Stepped up to an AT PRO

Good morning The machine came in Sat., I ran it in my front yard where I have practiced with my other two machines,, and wouldn't ya know it I found a penny and a childs ring over looked by both of the others. This am I went to a park after a busy sports weekend and I was fooled by two repeatable 90/91 signals they were both about 4" down and are pcs, of the jungle gym pipe fittings, I ran the machine in Pro zero with a 35 in the Iron disc, just wondering why it rang a solid 90/91 signal... I doubt they are silver?



Thanks Bo
 

Congrats, hope you have lots of fun and find lots of great items.
 

Congrats on your new ATP Bo sounds like you are off to a good start - might consider putting in a coin & trash garden for practice anyway wish you many great finds while out dirt fishing with it.

You often gt a 90-91 signal from play ground equipment. After you learn your Atp you will recognize it as the equipment and not a target. If you have a real target close to the equipment you will know it's from your tone. Garrett says about 100 hours to learn the ATP but I say 200 hours to get good with it. I went out this morning with my ATP because my other Detector needs to be sent in for repairs and I plucked $5.35 in clad.
 

I second what Normsel wrote.
 

big deep iron will ring like that too. you will get used to it and you will get to know the tones. I will give you a tip sometimes when a target is deep it will give a pop like sound in the head phones dig it! also when you get those faint whispers tones on deep targets forget the vdi and dig it! I ran mine with 0 discrim and listened to everything but im a relic hunter and the noise I can take. you should only use as much discrim as needed you can knock targets out if you use to much. happy hunting wait till you run it over a silver coin what a sweet sound.
