    AT PRO and AT GOLD same COILS?

    I checked the Garrett website and the AT PRO and AT GOLD share the same part numbers. I can only see the coils for the AT PRO International, but I assume that the AT PRO and AT PRO International use the same coils. So - I wonder what the functional difference between the 5X8 and the Super...

    New 5X8 coil versus the 4.5 super sniper coil?

    As a complete ignoramus on the subject, I am quite curious about these two coils, and their uses. I understand that the DD coils have a search pattern shaped roughly like a round knife blade, and that the concentric coils have a larger, but less concentrated search pattern shaped roughly like a...

    Relic Hunters, let's be careful out there!

    Just saw this on yahoo. http://news.yahoo.com/7-people-killed-old-bomb-western-myanmar-074546546.html I didn't know that bombs would float, especially after 60+ years, but apparently they might still detonate. Thanks, John Morton

    Underwater headphone rcommendations, please

    At some point, I am guessing that manufacturers beside Garrett will offer UW headphones that will directly connect to the AT Pro. What brands and models of UW headphone have y'all had good luck with? Has the non-adjustable volume issue been addressed by the headphone manufacturers? Thanks, John...

    How many AT PRO detectors have been manufactured?

    I am curious how many Garrett AT PRO metal detectors have been made. I have no idea what sort of numbers metal detectors are built in general. All i do know is that I have seen mention of serial numbers that start with 504, 505, and 511. I wonder if the three digit number changes represent...

    Please remember us in your prayers.

    I am going in for back surgery here in Kuwait. The Dr. seems very competent, and I have already prayed about this and received a peaceful feeling about the outcome of the procedure. I am certain that I will be able to walk comfortably very soon. Please pray for my wife who will have to put up...

    Reviewing the Garrett Line-up

    It seems to me that the Ace350 and the ATPRO are outstanding values in terms of abilities and value for price. I hope to purchase an AT PRO this summer when I come back to Texas. I am not really familiar with the other Garrett machines and am wondering if they might be a better choice for me...

    Please Mr. Moderator,

    Is there any way to scrape all the posted VDI info out of the messages, put them into a single thread and pin it to the top of the forum? I have been trying to do a search on VDI and vdi with no success. Ideally, a spreadsheet would be nice, with a column for notes on ground balancing, or...

    Metal Detector Market

    Friends, I am still an MD wannabe, but I have been studying all the info I can find on the web for a while now. From what I can determine, I suspect that the Garrett AT PRO is possibly the first of a new generation of very good, very well priced equipment. Many years ago, I was involved with...

    What is foil?

    Learned Detectorists, I know this is probably a dumb question, but what is the source of the foil that is often mentioned? Is it like the wrappers on fast food or something else? Is it aluminum foil? Is the shiny Mylar wrappers "foil"? It never occurred to me that there might be so much foil in...

    Water wings for AT PRO?

    Another crazy question from the wannabe newbie. I had a viral infection in my inner ears many years ago, and my sense of balance is not very good. I hope to go MDing in the surf. Of course, sometimes I just fall down when a wave pushes me off balance. If you are carrying your MD in your right...

    Spare parts kit for AT Pro?

    In your experience, what spare parts should I order when I order my AT Pro? I am a long way from the factory in terms of miles and time. The customs people here are known for being very, very slow. I was thinking that a spare battery tray, a spare battery door w/gasket and the hardware that...

    Questions from a newbie

    I have been enjoying reading the posts here on this forum, and thought that I would like to ask a question. Or two. I am from Texas, but my wife and I work in Kuwait as school teachers. I have been wanting to buy my first MD, and am leaning toward the Ace350 or the AT pro. Since I spend 10...
