You made a good choice with the pro...when I first started in this hobby I bought a , just new out, whites idx...wonderful machine...was my one and only for years...when the atpro 1st came out I thought it might be time for a new machine and purchased one of the first batch of atpros, sent it back to Garrett several times for falsing and various problems which Garrett took care of very quickly, then I got to thinking there was something better out...in the last year and a half I've went thru: xterra 505, xterra 705, minelab safari, F75 Ltd, fisher cz-3d, T2SE, Nautilus 2ba....none....I repeat NONE of them held a candle for all around performance to the AtPro...about 3 weeks ago I finally came to my senses and got a new pro and I don't believe that I'll ever look beyond the Garrett family again! To make a long story short the Pro is the BEST machine by far in it's price point and is right up there with ( and in some instances surpasses ) most of the flagship machines on the market......
