I am sorry don't remember who asked this nor could I find the post but someone wanted to know about the effect black sand has on the AT pro so I asked Vaughn Garrett and this was his reply.
Hope this helps with the question

Bill,
Brent Weaver, Garrett’s lead designer of the AT Pro has answered your question regarding black sand.

Vaughan,
Mineralized black-sands are a challenge for any detector. However, the AT Pro performs quite well in these conditions for the following reasons:
- The DD coil design significantly reduces the negative effects of ground minerals.
- The ground balancing function also significantly reduces the performance-robbing effects of ground minerals.
- The internal filtering and signal processing are designed to address highly mineralized environments.
