Had wanted a metal detector since I was a kid...so finally broke down and ordered a Garret AT PRO after a little research. Keep finding lots of junk and still trying to get the hang of it. Is the AT Pro a good beginner detector? I have a family farm in SC that I've hit a couple times and have found mainly bottle caps and unidentifiable stuff. Live close to Tybee Beach and have tried there a couple times. On the Savannah river side finding large amounts of brass debris and a chunk of iron plate that was about 8 inches square and almost two inches thick. On what we call the back river side of Tybee I went out at low tide and my detector was pinging non-stop in the 36-38 range and showing about 6-8 inches in depth. That was about the water level under the sand. Is that typical for the Salt Water to register?
Thanks for any pointers and I think I'm going to enjoy the new hobby. Looking forward to hitting some of the island this spring that are only reachable by boat.
