Took the AT Pro Plunge

[Dr. Witty]

I took the plunge and ordered a new AT pro from Barts. Got the Lesche as well as the 5X8 coil. In hindsight it would have been nice if I ordered the t-handle Lesche Samson instead since I already have a Lecshe, but none of my treasure hunting pals have one, so they can use my spare. I'm grateful to Bart's for giving me a killer deal on the package, and cant wait to detect with this setup.

Excellent choice, Doc. You will not regret it.

Yup. Agreed.
The ATPro is a great machine. Mine is well outta warranty and not a single problem.
Learn machine in pro-mode. It may take a bit longer, but well worth it.
Keep us posted on your progress.

Peace ✌

Sound decision to include the 5x8 coil. I prefer to use my AT in pro zero. Good luck.

Congrats as you got a first class setup from a first class no bundles guy!

Hello Doc,

The AT Pro is a fine machine, I use both the AT Pro and Gold for relic hunting old historical places. As the others have stated, learn the pro-mode to get the best out of the machine.

The settings I use: Mode: Pro, iron disc: 15-23 iron audio: on (very chatty, but I like it) and Sens: one notch from max. I do change them depending on the site and type of hunting.

Regards,

Doc

Well, I've had the AT Pro since last Wednesday and I'd just like to say that this machine is AWESOME!! I love the advanced features of this detector over my Ace 250. So far I'm operating it in Pro mode, coins setting with the iron at the default 35. I don't want to find iron so that my reasoning behind that, but if I go to zero mode and lower the discrim. down to down to 15-23 like the Professor stated can I expect to find more of the good stuff, or is that more geared towards relic hunting? I have the 5x8 coil on and have not even tried the default coil. I've already found a silver ring at the beach with this thing, nothing too spectacular, but it was a cool find. Next week I will be heading to Upper New York in the Thousand Islands to search for my friends mom's engagement ring that she lost in 6 feet of water. She was sitting in her boat at the dock and when she pulled it off (for some strange reason) it popped out of her hand and into the water. It's been down there for 3 years. I plan on bringing my scuba gear, and I plan to find this ring. I'll keep you posted.
