    I have a sand scoop for sale that I made for my Outer Banks, NC vacation this year if anyone is interested. I used it for a week and it worked perfectly!

    AT Pro O-rings/seals...

    When you got your AT Pro did you notice how the O-rings in the headphones jack, coil jack, and battery compartment had a slight lube on them and it slowly wears away after time? Water can get into the smallest places and nothing can fry a good detector like a little bit of water. When I was...
