Default Grrett AT Pro Bad DEEP test in the ground! WRONG discrimination in the ground!
AT Pro mix gold, silver, copper and lead with IRON in ground test!
Max deep is about 6 inches or 15.24 centimeters for coins
Never buy Garret AT Pro is real disaster!
I am extremely disappointed by this metaldetector. If anyone knows a way to get my money back from Garrett please contact me:
mail: nikileadert@abv.bg
web: www.bgdiagnostica.com
tel: +359888707108

I have AT Pro from about 1 month.When i search with it i discover that everything which i found is on very small deep about 5-6 inches.Because of this i make some tests - see this video! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfsL1I2EIww
Diferent person in OREGON USA discover the same with his metaldetector...from Garrett change his unit 3 times no result

Welcome to the Friendly Forum.. Try the test on something thats been outside in the ground for good period of time, I'm sure you will have different results..

Wow! How'd you manage to get a 30 minute video uploaded? I love how you say, "It's a lie! They lie!" LOL. Nice video. Your soil must be mineralized badly.

Don't get me wrong I still love them. I will return them for repair if needed. From what others have said I do not mind being part of the testing grounds...They will take care of it I am sure..

Straight from the owners manual:.....

The audio depth can exceed Target ID
depth in Pro Mode so it is possible to hear deep targets that
do not register a Target ID.

Guess I missed that page lol. I thought that on a few items but not all the times it did it. Next time I will dig to china just to make sure.

I dug a few civil war bullets that did this & all had the depth meter maxed out at 12" inches.. On a few items I stopped digging after I didn't feel comfortable digging any deeper...

Thanks for the tip. I will try that out. Going to try and hit the beach down at the lake before we head home. after the nice weekend maybe a few more drops. And the meter problem happened a few times there.

C'mon.......you think that by making up a bad post with a cheap video that Garrett will be embarrassed and give you your money back? You know darn well how to get your money back. Talk to your dealer!!!! Go play your dirty little games somewhere else. I hope your post gets deleted like on the other forum.

The AT isn't the best detector out there, but here are some finds from the "AT" found by "AT" users on just one forum alone. And you have audacity to post such nonsense?

He probably bought it, figuring he'd make a killing, only to find out it's a criminal offence to use a metal detector in Bulgaria without registering it.
