GARRETT AT PRO TESTS Comments A very popular detector, I can tell by the amount of covers we sell, it must be one of the biggest sellers ever. Not my thing at all I hate the audio Problems to look for if buying a secondhand AT Pro Control box snaps off the stem, worth unscrewing it to check if the locating tubes of plastic on the underside are broken. Check if the Pinpoint works Check Camlocks on stem Check to see it retains the settings Pros Excellent performance The 8’’ x 5’’ Coil is excellent for a coil this size Cons Horrible scratchy signal, Headphones and Coil a pain to connect unless you have small nimble fingers Feels heavy, not a great balance |
|
DEPTH TESTS The depth tests are set up to gauge the power of the detector, all iron is removed from the hole. Various size items are buried at good depths |
