Garrett AT Pro Metal Detector Review & Depth Test

[@hayohaitsma1109]

Such a comprehensive review. Best review I've seen on this machine. Well done!

[@vegemite3245]

So far this is the best video of AT Pro functions that I have managed to find from youtube. Thumbs up!

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you very much!

[@diggndeep8783]

vege mite bro. garrett makes 4 insructional videos about it. i recomend you watch them and its ALOT better

[@shrekpower]

true that!

[@mbs1985]

I just purchased my AT Pro two weeks ago and I absolutely love it! Great informative, thorough review of the AT Pro. I really enjoyed watching and this video has helped me figure a couple things out. Thanks!

[@tobiahtoviyahgoodnessof349]

Is it true that it doesn't pick up fine gold in and near black sand and such. Is this true or not, kind regards

[@90Davidea]

though I had some problem with sea water It also kzbin.infoUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

[@ELEV8DIRTFILMS]

One of the best presentation i seen . I just bought my first Garret AT Pro after 19 years with my Blue & Gray Pro which is a great machine too.

[@zimmyman564]

I have been into detecting for four months with a Bounty Hunter Time Ranger but after this review i am upgrading to an AT Pro thank you for taking time to make this video it was very informative to me.

[@MrBryanBarry]

Hey Hunter, just wanted you to know I watched your video review several times before actually buying the AT Pro and wanted you to know it was very helpful in all aspects of how the machine works. I've had it for a little over a month now and am getting pretty good with it. Thanks once again for the honest review of this machine. It works and handles just like you demonstrate.

[@maxjr758]

hey just bought a AT PROS last month at Kellyco, while my wife and I were camping near Coco Beach. We rode over to Kellyco one day and I talked to Stevie Ray. He helped me determine the AT PROS would be best for me, as we may be anywhere. He showed me how to assemble, set it up and how to operate it. I'm in the Hickory/Morganton area and looking for a experienced hunter to go detecting with to gain some knowledge. Thanks for the videos that helps!

[@theDeitz]

Hickory, NC ?

[@Bobb1julie]

Thank you . You are a credit to our hobby ..I'm a newbie and will not hesitate to purchase this AT PRO in May 2016.Wish an old vet good luck..Keep up the great work CCH .You are a great mentor . I mentor Olympic Archery in the JOAD..

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words, and good luck with the AT Pro. It's a great machine :)

[@hound4u937]

This is the best metal detector video ive seen. This is how ALL metal detector reviews and tests should be done! Thanks a bunch!

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you !

[@ianmckay9169]

Just watched this and decided to try out some of your settings here in the house, its nigh time so I am indoors. Can't bury anything outside so I tossed up some coin with my eyes closed and searched them blind on the carpet. Wow, with eyes closed you are so focused on the audio feedback, great way to tune into what the AT Pro is telling you!

[@jmddetecting5503]

the garrett at pro is a excelent machine love the tones , and just pleasure to use , honestly anybody on the fence about buying the pro just take the plunge , I can guarantee you will be very surprized at just how good the at pro really is!

[@kubarlow]

Although this is an eight year old video I want to thank you for this clear and extensive instruction 😊

[@daleolnick4617]

Well done. My friend inherited one of these. I have had a Minelab Etrac for 10 years. Your video makes it very easy to understand the AT Pro and I am almost thinking it could be a simpler machine to operate the ETRAC. I am trying to help my friend with metal detecting with his machine and your video has really opened my eyes to help him. Thanks.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you,and good luck with your detecting.

[@tuckerdave1]

Thanks for getting back to me . That's makes sense , thanks so much . Be safe .

[@StevenMcNulty]

REALLY helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to do a test video. I am buying a AT PRO based on this video.

[@jimchapman8564]

Hi from the UK, I've had my Int AT Pro for only a couple of months and this video has helped me no end, from this I've found features a lot more easily than other videos as this one explains in depth much better, thanks for sharing your knowledge and will be out again tomorrow. Thankyou and happy hunting.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you, and good luck !

