Been metal detecting for about 8-9 months, have a Garrett AT Pro. I mostly hunt for relics in eastern NC, farm fields, old house sites, civil war sites. I usually run in Pro Zero mode, 28 iron descrimation, iron audio off, sensitivity 2 back from all the way. I dig a lot of aluminum trash. If it is a whole can, or almost, I usually know it's junk by the erratic number and a squelchy sound at the beginning and end of the tone. But smaller pieces that ring up 40 to 75 can have a consistent number and seem legit. Any advice on settings or techniques to dig less aluminum?
 
Yep - what Jackalope said. I have the AT Pro and have used it for thousands of hours over the last 6 years. If you are relic hunting and digging everything above the iron range, then you will find aluminum. No way to avoid that.
 
Thanks, appreciate the replies. I will say it’s an addicting hobby, I’m loving it.
I dig modern trashy sites and notch out 54 to 70 there about to reject lots of cr@p!
But when hunting tot lots I run it wide open with iron audio at 40.
Happy hunting!
