I Got One Too!

My AT Pro was waiting for me when I got home last night - along with a Pro-Pointer and a Lesche digger! :clapping: Thanks to Bart at BigBoys Hobbies for the good deal and fast shipping! :thumbup: I didn't have any time to do more that put it together and turn it in.

I haven't noticed any glaring problems with it yet. It doesn't seem to false when I shake or bump it (the serial number starts with 511). The dimmable recessed lighting in my family room made it go nuts, though, but I suppose that's to be expected. I did take it outside for a few minutes before it got dark. It didn't seem to want to ground balance the first time I tried (no varying tone when pumping it, number stuck solid at... 90, maybe) ... but perhaps it just happened to be pretty close to balanced when I turned it on (?). Later, I tried again and seemed to act like I expected and balanced around 80. Probably a "user issue". I'll give a better report after I have a chance to play with it a while. I'm taking off work tomorrow specifically to spend the day messing with it and seeing how it does.

I'm pretty much a noob, currently have a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV and have only been out about 20 hours with it. I'm still trying to find decent places to hunt and have only found about $10 in clad and one silver necklace. I guess my interest is mostly old coins, not so much in racking up clad or beach hunting. I'm hoping the AT Pro will increase my odds, but I suppose the most important factors are: the user's ear, persistence and patience... and what sites he can find to sweep over. So I'll be working on those things as well as learning the AT Pro. Wish me luck!
 
Bart's the man, he hooked me up too. I won't ever deal with anybody else. My ATP acted crazy when I first got it also. The lights in my garage made it freak out, then I took it outside and it was still going crazy. I also had issues with the ground balance. I put the machine away until I got home from work the next day and tried it out in a field I had been hunting, it worked great the second time. I have to say the ATP is kind of a different machine compared to the other ones I have used, it has a lot of audio signals that I'm not use to but after some use you will figure out exactly what it's telling you.......Bill in NC
 
Alright!:super:Congrats on the new machine!:garrett::detecting:
We love our AT Pros over here!:biggrin:Fantastic machine!:clapping:
I've been usin' Garretts since the eighties and I must say, this AT Pro has impressed me the most by far!:wiggle:
Happy Hunting!:)