[@jerrydineen2827]

I just found your channel and subscribed. I live in Eastern N.C. and have a AT Pro that I just got for Christmas. This video was more helpful that the video that Garrett produced. I'll keep watching and thanks, Jerry

[@texasrhino6932]

Wife bought me a AT Pro for Christmas last year. New to the hobby and tried it a couple of times, but couldn't get the hang of it. Watching the Garrett videos and reading the manual was little help. Your video is so clear and concise on how the machine operates and the tones to listen for. Thanks for the explanation. Think I'll go try it out tomorrow on the beach in Northwest Florida.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thanks for watching, and good luck! It takes a little while to get the hang of it, but it can be very rewarding :)

[@alanaspopo1955]

Also nickels and quarters are part of what lead you to gold and silver finds because they along with half dollars and dollar coins all tend to gather in the same low spots and low spots and erosion are where you should look. But that is another story. Get a sniper coil and another coil such as the stock small coil or a concentric one. Be sure to do a factory reset every time you switch out your coil. Read your manual to understand how to do it correctly. Focus on what you are doing out there, take notes if need be, etc, etc. The more you put into it the more you will get out of it! I would recommend the AT Pro as a great machine, though there are many other machines available that can do more. If you have a bad back and only used your machine twice in two years get out of metal detecting as you are not cut out for it. Don't blame it on Garrett. Metal detecting can be very hard work and digging a bunch of 8 inch and deeper holes is not for most of us. Sometimes I give it a rest for a few days. I get tired of not finding anything much somedays and the other day I got so many targets I got tired of digging them all! Use a sniper coil for good seperation of targets when in trashy areas or areas close to fences and such. They work. Don't believe everything you see on KZbin as some folks ate spouting "Alternate Facts" because thdy don't know their machines well or are too dumb to learn the skills needed. Some don't even understand how to tune their machines or use generalizations which are a disservice to Newbies. Newbies read and watch all you can about the AT Pro and slowly and surely (Stop calling me Shirley!) you will get more knowledge and make better settings manually to enable you to get more out of your machine. Clean up your mess and help the rest of us keep a good image, say "Yes Sir and No Sir and Mam" and act responsibly and try to be pleasant. All this and dedication will reap benefits for a lifetime!

[@brinleyjohn6432]

James Andrews thanks l go along what u say.

[@TrumpDesantis-zm3kg]

thanks dad

[@gpnmoab1]

Your video helped me to chose the AT Pro. Coming from an old Whites 6000 DI S3 to this machine is very different experience. This is my first modern detector. The Whites is very good for hunting in trashy areas. Hopefully when I get out into the mining sites with the AT Pro I will find it's just as good or better. I love the features and light weight. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together.

[@huskycards8037]

this was a great video. i bought this as my first time metal detector. I went from looking like i was trying to understand Chinese, to actually knowing what i was doing. thank you!

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

That's great ! Good luck out there .

[@scoireamerica1609]

Hello carolina, thank you for a subjective and honest review of the AT pro. It helped me make the decision of purchasing the detector for my wife. Today is Feb. 7th, in Maryland,chilly and the ground surface is frozen the first two inches but we lost our virginity today and after useing the garrett for the first time joined your ranks.. we found a pull-tab and a finish nail…what a blast we had laughing. GL/HH.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you had a good time with your new Garrett. It is pretty nuts how many pull tabs and junk are out there, but there is some very good stuff waiting to be discovered as well. The more you use the machine, the better you'll get at determining what you are about to dig. Good luck, and keep having a good time:)

[@Trekker57]

Thank you so much for your in depth review of the Garrett AT Pro metal detector! I just bought one from Kellyco detectors. I can't wait to receive it! Again thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you Paul, and best of luck with your new machine!

[@mehmetakman8564]

[@GWoods-rc5xw]

Awesome review C.C.H.! Getting my Garrett AT Pro this Friday. Been doing a lot of research on it. Really excited to learn how to use it and then go out and try it on land and in some water. Keep up the good work.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you. The At Pro is a great machine. Good luck with your detecting!

[@abbabb8641]

I've had an AT PRO. for 2.5 years You. just clarified all the things I. didn't understand about it. THANK YOU!

[@gordonconlogue5686]

What did you not understand?

