AT Pro settings for the wet stuff

Would anyone who has been using the Pro in the (salt) wet sand and surf care to share their settings? Do you use different settings for the wet sand vs. the surf, or are you good to go with both using the same settings? I'm planning to try the beach tomorrow. Being new to metal detecting, I would love to use settings out of the gate that are proven by some of the more experienced folk. Thanks in advance.
 
....but it speaks in general terms. I was hoping that people who have demonstrated it's effectiveness in that environment would be willing to share specific settings. Ground balance aside as that is environment specific. Maybe something such as pro mode/coins/sensitivity 4 bars/iron audio on or off etc. Not that I would use it as a hard fast rule with no exceptions, but rather as a starter to get me in the ballpark and keep chatter to a minimum. Like I said I'm new to md. Maybe something that specific is not the type of info people readily share? Figured it can't hurt to ask.
 
the at pro in salt water, damp sand and wet wash area sand in va beach will ground balance at 13..............even up high in the damp zone

U PRO MODE ONLY...............STD WILL NOT WORK ON SALT BEACH

set iron to 35 or better........max is 40....................when target id jumps from 04 to 40 to 60 to 90 and back down............iron, bottle cap, junk......u can switch to iron auto then and double check, u will understand when u shift.................low growly tone..............if two targets are present............one good and one iron, the good will still sound off as good in iron auto.

sensitivity here in va beach............wet sand and water................max.............1 area i had to turn down 2 bars..........

there are no actual setting or programs.................u can run in custom or zero (all metals).............good beach targets...........48 or higher............pennies....75 to 81........if crudy.

silver............high 80's
gold, pull tabs, can slaw.........nickels..........mid 50's

good luck

headphones are nice, but let in some wave and wind noise............comfortable

volume only in phones......each ear
