How to use Garrett AT Pro in salt water and on the beach

Remember:

  AT Pro in standard mod in salt water = erratic behavior and falsing.(Even if ground balanced)

 AT Pro in Pro mode in salt water and ground balanced as you change depths, operation smooths out. Ground Balance every time you go from Dry sand, to wet sand, to knee deep salt water, to waste deep salt water. If it gets chatty in PRO Mode just ground balance and the operation smooths out. (Also you can Manual knock down the ground balance -1 or -2
if it's still a little chatty after use of auto ground balance.)  The tone roll and iron audio will help you identify targets as you learn the machine over time.

It's a learning curve that takes a few hours to see the noteable differences.

But good targets will ring out loud and clear.

 Settings:

The KEY: is if it gets chatty think ground balance.

Iron discrimination 25
pro mode zero
Iron audio on ( only use in less iron trashy areas, other wise to chatty to identify items clearly.)

Have fun hope this was helpful to you.

Your welcome Golddigger195

Another tip to remember:
 Remember also when you use the "Iron Audio" function it sets the iron response tone to what ever you have set iron discrimination level at.

examples:
With Iron Audio off/no discrimination: Low tone 0 to 39 < > Mid tone  40 to 75
      
With Iron Audio off/Discrimination set to 25 for iron  :  silent from 0 to 25 / Low tone 25 to 39

Iron Audio ON/Discrimination set to 25 for iron :  Low tone 0 to 25 < > Mid tone 26 to 75


 See how it changes the tone response when turning Iron Audio feature on.

Hope this helps it's a little confusing at first to use. But it has it's place when searching. The use of different tone response levels can be helpful. See how setting the Discrimination level for the iron trash in your area while using Iron Audio, is helpful. While somewhere else the setting would be different for thier "tone response" needed for iron.

THX for great tipps and tricks. Did anyone know, if it exists a (waterproof) quick-reference for users to learn to work with this machine? I tend also, to get a new AT pro in spring next year... in addition to my trusty old Fisher 1280X
