AT-PRO and similarities to some competition...

i get a big kick out of reading comments about the ATPro maYBE not living up to it's hype lol. some think it might not compete with other high end detectors. well let me say the ace250 has been beating most of the high end detectors for a long time. in an experienced users hand it will hold it's own with any of them and probably brings in more rings and coins than any other model. I expect the ATPro will be the same :)
 
Well, to those who think that the AT may "hang" with, say, an Excal in freshwater....I don't think so. Those 17 frequencies do well in freshwater, too. I'm sure that it will be a fine machine for all-around use, but I just don't see that kind of depth. I'm considering a new Garrett, but since I have an Excal, the Ace 350 should compliment my other machines. But that's just me.
 
I had an Excal II and the tones drove me nuts...Minelabs are just weird. Sticking w my Garretts. My Infinium smoke it for depth anyway.

Me too!! I really like the waterproof part... heck all the features look good and it isn't green or yellow...

One thing I would hope for in the future, if it isn't on the AT already, would be an adjustment for the modulation on the PRO side. There could be circumstances or even people with bad hearing that need a little less modulation... still, I may well be trying one of these. I am going to wait just a little but I am interested.

I really do think that a machine can give you too much info to hunt well at some places. More info is a really good thing at a park that has been really pounded but at an old homesite that has not been hunted, to much info can make you leave good targets in the ground. I think that is why hunters with beep/dig type machines will come away with more finds at a fresh site. I think the AT falls somewhere inbetween and I also think that is a good thing. It has audio choices but not so many that it becomes confusing. You have a few settings to decide on, then you hunt and that us good... I would like to be able to adjust the modulation though.

Really, I am not trying to slam the AT. It looks great to me and I really like the coil design a LOT. I hope it lives up to 125% of the hype... I hope it turns out that there was no hype... time will tell!
