Garrett at Pro Metal Detector, Multi-Colour, One Size

Product Information

User manual is something you want to read carefully, and more than once, before you start assembling and using the metal detector. Even experienced treasure hunters take time to explore and remember theory before they get to practice; and this rule is especially applicable to newbies. The more you know about your metal detector before you switch it on, the less problems you will have in the field. If you are looking for an all-terrain metal detector that is of mid-price range then the AT Pro is definitely for you, the AT in the name stands for all-terrain so it’s clear Garrett focused on making sure they lived up to the name. Many people have spoken very highly about how great the machine performs no matter the condition. The fact it is waterproof also does it for me, this will help you get to places that other detectorists haven’t been! I haven’t myself used the Garrett AT Pro however this is top of my list when I upgrade.

The high res iron discrimination will be useful when metal detecting in parks and old buildings where the dirt is usually full of trash and iron.Without it, it’s difficult to hear the audio signals of coins and other valuables because of the bad audio signals in the headphones. The list of compatible coils includes waterproof Garrett 5 x 8 inches DD PROformance Search Coil, the largest among Garrett coils compatible with AT Pro Garrett concentric 9 x 12 inches PROformance Search Coil with faster recovery speed and bigger areas to be covered, small and perfect for highly littered locations Garrett 4.5 inches Super Sniper Search Coil. There are also compatible coils by other brands, including those by NEL and Cors. Garrett AT Pro Settings The buttons on the interface of the AT Pro are labeled clearly. It makes the machine simple to use and intuitive. The first is the operating frequency. This machine can generate a signal of up to 15 kHz. However, you can change the frequency based on the metal you’re looking for. Higher frequencies do best for objects with lower conductivity, such as gold.

Control Box

Most ferrous targets are labeled around the range of 1 to 40, and metals with higher conductivity register ids close to 99. The Garrett AT Pro metal detector (above) is perfect for coin, jewelry and relic hunting. Garrett AT Pro - Premium Features: Both experienced hobbyists and newcomers can benefit much from this metal detector. It is simple to learn how to use. One caveat though, it’s not suitable for wet sand and saltwater (although dry sands are fine). For salt conditions, you should go for the Garrett AT Max or dare I say the Tesoro Sand Shark.

It’s easy to get bogged down in specifics of coils and iron discrimination if you’re looking for the best metal detector, but don’t forget these basic bits of information.

Understanding the Garrett AT Pro Standard and Pro Audio Modes:

Pro Iron Audio works very similarly to the standard Pro Audio system. It works alongside the notch discrimination system to help distinguish junk metals from those that you actually want to keep. The machine will produce different sounds whenever the detector moves over iron, letting know that the item is most likely junk. Standout Features

AT stand for All Terrain which gives you a good idea about its capabilities. Having used one, I can say this is true – almost. This is a fully waterproof machine which is, in my opinion, essential. Many detectors have waterproof search coils, but not all have a waterproof control box. For those who want to learn more about the target, use the Pro Mode. The ability to hear a target’s size and depth through Proportional Audio is only one of the advantages of working in Pro Mode. Pro Mode’s more sophisticated audio features are intended for more experienced users who want to hear the actual signature of targets rather than the simplified target response available in STD Mode. Notch Discrimination The metal detector also features Pro Mode Audio technology. This function helps to provide better clarity. With the Pro Mode Audio, you can hear even some of the more subtle auditory changes when you’ve found your target. The audio technology offers improved accuracy on the size and conductivity of your target, while also offering information on the depth. By using audio technology, you also get a visual representation of the shape. This function can help you identify the type of object and determine if it is worth your time.

If the detector produces a gruntled tone with a normal tone, the item is possibly trash. A clean tone indicates that there is a target under the soil. The AT Pro has a two-year limited warranty on parts and labor. It does not cover damage caused by negligence, carelessness, accident, or misuse. This warranty will be invalid if the AT Pro is used at depths of more than 10 feet underwater. FAQs Pinpoint mode – this feature is of great help in metal detecting, because it allows to define that there is definitely a target down there, where the target is, exactly. While Pinpoint mode cannot replace the Pinpointer tool in efficiency, it still makes detecting more comprehensive. The new features of the Garrett AT Pro are what have made this machine such a great all terrain machine, when Garrett have designed and manufactured the AT Pro they clearly have wanted it to be a metal detector that works anywhere no matter what.
