After first reading about the AT Pro here I decided to shoot the good folks at Garrett an email. Here is my email and Garrett's reply:
Hello,
I currently own an Ace 250 and I am very satisfied with it's performance on DRY ground. However, living in Florida near the treasure coast, I do much of my hunting on the beach. I have been doing a little research on a machine that works well on wet sand / salt water and have narrowed it down to 2 machines, sadly though neither are Garrett products and more sadly, they are very expensive.
I came across some info about your new AT Pro on a MD forum that I frequent and while the AT Pro looks very promising, I would like more info on it. How does it perform in salt water? How does it perform on wet sand? Has it been thoroughly tested and bugs worked out? When will it be available?
Thank you,
Jimmy
Hi Jimmy,
The AT Pro will work great on the wet sand beaches and in the Saltwater. It has been tested and it is continually being tested to ensure that we have the best detector available once it is release in November. It is going to be a great machine, it has things on it that Garrett has never incorporated into a metal detector before. Here is a link to information on the new detector on our website. http://garrett.com/at_pro/index.htm
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Thanks and have a great day,

It does sound very promising. I will also be waiting for reviews but If it does everything they say it will do I'm on board. It will be a great mid-range detector.
