A bit of info for Garrett users living outside North America: repairs and warranty claims are handled in Germany, not in the USA.

It felt like a souped up Ace 250 because it is an souped up Ace 250, or more accurately a souped up Ace 350.   Which isn't meant to be a knock on the AT-Pro, or either the Ace 250 or the Ace 350, but they definitely are not Minelab Explorer II's

It depends on where the detector was purchased from rather then where it is.  I brought my AT from Kellyco and had it sent to me in New Zealand.  When I approached Garrett about the warranty, they advised me to send it to the USA factory if there are any issues since it was purchased from a US retailer.

Yes that is correct. I meant to refer to Garrett users who had purchased their detectors outside N. America. Thanks for clarifying.

 Hey Guys

   Garrett has section on there site called (Learn & Explore) > ( Which detector is right for me?)
Brings up the chart attached. Shows the AT Pro is recommended for surf hunting, and highly recommended for the other areas, and not at all for treasure diving. It kind of says it all don't you think? Will hunt in the surf with a little tweaking and care. That's how it sounds to me. Offers a lot features for the buck in my opinion. They have video's there on tweaking for salt water.

 Also under Garrett.com (Learn & Explore) > (On line training and from the field videos) a nice link to learn about other garrett units. It has more video's it seems under the AT Pro. Might be worth checking out? There where some tips and things I liked. Even watching the other vids gives me a better idea. That way I can work out side the box.

The more we learn the more we earn !  Wise

 Are better yet call garrett with questions. I did, there willing to talk. They build it. Hmmm....

Where you going to get better inf than to call the cook?

My 2 cents....   Teach
