It was released in 2010, and since that date, it enjoys steady demand from treasure hunters all around the world. AT Pro is often mistaken for other AT lineage models, but this review will explain all the unique features of the model. AT Pro is more like the youngest brother among the three models in the lineage, and yet it cannot be called simple or easy to handle. Garrett AT Pro is an All-Purpose, All-Terrain metal detector for detectorists with medium level of skill. The device is versatile and diverse, it has a bunch of compatible accessories both by Garrett and by other brands, which makes it even more universal in use. The whole thing is powered by 4 AA batteries, and has two years warranty by the manufacturer. This metal detector seems to be suitable for gaining experience, growing metal detecting skills from medium to expert level. Control Box Iron audio is an advanced audio feature that allows you to hear discriminated iron in a way where you KNOW there’s iron in the ground. Your detector will emit very low, grunting tones that indicate the target has iron (ferrous) content and is likely trash (unless you are relic hunting for iron targets). The great thing about the AT Pro is that you’re not limited to certain frequency settings. It’s fully adjustable, which means that you can fine-tune the frequency how you see fit.

The control box has 8 buttons, making it easy to navigate and control. These buttons are as follows: You also get the latest MS-2 headphones to hear the tones clearly. This is important because the tones will differ based on the depth of the metal detected underground.Digital target ID — the 0 to 99 target identification scale offers increased ability to distinguish one target's conductivity from another. From what I have read since they ironed out the issues with the first release a few years ago 99% seem to be very impressed. The digital display shows up to 25cm+ in-depth but from the reports I can tell you that the detector can go deep, this is probably down to the new higher (15 kHz) frequency which also helps detects smaller and thinner items. With a built-in ground balance system, the AT Pro metal detector is capable of overlooking those minerals. It reduces ground noise so that you can focus on finding objects of value.

The AT Pro’s Digital Target ID system helps you find the target more precisely. Targets are shown on the LCD by number, with items near 1 being ferrous and those closer to 99 being highly conductive. When used in conjunction with audio signals, this system provides you with more information about the quality of the target. Search Modes

The AT Pro weight is 3.03 lbs (1.4 kgs). The total weight can change based on which coil you’re detecting with. 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. VDI (Target ID) – Visual Discrimination Indicator. This is the indicator scale that shows numeric interpretation of what is supposed to be underground, based on the electromagnetic response given by the target. Visual Indicator always makes it easier to interpret the signal. Overall, the Garrett AT Pro metal detector only weighs a manageable 3.03 pounds. Performance Capabilities
