Well I received my AT pro yesterday as I was heading out the door to do some errans. By the time I got back it was too dark ta try it out. :crybaby2:
But Today the virgin hunt happened !
The total time of the hunt was One hour and fifteen minutes. ( 1.15 mts. )
I went out to a park that I sometimes hunt. I say sometimes because I now that it is hunted by other derectorus fairly regularly.The park IMO has moderately to semi high mineralisation. I dug 33 coins, :occasion14: and 4 other pieces of metal. About Half or the coins came from the 4 to 6 inch depth. I got a good Dime signal which was at 8 inches deep. The headphones IMO are of a good quality and I like the shorter lenght of the cord. The iron grunt totally eliminated the digging of dreaded bottle caps !
I was trying out a bunch of settings on the AT . Today I had the sencitvity set at olny 4 bars! When I get some more time on the AT Pro I will post some of the settings that I like. HH Extractor :coffee2:

Did you get any sense for how deep you might be able to pick up targets? Does this thing have an all metal mode?

The testing Ive Done so far matches very closely to what Brent demos in the videos.

It has a zero discrimination mode, but not a true all metal mode.
 

I ordered a coil cover from garrett. As soon as I get it I plan on trying out the zero discrimination mode on a mining claim I have axcess to in the desert. :coffee2:
