I started with the Bounty Hunter

Long star, then the Minelab xterra 305 and now the AT Pro. What I like about it is that it can be used in the water. Since I line in south east Florida or the Treasure Coast, I aim to do some prospecting in the ocean. I'm new here and I have read allot of good stuff about the AT Pro and to my shock... A lot of bad things. But I truly think its up to the user and how well the know their equipment. Can't wait to get it in and start using it. I was at the beach last evening and my search coil broke off my Minelab! I had to prefer a replacement... $165!

I think you will like it, and I do believe it all comes down to the pilot and how well they learn it too. I have no regrets with mine at all and like you I didn't want to worry about weather either. I am considering a pair of those Grey Ghost water proof headphones as my next accessory.

It's due in tomorrow via UPS. I'm taking it up to the Treasure Coast of Florida near where I live, I want to find some of those Spanish Spanish golden doubloons.

Hey Squid, I'm in Central Palm Beach County. I was thinking about going to the "bath Tub" area just over the Hutchinson Island beige on the left side. I was riding my Harley up there last Sunday and it looked promising. Have you ever worked that area?

I just recently received mine. Watching the videos helped ALOT!

I watched nearly 30 hours of videos before I even got the unit. When it did arrive, knew all about and how to operate it right out of the box. :)

My wife loves to go with me detecting, and she is a water baby, I know she would put her head underwater in a second, with the headphones on, and then look at me and go Opps... And that is why I loved her for nearly forty years... I'm just sayin'!

Well folks I received my AT Pro today. Took it out in the back yard and I can't seem to get it to stop alerting, even when held up. I just checked all the connections and all are seated well. I'm going to take it out to the beach in a while and see if I can get it working right.

If u cant get it to act right in on dry land might not be such a great idea to up & go to beach. With it ah did u try a factory reset at all just off top if my head I guess worth a try

I got it fixed. Went to a local park and I forgot about changing channels and your right about cell phones. I got it working good now. Had to watch more videos. It sure is different than my Minelab unit.. Much better I think. Can't wait for the week end!
