Thread: New to detecting, just saying hi.

    New to detecting, just saying hi.

    I got interested from watching videos. Then looked for a good metal detector. I chose a Garrett AT Pro. I now have it and am planning my first trip.

    Welcome from Illinois!

    The AT Pro seems to be a very popular machine and many people have lots of success with it. Be sure to let us know how it goes!

    Best of luck!

    Hey IDigThat welcome to the forum, the AT Pro is a very good machine once you learn the ropes of Pro Mode. In fact, I use it myself ! Good luck on your first hunt and remember this isn't just about the finds this is mostly about the fun. HH

    Welcome aboard IDigThat. Great name & awesome machine. I use the same & am having a lot of luck. I suggest a while in Std/Zero for awhile, then go for it in Pro/Zero. You are gonna have a lot of fun.

    Thanks everyone, I normally have the habit of leaping before I look. This time I am watching the videos and preparing the best I can. Once I get going I'll keep you posted.
