Hello all,
I just got an At Pro on Thursday. Took it out for about 30 minutes before the snow. I started with a Coinmaster, a one tone beeps or it doesn't machine. My first impression of the At is, man this thing is noisy!
I hunted my back yard. Using Pro Zero, disc at 35, no iron audio, it made some sort of noise on every swing in some parts of the yard. In others it was quiet. I was able to get a couple decent signals in the 70-75 range. Ended up being old screw caps.
It appears that I did a pretty good job of cleaning out the good stuff in the yard and now I'm left with the rest. My question is, how do you deal with the rest, ie. searching through the trash?
I'm hoping to find a cleaner area after the snow melts so that I can actually find some coins and get more clean signals. I'm thinking that a trashy area is not the best place to learn this new machine. It's a huge difference from the Coinmaster. Now I understand why so many beginners gave up when they bought this as their first machine.
I'm also going to switch to the 5x8 coil.
Thanks in advance for any help.