[@aiyanataylor5821]

Thanks to you and your videos I went out and purchased AT Pro. I cant wait for the snow to melt to hit some streams and really kick this hobby off. Thanks again for the videos and really thank you for the details you share. Have a great season. God Bless.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you for the kind words, and good luck with your new AT Pro.

[@barrywainwright3391]

I use an Ace 350 and its very stable and I find coins 8 inches. It has the same depth capability as the Pro. I am looking for a detector that goes really deep and that will be used as a determining factor in getting a new machine. Also you should do an air test with different coins.

[@jocksprocker8864]

Hi I love my at pro after watching many videos of more expensive machines I can see they dig up the same amount of crap as I do for more money great vids by the way

[@MrThedocholiday]

Really appreciate all the details you give in this video. I'll probably watch it again just to glean a little more info. Thanks for the upload for the rest of us still learning the AT Pro.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

+Duster Dan Thanks for watching, and good luck!

[@gregorym9591]

I had a coin detector around 1975. Put it away due to to many questions from the people going by. Now being retired took out my old machine to find it wasn't working. It took 14 size AA batteries to operate the machine. Couldn't find the company on the computer. So I did my search on the web sites and after viewing many videos, read lots of reviews I came to the conclusion I would order the GARRETT AT PRO. After two days i received the machine . Easy installation of the parts, easy individual adjustments for the head set.The computer videos on different web sites are great for the first operating set up. The book takes a lot longer to understand . I will take the book along with me . But......... after going into my back yard i bent my GARRETT EDGE DIGGER in about five minutes going around tree roots. I set the machine ground balance automatic easily, the machine in standard mode and zero with 33 on the metal discrimination. I was digging to china getting readings of 85 to 99. ( I live in New Jesery) I have the GARRETT pointer on order . I stopped digging even when i was getting a signal of 99 due to tree roots three inches across. I have a lot to learn. when I put the machine down to dig the machine picks up the GARRETT digger even when it,s about two feet from the machine. Had to take my keys out of my pants pocket. The storage bag is on the cheap side. I would recommend the bottom plate for the coil be mounted by GARRETT permanently for each coil My yard starting to look like the movie caddy with the gopher holes all covered up. Found one penny 1975, piece of aluminum, a stone which is driving the machine crazy , and one nail. This was after a few hours. I think the machine is worth the monies spent. Must learn and have a tremendous amount of patience........ a tremendous amount of patience. Oh, did I mention you must have patience? Thanks Garrett,you do good work! This machine is going to be my last machine with a little care. Greg M.

[@carlkirkwoodjr4272]

I have been thinking about buying a metal detectors and have decided to get this one. After all the ones I have looked at. Thank you.

[@rjahn3000]

Excellent video, thanks I have been considering the AT Pro for awhile now.

[@JamesAnderson-wx8jf]

As a new adventure i,m very impressed by the many success stories,and if had the money I would hire this guy as a teacher he did a superb job.

[@bobpowers3264]

Outstanding review! I will buy this machine just on the strength of your review. Not that it will make a difference, but do you receive monetary reimbursement from Garertt? I have a Garret that I swear buy and have a limited budget. I would like to ask you a few questions before the purchase of my next Garret machine. I have moved my winter camp) we are from Adirondacks, NY) to Edgewater FL. I plan on being doing beach and salt eater detecting. Thanks for your input. Not to seem an apple polisher, but you are a damn fine reviewer.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you! I do the reviews on my own, and do not receive any compensation from Garret. I just try and put out some honest information to help out others that are interested in the hobby. GL & HH:)

[@willnotcomply1328]

Good honest review, I was already decided on the AT PRO, but this helped me to solidify my decision.

[@LyudmilaRGVK]

Outstanding Video. I especially liked it when you said.(The park is still gonna be there). Your video has helped me understand a great deal more on how to use my AT Pro,and I have had it for 2 years.Thank you so much.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

LyudmilaRGVK Thank you for the kind words, and for checking out my video. Good luck with your detecting :)

[@vtxdaryl]

This is exactly what I wanted to see, thanks for sharing.

