Hey everyone,
I got my Garrett AT Pro this afternoon and will be making some tests on it, and posting my thoughts on it and maybe some short videos on the forum in the next few days or so.

looking forward to it
Cool. It will be nice to see your results.
Great. I like the amount of iron reject that is in there. Lots of numbers to fine tune it so most iron is rejected. A lot of nice features on that machine. Look forward to hearing how it goes.
Finding relics is in my blood

Im glad you'll be doing the test. I trust your input Robbie! The AT pro just may be my next machine thumbsup01
Having fun is what it is all about!
1st test of the AT Pro
Garrett AT Pro Coin VDI numbers
Tested each coin with at least 6 passes under the coil in STD Zero mode.
Coin tested number reading
Ike $1------------------------97-99
New small dollar----------- 87
silver half dollar-------------93
clad half dollar--------------92
quarter-----------------------88-90
dime---------------------------83
copper Lincoln 1 cent-------80
Indian Head 1 cent---------76
Zinc Lincoln------------------75
5 cents----------------------52-53
War nickel------------------52-53
This was an air test to get a baseline of the VDI for different coins. Coins in the ground could have a slightly higher or lower number due to different soil conditions.

You sure have a lot of new VDI's to learn after using Whites for so many years..
Today is my day

Cant wait to see the actual in field results! thumbsup01
Howdy Robbie!
You surely got your hands on an awesome machine. From what I saw at Garrett's factory, that unit should perform as well, if not better than, an MXT. It also runs on 15khz frequency. But it has one critical advantage the MXT lacks: It can be submerged up to 10 feet of water. That opens up a whole bunch of beach hunting that the MXT can never match.
I'll be looking forward to your impressions as you work with that machine.
Don't forget to test out that pro mode too. I believe it will prove to be an outstanding machine for hunting in any terrain, any environment, and any situation.
I hope to get one myself in the next couple of months.
Blessings,

Here is my 2nd test of the AT Pro.
Garrett AT Pro VDI number test -- Misc items
Detector set in STD and Zero mode.
This is a baseline test to see the numeric scale on items normally found while coin and jewelry detecting.
Each item was passed under the coil at least 6 times to get repeatable number signal.
NOTE--Items in the ground may read lower or higher numbers due to different soil conditions, and the way the item may be situated in the ground.
ITEM VDI NUMBER
Sm. 10K gold ring------------42-43
Lg. junk earing-------------------47
Sm. religious charm----------52-53
Sq. end pull tab----------------53-55
Sm. silver earing----------------63
Sm. charm------------------------66
Med. charm-----------------------70
Med. plated ring-----------------76
Chuck-E-Cheese token-------78
Lg. plated ring-------------------80
Sm. silver charm----------------82
Sm. silver ring--------------------84
Med. silver ring-------------------89
Aluminum token------------------92
Lg. silver ring----------------------92-92
14K gold chain 21 inch---------48-50
Having used Whites detectors for 20 years it will be a learning experiance for the VDI numbers and the way the Garrett tones are. I had a Garrett many, many years ago, and the single tone bell tone, was not to my liking.
The AT Pro has 3 tones and only the high tone is the Bell tone sound. Much better !!!!!!!

Very interesting so far Dimeman.
Looking forward for more.
I haven't even started to use the different things to adjust on the AT Pro, like the iron reject, and the different aspects of the Pro Mode.
I'm in beginner mode on it, because it is different than all the Whites I have used in the last 20 years, and am trying to learn the basics 1st, then move on to the other options on the detector.
