AT Pro or Gold?? Suggestions??

[twilli007]

Been metal detecting with my father for about 6 months now (he's been an avid hunter since the mid 70's). I have been using his backup, a minelab Quattro, but would like to own my own. I was going between the AT Pro or Gold thinking they would be comparable to what I'm using now. Any pros/cons of either or feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Depends on type of hunting you do. Coins & jewelry, Beach, Water search, Prospecting?

Mostly relic hunting coins, buttons, lead, iron, etc... old encampments and Oregon Trail. There is a stream that runs through the property which makes me like the water proof features on both.

Either machine will serve you well. Both are very capable & versatile. AT Gold has advantage of All Metal mode (besides Disc mode), which makes it the weapon of choice for prospecting gold, meteorites, & other low-conductive targets, including lead. If you are near gold country, that would be a consideration. Go on the Garrett site & view videos on both models. Good Luck on your choice, & be safe out there.

Like said, either would likely serve you well. I have a AT Gold, it's an excellent machine, the AM mode is great and would probably help find some extra items you are looking for. It does great in the water also!

For coin and jewelry hunting get the AT Pro. For Relic hunting and gold prospecting get the AT Gold.
