Yep! You hit the mail on the head. The AT Pro is not that hard to set up if you know what you are doing. You hit all the key points. I would recommend everyone follow your advice to a T. The key to ocean hunting is to manually ground balance after you first auto ground balance it and to tune it to less than what it reads into auto by about 3 points or thereabouts. The ATP should then run quiet or just minimum noise. It works best in flat calm swimming areas. Wear Grey Ghost earphones instead of the crappy blue ones Garrett sells. GL & HH!

Great info! Been working with AT Pro for a long time, great machine but never reset it yet.. Couple of tips for yall: Number 9 clean your coil protector, especially after a water or sea search. Number 10 switch off your mobile phone (double usefull cause your lady can't mess up your search session :)) Number 11 high voltage cables might disturb your signals.. Happy hunting..

Thanks so much. I brought my AT Pro with me to the UK and after detecting in saltwater (bad idea with this machine, obviously) it started giving me chatter. The chatter never went away. With your permission, I'd like to make a video explaining these steps on how to fix it to my subscribers, and of course i'd give you full credit as you deserve it. Please let me know, I want to go detecting tomorrow here in the UK before i head back to the states, thanks!