[@Jeep_4_us]

I know this video was made a long time ago and you might not still be doing it but I saw this video and fell 8n love with the hand tool you used. It looked like it was red at one time, it was long and curved. It looks like it would work great. Thanks so much. Rhonda

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

It is the Predator tools Raptor.

[@Jeep_4_us]

Thank you so much for your quick response! I'm going to check it out.

[@chrisby777]

A well presented comprehensive video. Many thanks. I purchased the American model for Australia instead of the International model. I hope I've made the right choice. Up till now I've been using the AT Gold which is also an outstanding machine but I felt overwhelmed with the size of our parks and beaches here with the small coil. Obviously I can't use the coin mode over here but would you be able to offer any help on the program that would most suit my hunting. I'm looking for our pre decimal coins which all come in the 80s I also hunt for relics etc. thank you again for a really well done video. I subbed you on the strength of this video.

[@miningmonkey760]

nice video and nice visuals. i currently have whites and minelab MD's and wanting to get an AT Pro now it's just a hard trigger to pull. Curious though on the video at time 10:32 the wheat penny's Coin Depth is reading from 4"-8" hwy is that? that's a pretty drastic difference when its only about 1-2" depth. Any ideas, whats your theory on that? The Mercury Dime at 11:01 has a depth of 8". The Buffalo nick is 6-8" and I'm going to venture to guess the other coins will give the estimated depth of 6-8" as well. im definitely sold on Garrett just trying to justify the readings.

[@bellycuda]

Wonderfully helpful review, thank you for your very clear explanation and the time you spent putting this demo together!

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

+Simon Swan Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@fredjalal7835]

That is very kind of you to go all the way explaining in detail thank you but how deep or depth can go you think

[@thepriceofpearls]

So you are getting reasonable depth on silver , to 10 inches? My F44 won't pick up silver beyond 6", and I have not found any yet. I have several silver coins buried at different depths in the backyard, won't pick up beyond 6". Places I recently hunted you don't find silver at that depth -8-12" are the norm. I'm now interest again in the AT-pro.

[@nilambe08]

Very helpful and well explained in a straightforward manner! Thanks for your efforts!

[@oledevo]

I'm completely new to metal detecting, got the ace 250 and after a few hours I decided to get the DD coil INSTEAD of the NEL tornado. Primarily to cover more area and that it's apparently better in mineral heavy soil but I went with DD because of the weight. Couldn't be happier with the 250. I dig pretty much everything.

[@RockinRack]

I love the simplicity. Just ordered a minelab 900 and hope its not too complicated for me lol

[@cliffx7]

Great Video brother! I just bought an Garrett AT Pro based on your review! Thanks again!

[@danielmalloy6093]

Great vid. It would be nice to know how the different coils work on this if you shoot another vid. thanks

[@sixroldan6742]

Thank you so much for this review! This was the machine I've been considering after a bit of research and this just put it over the top. Thank you again!

[@starkruzen]

Thanks for the excellent video! I have this machine and really enjoy using it. I noted, however, the depth indicator is somewhat faulty. On your video it was showing depths up to 6".

[@patjsy1]

Wow you just made my mind up for me, amazing video really well put together, can't thank you enough, all the best, Pat

[@nickstix06]

Thank you for posting this video. Most I've seen aren't in-depth and or helpful. Your video has helped me make up my mind. I'm going with the ATpro. You can't beat the features for the price! My minelab xterra picks up trash and it's a waste of time. I'm excited to try the Garrett.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

fu tube Thank you for watching, and for the kind words. Happy hunting!

[@Kwkeaton]

Thanks for the Video. I just got a AT Pro and enjoyed your video. Would like to see you do a test on all the coils available, 4.5 and up and explain the differences. Thanks!

[@gregorym9591]

This video is one of the vids hat helped me to start using the GARRET AT PRO. Great video. Greg M.

[@scoireamerica1609]

Thank you Gene, I picked up some interisting squeels at the base of a two hundred year old maple tree, now I cant wait till the ground thaws some…GH/HH

[@groundskeeper5292]

Thanks. Great info. Just picked up a used at pro...so your video was very helpful and straightforward!

