Dressed in my best metal detecting attire:

I had my Teknetics hat, my Fisher t-shirt, my Tesoro treasure apron, my Minelab digging tool, and my White's hooded sweatshirt on and my trusty ATPro. I headed towards the beach listening to Hank Williams sr, drinking Mtn Dew and chewing on a piece of summer sausage. Gad life doesn't get much better!!!
I have hunted 6 days in a row so thought I would take it easy on my knees and back today and hit the beach.
Good intentions sometimes don't work out. It was so bloody cold down there I could only stay for about an hour.
I tried running Pro zero mode and sensitivity maxed with 35 discrimination setting on iron and iron audio on. (When I think about it I guess I would not be on Zero mode than would I, if I had 35 discrimination??)Isn't Zero mode same as all metal??? Sorry guys for the confusion but welcome to my world... Dug many targets. I knew many were not any good but still dug them. In the picture are just a few examples. The only ones I would have dug were the coins. I can see that it takes some getting use to with operating the AT Pro this way. Many more targets and some falsing. I did switch to Pro coin mode and dropped the sensitivity down 3 bars from max. The ATPro ran the way I like to run, quiet.
It is an easy detector to use but I am finding it is going to take some time to get use to. It speaks a lot different than the detectors that I have used.
Thanks for reading and I hope this is a help to some one???
Happy trails.....Z
 
I admire your spirit!:thumbup: I like your attitude too! I put my money on you to be part of the top Garrett 10% hunters who get 90% of the the good finds.:beers:

This is cold.... :rofl:
 
If John climbed Mt. Everest he would detect every step of the way. Then stand his Garrett right next to the flag!
 
Hey Kenny thanks for your help. You and Bill S with his videos. It is making it much easier to use the AT. I run coin mode and 35 disc. set and iron audio on. When out in the field and I run across a 80 signal in the open (not surrounded by trash)I use the toe/ heel wiggle to eliminate those bottle caps. It works like a champ. Thanks again and Happy Trails....Z
 
EXACTLY! You have a handle on those caps. Even if you can leave half the caps in the ground you win! Pretty amazing with a DD coil.
 
Hey John I hope you are right because I have always been in the 95% that never gets it.:confused:
I am not very good with cold weather. You must drink a gallon of antifreeze before you go out in -19c.
I just put another blanket on and roll over in bed and go back to sleep.
Happy Trails....Z
 
And probably complain about the cold and - [size=x-large]"The AT Pro meets and beats metal detectors costing twice as much in many instances when it comes to depth, target separation etc......"[/size] :rofl:
 
A couple of months ago you were hoping for warmer weather. :shrug: You made it sound like your coil nuts were going to freeze off. :rofl:
