some snow bound at pro testing in the house today

I am guessing that the AT Pro in it's lowest sensitivity has less output in both Standard and Pro mode then the SE in it's lowest sensitivity. The SE is using a smaller coil, which would make it more sensitive to those sizes of targets. I am predicting that if you put a smaller coil on the AT pro, you would probably get a signal on that cross too. If you up the sensitivity on the AT Pro you should get a better signal also.
 
This is not consistent with what little testing I have done and the videos I have watched of other tests. Just wondering, why did you only test with the sensitivity set at zero? It would be interesting to see a similar test with the sensitivity set higher. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and post it.

Rings "look" like coins to a MD. Those crosses are thick but may be just too thin to be detected on 0 sensitivity. Cranking up sensitivity on most MD will alow it to be more sensitive to very small thin items. You may want to try a teas with a small ring of foil. Test it and than make a break in it so it no longer forms a complete ring and test it again. I think that the detector will "see" the ring as a whole but no when it is broken.
Crank up the sense and the detector may see both.
 
Was the SE's sensitivity at zero? Did you try with the ATpro's sensitivity at a higher setting? Try same size coils? I do know the ATpro hit a gold chain nice as well as a tiny ring last week.
 
Generally there isn't a 'set' point of sensitivity between different brands (or even models) of detectors. Even the sensitivity control can be either linear, logarithmic, or something else. That really skews results. I'd really be interested in seeing how the detectors compare at maximum sensitivity. Also, like John mentioned, there is somewhat of a coil disparity. As an aside, I suspect that, as previously mentioned, The AT Pro does have a lower minimum sensitivity due to it's sensitivity to small, low conductors. It could cause problems in certain situations where there's a lot of trash, due to frequency/sensitivity. ..Willy.