[@AngeloDeValPhotos]

Thanks for the great review! being away from the hobby for some years, the At pro sounds a good deal if I decide to get back

[@jmaguire7139]

Just happened on to this video. Helped a lot in understanding the pro side. I watched and listened to the Garrett reps on how to use the pro side. Not sure why I didn't pick it up from them. Maybe they went over it all a bit fast. Anyway, great video. Maybe I can get some use out of my pro side for a change.

[@e.shealer2417]

This is an awesome video. Thank you so much for helping me start my new hobbies! Your the best.

[@YeCannyDaeThat]

What a brilliant, complete review. I'd like an ATPro bt cant justify the money just now. I love my Ace and Explorer 2 but Im really keen to sell the Explorer 2 and get an AT pro.

[@tuckerdave1]

Hi , at the 20 min + or - you where showing on the pro mode and standard made on the coins When you where on the pro , why did you not put it on pro coin ? Sorry if you already explained this but I'm just learning , and trying to fig the benefits of different modes . Do you use mostly pro custom ? Thanks a lot , grate videos !

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

David Gagne Pro coin has some preset discrimination to ignore trash items like pull tabs, iron and foil. I mostly use Pro Zero with a little iron discrimination. Just enough to knock out small nails. A lot of jewelry and other good targets can come in in the pull tab and foil range. When you use a lot of discrimination you can miss some targets if they are extremely close to another item that is being rejected. The machine will have to recover from going silent on the rejected item before it can sound off on the next. Coin mode is great if you are just wanting to concentrate on coins at a park, but you may miss some targets that are also desirable. If you want gold rings, you end up digging a lot of junk, but with a bit of time on the machine you can also get a feel for what to pass on.Thanks for watching!

[@horseman528]

I use my AT Pro just about every time I go metal detecting. Waterproof up to 10 feet and fairly good depth, good separation, and target id.

[@andrijai9976]

Thanks for the review..really considering to buy AT Pro.. like it a lot. Simply and yet powerful.... A nice presentation... Now i"m using Fisher F2.. entry machine,, but makes a lot of fun in free time.. my oldest find is a Kreutzer y.1762.. Thanks, and greetings from Croatia..

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Thank you for watching. I started off with the F2 as well, and it is a great machine for the money. 1762 is a very old coin, congratulations! Good luck with your metal detecting :)

[@HillbillyNitroUSA]

At Pro is my weapon of choice. Great video man! 🖒👊

[@STFUitsBlake]

great video, i bought an at pro today for some water hunting. i normally use a minelab safari but i look forward to playing with my new machine

[@pats9087]

Hey all! I am looking to slowly get into detecting and relic hunting and just want to know... I've had my eyes on this machine for a few weeks now but realize that this video is kind of old now... is the AT pro still worth the 1000$ Amazon price tag?? Or are their newer and better machines I should look at? Any advice would be great thx!

[@ΑΒΑ-ω1κ]

Equinox800 is better than pro.

[@cubsfanadam1]

Nice video I've been researching detectors here and there and have seen other guys here on you tube using this detector and after this video I've made my decision next year to buy the AT pro. Hopefully I can find something good in my yard (Built in 1948) or my parents (1890)

[@xyzzy1233]

thanks for the video. You mentioned that the 10" coin was kinda weak. Keep in mind, in the Pro mode, the sound is weaker the deeper the coins - this is to add to the intelligence you get in addition to the VID

[@dacec7512]

I used to get coil covers for my Fishers and Whites machines. Does it hurt this machine to actually make ground contact when sweeping. I pretty much scraped the ground lightly with my coil. I recently lost discrimination on my Fisher and have been looking for a new Machine. I keep coming back to the AT Pro after looking at a LOT of other reviews on other machines..

[@Thehistoryofcats]

I've been looking into the pro as well. Looks solid and i think it comes with a coil cover

[@themodernadventurer4320]

Great video 👍 Really appreciate the time and detail put into it. I started out with used bounty hunter and payed it off within 3 days of serious detecting. (Payed 75 for the detector that resulted in a ton of fun and a silver/diamond earring) I know that people say there are better detectors than the Garret AT Pro but it drove me nuts that I have missed so many water detecting opportunities. Do you have any recommendations to a all terrain/waterproof detector around the same price? Ive looked and looked but maybe I have missed one. Could go the pre owned route but afraid of getting a neglected detector but I could always just send it off to get serviced.

