    submerged should i worry ? or run a piece of tape over it or silicone or not to worry ? , also where the battery cap goes into

    the machine their is still a small space will water go in threw their or how can i get that a little tighter ? , and around the rubber

    seals in their should i put a little extra dielectric silicone greese ? , i know probably dumb questions i just want to better

    understand my new machine. i got it yesterday and only could go in the yard i found 20c right away and played with some

    Re: questions about my AT PRO

    The slots on the bottom are the speaker holes. If you look closely with a flashlight, you'll see the speaker cone. The speaker is waterproof.

    The slots at the battery compartment are the slots for the battery cover. If you'll look at the battery cover plug, you'll notice the silicone 0-ring gasket is beyond the slots. When you twist the cover closed, it pushes the gasket tight, hopefully making everything waterproof.

    Putting tape over anything really won't make a difference. If there is a way in, water will find it. Tape is only going to slow it down, slightly....

    Hey, the way I see it... You've got a new & improved AT Pro with a 2-year warrranty. Get out there and use it, submerge it, see how it does. If it fails, that's why you have the warranty.

    Dwight is right. Put it underwater and dont worry about it. Mine leaked after 4 months of heavy use and it only cost me 10 dollars and 10 days to get it back. The first time I took it out after repairs I had it underwater for 10 hours straight, no problems. I dont worry about it, the gold it has found for me far out weighs the problems.

    Re: questions about my AT PRO

    I got my AT Pro a few weeks ago and found some very helpful advice on some videos that are on the Garrett AT Pro site. Check out all of them on that site and watch how the experts use them.
    My only issue I have is getting enough time to go out and find stuff, but when I do get out I do find the goodies.
