Greetings fellow Garrett fans. My AT Pro died on me about 4 weeks ago at the beach in the Outer Banks. When I came home I shipped it back to Garrett with a description of the symptoms and got a very nice reply informing me that both the control unit and the coil were being replaced with brand new components. The detector was returned to me the middle of last week and I hit my favorite site on Saturday. The AT Pro turned on as I expected it to, quiet, clean and ready to go. I set it to Pro All Metal and set the iron disc to 35 and started swinging. Within ten minutes I landed a nice 1936 Indian Nickle. One thing I love about the AT Pro and, indeed, about all Garrett detectors, is that sweet tone you get with many good targets. Saturday was no exception, I dug everything where I got that tone, even if intermittent and you can see the results from the picture, I ended the day with 18 Civil War bullets, the Buffalo nickle, an undamaged Civil War Union soldier's harness hook, a silver 1941 Washington quarter, a pocket watch mechanism base with gold wash still on it and the words H. Mason, London, engraved on it. Last but not least, a very nice 1847 large cent. This find was a great example of how the AT Pro is working. The signal was faint but clear, the coin was 10 inches deep--I measured--but I got an intermittent sweet tone so I dug it and am very pleased I did.
Garrett is a terrific company that really stands by their product. They treated he just as they always have, excellently, and the AT Pro is one of the best detectors on the market, hands down. I am delighted with mine and very happy with its performance. "Don't leave it in the Ground!" Mark
