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

Product Information

In the photo above, you can visually see that with the iron discrimination set to 20, all targets under 20 are silent with the Iron Audio set to the off position. It has an LCD screen that provides tons of useful information as you search. Yet, it’s not overbearingly heavy like some other models you see on the market.

You also get the latest MS-2 headphones to hear the tones clearly. This is important because the tones will differ based on the depth of the metal detected underground. Here the notch discrimination comes in handy. You can choose to accept or reject from the 12 different discrimination segments.I’ve found it impossible to detect without ground balancing of some kind, and on those days when you feel a bit lazy or under the weather, auto ground balancing is a stress-saver. Proportional audio on Pro mode sings a variety of tones (all non-screeching) when it discovers a target. It’s your job to figure out what these audio tones mean in terms of the target shape, conductivity, and depth. Use the clear instruction manual to save time. Finally, the detector has several adjustments to help you fine-tune the experience. Thanks to the flexible frequency and sensitivity settings, you can overcome just about any obstacle you encounter. 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. One of the best parts of this detector is that it’s waterproof up to 10 feet! You don’t have to limit yourself to dry soil. This detector will do just fine in lakes, beach shores, and shallow rivers.

The top part of the control panel has a legend that shows potential target categories in the area. It is useful for getting an idea of what the target might be. The AT Pro’s Digital Target ID system helps you find the target more precisely. Targets are shown on the LCD by number, with items near 1 being ferrous and those closer to 99 being highly conductive. When used in conjunction with audio signals, this system provides you with more information about the quality of the target. Search Modes It also comes with a pre-set ‘coin’ mode which eliminates foil, pull-tabs, and foils automatically. This mode is suitable for beginners who wish to go coin hunting.

The AT Max comes with another advantage of integrated wireless headphones to help you hear the tones clearly and locate the target faster. The Iron Audio technology provides superior discrimination, combined with a Mid-Tone Signal Range. The high-res iron discrimination function enhances the overall accuracy provided by the Garrett AT PRO.

You can use this metal detector on any terrain. Apart from the beach, it is also ideal for both dry and wet conditions. The all-terrain design creates more versatility when hunting for relics and treasure.But when a coin shooter hits a questionable signal and can’t decide whether to dig, they can flip on Iron Audio and instantly determine if any iron exists in the target. This feature saves you from digging trash so you can spend more time digging good targets. Automatic & manual ground balance

If the signal gets disturbed on a particular object that is trash, you can hold the ‘ELIM’ button. This will program the machine to remove the detected object from the pattern. However, these settings might not be effective in keeping metals with high conductivity such as pull tabs and foil away. However, if you’re on mixed terrain manual ground balancing is customizable to your exact requirements. The VDI Target numbers have been added, these are the metal detectors way of telling you what it thinks it has located. The Garrett AT Pro displays a target identification number relevant to the object. PinPoint and Frequency adjustment: Used for pinpointing or if used in combination with the sensitivity button is used to change the frequency of the machine.Each coil has its function. No coil is better than the other. It’s all about where you intend to use it. Warranty The reason I list this as a con is that it is only a single frequency machine – as is almost every machine on the market apart from high-end Minelabs and other specialty machines. With single frequency, detecting on saltwater beaches is not ideal. So if you live by the coast, this can be a problem.
