[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 365702, member: 4012"] Despite some above comments, The AT Pro is NOT a good all-purpose beach detector, as it struggles with wet sand and even Garrett don't recommend it for salt water use, as highlighted in the below excerpts from the AT Pro User Manual. Their suggestion to turn the sensitivity down may spare the operator's aching ears, but only at the expense of effective detection depth. The AT Pro isn't going to be much use chasing small nuggets in mineralised goldfields either, even with reduced sensitivity, as it doesn't have a true 'all metal' mode like the AT Gold and the Xterra.
