Garrett at Pro Metal Detector, Multi-Colour, One Size

Product Information

Many metal detectors will determine how much iron is present in a potential find, even whilst it’s still in the ground. This is a useful feature to look out for, since items with high iron content are more likely to be nails than ancient coins. It can save you a lot of time in your search if you don’t have to excavate every iron nail you find. Single-button operationfor Power, Retune, Sensitivity adjustment (3 levels), and Silent Mode(vibration only). Proportional audio on Pro mode sings a variety of tones (all non-screeching) when it discovers a target. It’s your job to figure out what these audio tones mean in terms of the target shape, conductivity, and depth. Use the clear instruction manual to save time.

Coming with a free folding spade, this metal detector is splash-proof, making it suitable for use at the beach or by the river. Bear in mind that it’s not waterproof though, so the coil shouldn’t be submerged. Hi Steve, thank you so much for this article…. It’s helped me a lot as I’m just starting out and am doing this for my Dad really. Dad and I have had an interest in many things such as old coins and stamps etc…. We have collected for years but unfortunately I’ve just finished cancer treatment and dad has Alzheimer’s so neither of us are fit as a fiddle (at the moment). It has pre-set factory modes so you can detect straight out-of-the-box. The pre-sets are all-metal, jewellery, and relics, plus a custom function for more when you’ve got more experience under your belt. The custom function means this detector suits not only newbies but more experienced detectorists attracted by its price tag too. The Garrett AT PRO is ideal for use on the beach, especially due to the submersible design. You can use the metal detector in bodies of water that measures up to ten feet in depth.

Note that you will find somewhat credible information on the net that claims the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT is a submersible 10 feet detector, but I can attest to the former claim based on the manufacturer’s description. Bonus1: See my post on AT Pro vs Fisher 75 if you want to know how the AT Pro fares with a similar detector from another brand. The F75 is Fisher’s multi-purpose VLF detector. The Garrett Ace 440i comes with a strap-on rain cover for the main unit, a camouflaged swag bag and a pair of cool Garrett-branded headphones to keep all that beeping from bothering others around you. It’s a fairly pricey model, but its practical, time-saving functions will save you a lot of unnecessary digging. Top premium buy. The device features three sensitivity levels, which are adjustable due to differing locations. More so, it has a single button for different operations, including sensitivity adjustment, power, stealth mode, and retune; thereby, avoiding the con of a high learning curve to use the detector.

perhaps you are looking for a metal detector that is capable of handling all terrains. It’s always betterto try Using the different ID profiles provided, this metal detector can be optimized to search for specific items on various terrain; for example, it has a beach mode and can be tasked to find objects of high or mid conductivity as well as gold. Iron discrimination may be the first to try as it helps you weed out Coke cans and nails. Waterproofing The best metal detectors are able to determine how well the items conduct electrical current and this allows them to tell the difference between coins and foil. Searching for more general items – coins, jewellery and relics? The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT, on the other hand, features one-button with multi-functionality. The button can be operated for power, sensitivity adjustment, retune, and stealth mode.

What Will The Garrett AT Pro Find?

The ACE 250 weighs 1.2 kg and is so well balanced it can be used for hours. Its weight is mostly in the control box at its handle, and the telescopic pole is easily adjustable to suit your height and ability to stretch. No matter where you’re hoping to go searching, this Garrett AT Pro Metal Detectoris one of the best metal detectors around. With ‘AT’ standing for ‘all terrain’, it can identify metal and assist in the discovery of great finds whether you’re in the garden, at the beach, or searching in shallow water. The AT Pro will effectively search in all soils, sands, freshwater, and trashy areas, but it won’t perform well in salt water or on wet sand. What Will The Garrett AT Pro Find?

I’ll start off this review by saying the AT ‘All Terrain’ range is the pricier end of Garrett’s offerings and it contains the AT Pro, the AT Max and The Garrett AT Gold. When you detect a target with your regular metal detector, you can take out your pinpointer to zero-in the target’s exact location. Hence, a pinpointer is a handheld metal detector that treasure hunters use to pinpoint (as the name suggests) their targets. With a pinpointer in hand, securing your target from the dirt where it is buried becomes easier and faster. You can definitely do without a pinpointer but ignoring this crucial technology is like walking miles to talk to a friend because you don’t need a phone to communicate. Although people have said it isn’t by any means 100% accurate it does work to a degree and gives you a higher level of confidence to what is located on the ground. It would be a good idea when you begin with the AT Pro to document the ID numbers next to what the find was. It has also been used a lot by other detectorists to locate missing items, let’s say for example a lady loses one of her earrings.Priced mid-range the Pro holds its own against others in Garrett’s AT range – in fact, it’s the benchmark. The control box has 8 buttons, making it easy to navigate and control. These buttons are as follows: If you’re after an excellent metal detector that won’t break the bank the Garrett ACE 250 is worth consideration. It’s a step up from Garrett’s entry-level ACE 150 with extra search functions and more technology. This is the same as other coils offered as standard on Garrett AT machines and will get you started, but the time will come when you want more coil options. This is a fully waterproof machine which is, in my opinion, essential. Many detectors have waterproof search coils, but not all have a waterproof control box.
