I took my new AT Pro out today and was amazed at what all it did. It discriminated very well, and went DEEP... I was shocked at how deep it went. Found a wheat penny; an old stone chisel used by the WPA; an old spoon; and several other odds and ends. The only issue I had was my buddy came with me and he has the AT Pro as well. When we were fifteen/twenty feet from each other, they would go crazy! We tried to ground balance them but it didnt help much. But it was no big deal. I see why there are so many great reviews on this machine!

You can change the frequency on the at pro when hunting with someone else press the pinpoint button hold it in and use the sensitivity button to change it

Thanks oakhunter. I had forgot about changing the sensitivity. I love it so far. I detected from about 10-5 today and am wore out. I hated putting it down.

Thanks again oakhunter. We detect alot together, so we need to get it figured out. So as long as one of us changes frequencies it should be good? Will the frequency change affect the effectiveness of the machine?

No it's too small the frequency change you still won't be able to hunt side by side but your detector won't go haywire

Garrett put out some new training videos for that AT Pro that are much easier to understand and offer a BUNCH more information than their originals. If you haven't watched the new ones, check them out, they're great!

Try changing the frequency the at pro has 3 different settings so that you can get almost on top of another detector and not pick up any interference. Got my at pro for Xmas and love it excellent purchase enjoy!

Thanks for the information on the videos. I had watched a couple on Garrett the other day, but I will make sure and watch the new ones.
