is the wire when tapped really does not false ..barley touching or even passing the wire in front of the coil does not cause problems...
Abrupt changes when swinging or twisting around obstacle does cause this....
tapping bottom of coil will cause it low tone instead of high tone...
Hitting brush( twig's,limb's,stubble ) causes high tones.. Right now it would be real hard to wo

I have posted the same video on another forum....and lot's of people are seeing the same thing...
Sort of quirky when it hit's a stick or twig..
Wont stop doing it till about 4 on sens...
could we be seeing another CZ type sens...where it cant run much above 5? depth is way out there on this thing...must be pushed into the stratosphere ......

At-Pro actually like's a quicker sweep speed...3 ft per second....and the depth gets better at the quicker pace....way faster target response than the GTI also and faster recovery speed..
I would akin the separation and recovery about like a Tesoro....Not as fast as a F-75 in separation ..You have to massage signals out of the iron to get the target's the the f-75 get's...But an

That said "this is not your father's Oldsmobile" back when they were trying to get a new following ....
well this is not your father's Garrett......Ha-Ha...... let's hope they don't go the way of the Old's
Seriously though put the machine in Normal and it's ace series.....Put it in Pro and it's a whole new avenue for Garrett... Mayb

I see a place for the At-Pro in relic hunting for sure...Real sensitive machine for sure...Will take time to master and get the most out of it...Machine is an audiophile's dream come true!!

No but really.......her's my take for what it is worth... and I don't have alot of time on the machine yet ....But it bring's something different to the table....

glad you liked it...

and it will perform it's just different than a Omega/t-2-f-75 type machine....the audio is more like analog...and it really can blend...instead of just saying it's high or low or rapid fire of tone's although fast they are still signaling one tone and a time on the FT machine's...the At-pro blends more..
Not as fast as the Ft machine's but the depth across the board c

in term's of raw depth couples with sputter's and pop's and spit's....the Pro mode audio is more like when Fisher was using the second derivative filter but it;s more enhanced with tone's and ground balance option's...all those noises makes sense if you learn them...thats was one way the Fishers got there depth by not filtering the signal say like a tesoro does to s

you ask "Compair it to the G2 for us I have the G2 and hits on targets the LTD missed it is cleaner on targets as far at the tone and hits hard"
The GBSE G2 has a clean audio and finds thing's the F-75 misses usually though it's a low conductor or targets the noise of the F-75 T-2 masked..nothing wrong with the noise if you know how to use it....The AT-Pro is noisy but not

have worked on pretty hard... Last time in I got basically nothing but a few pieces of surface trash....
Area constant machine gun iron ......
The At-Pro bring's a whole new style of hunting to the table...it's very sensitive to small and large item's .....
The At-Pro is in pro mode is a very tricky machine to run.....if you are not used to running say a 1266 type machin

Got mine in this morning....and just tested it in the garage....and on some in ground target's in my yard....
Target separation not like the GB SE or G2 but not no slouch either...probably a little less than a T-2...but in another way it has some really unique audio that can blend the responses..Closer to say a analog type audio...
Now the nail and button test close together is just as

the biggest difference is minimal discrimination...The biggest advantage is Bad Dirt and Hot Rock's just don't exist any more....you get crisp clean signals in ultra bad dirt or clay and even under hot rock's or cold rocks that render Vlf's useless...
Now to hunt inland sites you need a special P.I.
You need a P.I. that will ground Balance!!

Took 25 year's to get this one off my wish list!!! and the TDI-Pro got it in very bad dirt and at great depth....Coat size Steele Johnson 1850's backmark....come out of a Civil war camp that I have been using the P.I. in the last few weeks and have gotten over a dozen buttons out of...VLF's wont touch them...
Hard button to find....Thought I would share... and show what bad grou

and one notice this?
I know the T-2 start's to drop of once the bars climb above 3 Fe....Actually any of the First Texas machines start to suffer in Higher Fe dirt...
I believe the Xp's are built in France and I heard they have volcanic dirt? Correct me if I am wrong///////////////// so it should be tuned to bad dirt??
I may be way off base but some info from an experienced use

I have been playing with an ace 350 and if the ATPRO retains the 350's mineralization see-through I believe we are in for quite the treat...Might be the machine a beach hunter has been waiting for??
I have seen some remarkable result's and the DD coil seems to be the culprit on the ace 350 for the excellent mineralization handling...and the coil really turned the ace into a depth dem

on the GBSE anyway... You can test your G2 and see also...On the GBSE as you move the ground around watch what happens to the depth especially when you approach zero setting which it uses for wet-salt.. the gain drops off..At least it does on the GBSE....now mild ground hunter's wont see much in depth changes because the strong areas are in the mid regions like 50-70 start getting out of tho

but you will find wjhen you get into extreme ground the depth drops off internally some way ...I believe it's tied to the ground Balance...It helps it run smooth in bad minerals
give it a test on low condcutor's when you balalnce to saltwater and see if the depth drops...
Just what I have seen with the GBSE

a detector say like a Nautilus Dual Mode Concept that would use Pulse for the all metal side and VLF on the disc side and have them run in unison?
If not just have on where you could switch back and forth between operating mode's?
Might be a good gap filler till a true Discriminating P.I. arrives..
I know I could put the DMC type system to some use in deep relic retrieval !!

People who look for low conductor's will be quite pleased...I am sure of this...I am absolutely enamored with my GBSE...
It's an awesome relic Machine for Button's and I bet would be awesome on Jewelry...

Well whatever it turn's out to be I am sure Garrett will sell a ton of them....That forum on the Findmall is constantly a flutter with activity....
Garrett seems to have strong following just look at the Garrett post just 450 shy of 100,000 post...
Even there Pinpointer created some buzz ......And I hear it's pretty dang good pinpointer....I don't know I don't use them

yes the Gold Bug hits real well on flat iron but it has alot of nuance to the signal that once you have your ear trained to it you almost always can tell sometimes it will fool you but I like that....
Now on the GB tin is real tricky and it loves crown caps...But that is awesome too because I have always found that machines that like bottle caps will also dig real low conductor buttons like Co

there might be some attributes that the AT Pro bring's to the table that us hunter's can find good use for...The scenario you talk about with the corn !!
I know from talking to the guy who Field tested it here in Ga. that an Eagle C Cuff button was found in a hard hunted area and the reason they are thinking it was located was because it was next to a tree and straight down beside it

Yes the audio sounds alot like a mixed mode audio offered by white's but more nuanced if you will....Should help the coin hunter's on bottle caps for sure...now picking in iron for good target's might be tricky with that option? Maybe not but let's hope it does not high tone on flat iron or there will be a mess with all that extra blurping mixed in...Hopefully it wont but mach

it is a step in the right direction for Garrett that other manufacturer's ought to follow suit.....not Copy But follow suit with at least the customers are asking for something and they are giving it...
Garrett has always aimed at the coin shooter market since Mr. Garrett is an avid coin chaser...But at least they are venturing out....and trying to offer a more relic, type machine...
