, now that you have a few hours on the headphones, go back and read the manual agin and see how that chops up against your experience so far. Go back out there LOWER and SLOWER than you have to this point, and THEN come back and show us that STACK of silver!

Good eyes to catch that dime the way you did. Congrats!

it rained today, so maybe it soften up the ground! I am going to have to try some water detecting. Just not sure where yet.