[@knutfinstad7416]

Just got this machine, very happy with it but I am still getting nails on zero mode with 35 on iron discrim, is this common? Should I maybe go to 40 on iron discrim? Thank you for your review and merry christmas :-)

[@vericakusicki6579]

Hello, I am a big fan. Your TV shows in my country, Serbia is very popular and is constantly looking at you. I would like to do and I these hobbies, but unfortunately can not afford a single bar used metal detector because my country is poor. If there are people of good will that we can not afford a metal detector, it would be very grateful. Thank you in advance and greetings from Serbia.

[@longhair51]

Great instructional video. Helped me decide on the AT PRO. Thanks

[@dubcoco1]

Have you tried the depth test with the 5x8 coil? I understand that the depth of detection is shortened but wondering just how much you lose with the smaller coil. Thanks.

[@tumorrito58]

Hello Gene,I just wanted to thank you, for explaining the At Pro, I'm new to the At-Pro but not new to detecting, just a quick question is there a special setting you use for the parks that have of beaver tails? Your California BuddyRudy

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

You are very welcome! If I'm getting a ton of beaver tails that are ringing up pretty close to each other, I'll sometimes use the eliminate button when swinging over one to knock out that particular target ID. You may still get a bit of a signal if the ID bounces around, but it should break it up quite a bit. Thanks for watching,and good luck with your detecting :)

[@notalotalottopamozza7560]

Great job with the review of the Garrett AT pro however I purchased this detector because it was All Terrain! I've found that this is not the case, when I go anywhere near water the detector goes nuts! I even get targets when I wave it in the air!!!! I've contacted Garrett and the uk suppliers regton and they want ME to pay for shipping when this thing is still under warranty! After paying £600 for it I don't want to spend any more. That said the detector works great in fields and have found lots of cool stuff, but be prepared to find lots and lots of coke (coal) as this machine loves it, it give off a good target signal so you have to dig it! So once again thank you for your review but I wish I had carried on saving and bought a minelabs etrac much much much better machine 👍

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

That stinks! Sounds like you have a coil problem, as I have never had this issue with mine. I would contact Garret again, and tell them the coil is bad, and see if they'll ship you another.

[@FordFracture]

I've had my AT PRO for 2 years now and due to back surgery ive only used it 2 times and it worked great but I just took it out to get it ready for a week at waikiki beach and it's all screwed up ! I popped in the batteries and turned in on and it started screaming and all the indicators started jumping so I tried different batteries and now change so I was thinking maybe it was the coil so I put on the sniper coil and still no change ? so I'm gonna have to give garrett a call and see if they can help . I'm hoping it's a easy fix because 2 times of use and it's broke isn't a good ratio .

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

That stinks. Did you try an do a reset. Hold the power button for ten seconds or so until you get a fast double beep, and see if that does anything. If your unit is malfunctioning, Garrett customer service is very good. Hope you get it worked out!

[@FordFracture]

+Carolina Coin Hunter yep I tried the master reset and it didn't work hell I can't even get it to turn off ! so I sent it to garrett last week and I haven't heard back from them yet .

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

That kind of stuff does happen sometimes. I'd give them a call if you don't hear from them soon. Hopefully you'll get it back and be able to have some fun with it. It would have been nice on that beach trip. Sounds like my luck. lol

[@FordFracture]

+FordFracture I did call them and they said I was out of warranty and I will be charged accordingly ? it's kinda sad that you pay top dollar and use it a handful of time and it has to go bad for repairs ! and I'm sure it's gonna cost at least 200 or more to fix . and the thing that make me mad is that I stored it it the garrett padded bag with the batteries out and it still failed me !

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

FordFracture That does suck.

[@fabdel155]

Nice test we can see that AT PRO is good on mineralised soil for his price. I am really interesting in the same test but with the mode PRo, ZERO, ZERO discri and full sensibility. I think that with this you can have all at 9 inches and a better sound on the 10 inches quarter. This is normal that in mineralised soil ID's go down so I think we must let the discrimination at 22 and not at 35 or 40; with this high number we can miss low conductives targets.

