AT Pro in saltwater - any comments

[fjrox]

When I use the AT pro in salt water, in Pro mode, the chatter increases to such an extent that it becomes confusing to determine target signals. Any suggestions as to making adjustments to the settings so as to minimize the noise? What works for you? I have already sent my unit back to Garrett for coil upgrade/replacement. Help appreciated.

after you ground balance it in the water try manually kickin down the ground balance some more until its stable, also try kickin down the sensitivity down a notch or two

I run in pro mode in saltwater. 6 bars sens I get a little falsing, 5 bars no falsing. In freshwater I use standard mode. 7 bars sens and it runs so stable sometimes I think it quit working. I found 7 gold items the first 2 weeks with my AT PRO. I'm working 7 days a week right now but I get July, August, and September off. Look out gold ! ........I live in Florida, your beaches may be more mineralized.
