I had a little time after work yesterday so I took the opportunity to familiarize myself with the ATP. This is the first Garrett I have owned. I am the maintenance/landscape supervisor for a private school and figured the playground would be a great place to start. An hour and a half later I had $1.27 in clad a couple of pieces of junk jewelry a Malibu Grand Prix token and a handful of foil, paperclips and pencil ends. I opted to dig the iron signals both to see what was being ID and to make sure it wasn't something that could injure one of the kids come fall when school starts. Its amazing what you find in the wood chips. I have read reviews saying the detector is nose heavy but I found it well balanced. So far I'm happy with my purchase. Like the different detectors I owned in the past, each one had its own language and with time Ill understand better what the ATP is trying to tell me. The 94 degrees on the playground yesterday was a little brutal. I'm looking forward to things cooling down some.
