I bought a used ATpro after taking 2 years off of MD'ing....I had the Ace 250 before. I was comfortable with the Ace...pullled a good $50 in clad and a few silvers with it in a few months...then lost my job and had to sell stuff to make ends meet....dont we all love this economy? Anyway...new job...decent paycheck...and i was itchin to get out there again. I liked the idea of a very similar machine, but better. I know the ATPro its a better machine than the Ace....but.....it seems to be information overload. I cant swing that thing even once without a chirp or a bing or a bong....especialy on the grass. Is that normal? Single high tones that hit at the end of a nice level sweep....but dont repeat....thats the most common...as in...pretty much every single sweep in grass! (dry as a bone its 85 degrees out) I do understand the diff between normal and pro mode...but....Im still getting that chatter in normal mode...not just pro. More info for those of you who know your stuff....Im getting around 90 when I ground balance in my local park. Thats pretty high, right? The tot lot dropped down to 70's...(and the machine quiets waay down) could the prob be very hot soil in the actual park? The situation is making me want to just stick to the tot lots...but I didnt buy the machine to just pick up a pocketfull of clad!
