I have had my AT pro with the large DD coil for almost a year, it has worked fine until now. When I wave, or anyone waves their hand in front or on top of my coil I get a low 50 high 40 VDI reading. I have tried this many places and it does it everywhere so I know it is not interference. I called Garret and they thought it was the coil, so the sent me a new one...... same thing! still giving false signal. I can turn down my sensitivity and it will go away but it has to be almost all the way down two to three notches. Any Ideas?

I am not a fan of the ATP for many reasons. Since falsing just started it might be a new cell phone tower or your own phone but that wouldn't explain the hand over the coil effect. If it is quiet while holding still I suspect you've got another dud and need to send it in. Garrett has good service.

Just a thought, clean out coil cover.

I used to like my at pro until I've spent $150+ on repairs over four months and they didn't help any... they claimed it was fixed but it wasn't ?:dontknow:

I hope they can fix your detector. GL and HH

I love my Pro it's been beat and totally used for 3 years now. I had to send it in once for damage and they fixed and referred it for free. Garrett's is the best
