To make a real long story short, my brother, the arrowhead guy, hearing of my dilemma, bought me a brand new Garrett AT Pro for my upcoming birthday in November. Not only was I surprised, I was almost in tears! He told me he wanted me to have a machine that I can take out in any weather and do the rivers and such as well.
Now my SE Pro still works, but I have no discrimination whatsoever. No Reset, No Smartscreen, No Threshold Tone, No Iron Mask. Everything else works. To be very honest, I left the SE in my truck 24/7 and I was caught out in the rain and T storms, snow storms several times. So somewhere the board has a fault. I'm going to call Minelab and beg them! Wish me luck!
As far as the AT Pro is concerned, I had one for about 3 months of use in the Fall/early Winter prior to my purchase of the SE Pro in the following late of winter. So I'm not really a newbie to it. I can say that compared to my Teknetics Delta 4000 it's a considerably better machine. And being waterproof to 10 feet will turn me into a water devil quite quickly.
I had to be a little careful today because it didn't come with a coil cover. I ordered one immediately! So I stayed on the dry grass in a park I've done a million times. About 4 hours as the 20 mph wind was the only thing that kept me out in this heat of 89F today.
Not too bad after not using one for 3 years or so. 2 wheats, a plated tie clip and what I think is a hammered down nickel/penny in the lower right corner. And I remembered how well the AT Pro is at letting you dig pull tab after pull tab in the hope for GOLD!!!
Have fun out there guys and gals and HAPPY HUNTING!