[@dougd6871]

Thanks great video Sir i was looking was going to by this about a month ago I wish i did. I my go and buy it tonight. After watching this thanks again.

Very cool tests. I am hoping to get an AT Pro soon. I have been using the ACE 350 for 2 years. i like the fact that this has numbers which helps with discrimination. This red Clay/Iron soil is tough here in central NC! Thanks a lot. Subscribed and when I do buy one, I'll be back!! Do you find it hard to get permission here? sigh!

Fantastic review, thank you for the effort and sharing, I think you did a good job with the real world test. Thanks again..

Good video, just wish the voice audio was more constant when you change locations.

[@chriseisan5443]

hope you are right, I just bought one. I live in Nova Scotia where the ground is very mineral active

[@westrokker]

I recently bought the Ace Apex. I don’t like it and am returning it. The depth readings were way off, and way to much chirping no matter what settings I used. Is the AT pro better?

[@westrokker]

I'll answer myself, yes it is!

[@policestew]

Excellent intro an explanation... great video.

Good review. I have been thinking about one for just water hunts. Interested in why you choose the AT Pro over the AT Gold especially with gold in your area? I'm in the upstate of SC and have struggled with just this choice. I'm choosing the Pro because of the notch discriminator. I can manage my time better looking for what I want on any given day. One of the best videos i'v seen on the AT Pro. HH and God Bless.

I chose the At pro because it can ground balance all the way to salt water, and it's a bit cheaper than the gold. I've mainly used it for hunting swimming holes, and iron heavy sites. If I need to go prospecting, I could give it a try with the pro or just use my V3i. The notching ability of the pro is also a very handy feature! Thanks for watching and good luck with your detecting :)

Thanks for the outstanding review; Looking for a new md, would you prefer the AT PRO or the re-released T2 Classic / green? (water resistance doesn’t matter to me)

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

+Gerwin Meijer If you don't need a water proof machine then I think the T2 would be good. I'd put the savings towards a nice pinpointer and headphones, and then you'll be set. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your detecting!

+Carolina Coin Hunter thanks from Holland!

[@stevejones2373]

what is the cost for the Garrett AT pro? I am looking for a detector that will pick up on all metals Gold silver and scrap. thank you for taking the time to read this letter.

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Steve Jones Thank you for watching Steve! The AT Pro costs around $600.00. This isn't cheap, but it is a great value at it's price point considering it is also waterproof to ten feet. Great for detecting those old swimming holes :) Good luck with your detecting!

[@stevejones2373]

ok thank you very much. Keep swinging for coins.

[@pof1991]

Do you change the head for beach great vid thanks

[@tickdog3]

I am thinking about buying an AT Gold. What is your opinion on this detector over the AT Pro? Great video by the way.

[@dalehidy4355]

I was wondering if when you notch out pull tab will you lower your chances to find gold rings. Over the years i have noticed that rings,pull tabs and nickel readings have often turned up a gold ring. How fine tuned is this unit to actually discriminating out pull tabs? Your answer would help me decide weather to buy the gold or the pro. I can't make up my mind

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

It can reduce your chances to some degree. Only certain rings would fit into that area. The notch is pretty small, so I think your chances overall would still be very good.

[@SilasChapman]

Brilliant video , really really helpful Thankyou for your time

I'm researching into metal detectors and I see a lot of these machines are for finding coins, jewelry, and small antiques at shallow depths. What kind of machine would I want if I was to be looking for things bigger like military buttons, helmets, mortar rounds, or guns at depths 2-4 feet + ?

[@CarolinaCoinHunter]

Jared Getz The larger the object the deeper these machines will pick it up. A smashed beer can can easily be picked up up over a foot deep. A button is similar to a coin in size, so you could pick those up at normal coin depths. Many people use these types of detectors to find Civil War relics here in the US. A helmet could be picked up at a couple of feet deep at least. Some detectors like the Fisher F75 has a cache locating mode designed to find larger deep objects, but most detectors will find large stuff pretty deep anyway. Hope this helps!
