    Thinking of going back to the AT platform

    I have to say, I'm with you. I just bought an equinox 600 with both the 11" coil and the 6" coil. I am trying to learn it, but it is really difficult not to just put it down and pick up the old reliable AT Pro. I am considering trading this setup for a max too. It's a shame. I had really...

    Well, I did it again...:rage:

    Anybody know if I can just order a replacement front cover for the at pro without having to ship it back to the factory? This was one of the first ones, and is way out of warranty. I have this bad habit of kneeling by a target, putting the detector down, and then pulling my lesche out and...

    Need some info on a VX3

    Hey guys, I have one of those argument starting questions.... But that isn't my intention. I am thinking about getting a used whites VX3. My main detector now is a garrett AT pro. Has anyone used both of these machines, and if so, can you offer the pros/cons to each? I'm not concerned about...

    AT Pro VDI # on silver quarter?

    Hey guys, finally got out today for a little bit of beeping, and dug a '45 washington quarter, that registered a solid 81. I had been playing around with the ground balance, dropping 10 points lower than it automatically balanced. Normally clad dimes come in at 81, with silver dimes coming in...

    Garrett Service- Five Star as usual!

    I'm sure the guys at Garrett cringe when they see a box from me. I knocked a deep gouge in the face of my AT Pro (again) and finally decided to send it back to Garrett to have the front lens replaced and for a general tune-up. I shipped my machine through USPS, and today I had a package from...

    Mystery magnifier... anybody have any ideas?

    Hey guys, I have a little trinket that I need help identifying. My nephew and I were detecting on a farm in Southeastern Canada, and we found this small thingamabob. We were unable to open it at the time, so it was soaked in olive oil for a couple of weeks. I just got the photos of it after...

    Tot Lot advice

    Well, I haven't been out beeping much lately, but did manage a '64 Rosie and a couple Wheaties. I always hunt open fields, and light woods. Lately I have been hitting tot lots, and am finding a small amount of clad, and trash. The lots here are set up as a square retaining wall that keeps the...

    Any tips for little indians?

    When I started metal detecting, my goal was an indian head penny. I know, seems like a relatively simple goal, but in 8 years, I am still looking. I have found hundreds of wheaties, loads of silver, nice gold rings, and some really strange items. I started out with an ace250, then bought a...

    Sometimes amazed at what comes out of the ground!

    I've been in a big slump lately, and not finding anything good. Today was no exception. I did find this item, which was quite interesting. Can any of you recognize it? Here's a hint... I'm glad the other part wasn't with it! HH Darren

    Man, I like the AT Pro!!

    Well, I went back to my old reliable hunting grounds, and decided to look around the camping areas. I found a '39 washington, a 1918 merc, and then the signals just kinda died off. I normally only hunt coins, but decided to dig some of the lower signals, just to have something to do. Between...

    The AT comes through again!

    Funny how things pop up in places that they just shouldn't be. This one was located in a place that wasn't even farmland until the late 20's. Was about 4" down, and rang in at a very solid 80. I was quite sure I was diggin another wheatie, but was pleasantly surprised!

    What to do with clad??

    Hey guys, I pulled out all of the boxes of clad that I have piled up over the years, and started cleaning it up. I have noticed that the zinc pennies are usually in horrible condition, and lots of the coppers aren't much better. I have been tumbling coins for a few days, but some of them just...

    AT coil suggestions?

    Well, I have decided to sell my Ace350 to buy a few more goodies for AT Pro. Now I have the problem of figuring out what I want to purchase. I want a smaller coil, but can't decide between the sniper coil or the 5x8. Most of the areas that I hunt are not overly trashy, but I have had a few...

    Got a problem with my AT... Looking for suggestions.

    Hey guys, I have been out of metal detecting for quite a while due to a back injury, but have been able to get out for a few hunts lately. On the first hunt, my AT was very noisy. Hunting at the same old air base that I have probably put 100 hours on the AT in the past. I lowered sensitivity...

    Finally!!

    Took the AT Pro out today for an hour long hunt, but decided to hunt in zero mode with iron disc set at 20. I have been in a dry spell lately that has been so bad that I have just stopped trying. Today has me interested again. In an area that I have beat to death with several different...

    VDI of 99...

    Has anyone ever found anything worth keeping that had a VDI of 99? I always end up digging flattened cans. I have never dug a silver dollar, and am not sure where they read. HH Darren

    Pulltabs....:pulltab:

    Hey guys, I know that everyone here has certainly dug their share of tabs, and most people like finding wheaties as a signal of the possibility of silver. My question is, has anyone ever seen a chart that shows dates of older pulltabs? I know that they have changed a lot over the years, but I...

    New to the CZ.

    Hey guys, I just purchased a CZ-5. I have always been a Garrett guy, started out on a 350, then picked up a 250, and eventually an AT Pro. I thought the AT was all that until I went detecting with a buddy from Florida. He let me use his CZ-5, and I instantly fell in love with the machine. I...

    Is the AT Pro coil plug proprietary?

    Does anyone know if the plug for the AT Pro coil is available anywhere? I have several other 15khz coils that I'd like to try with the pro, but can't find a plug to fit the AT. Thanks. Darren

    A new signal discovered yesterday!

    Never had a detector do this before, but the AT will signal on lightning strikes!! ( Was ringing up as a mid 50's VDI and mid tone.) I was trying to stay out to finally locate that silver coin for the day, but it just wasn't happening. Finally decided that it probably wasn't worth being...
