I got my AT yesterday after work and after putting it together, which I found to be very simple, I headed out for a quick test in the test garden. The AT hit on all my targets and did very well on one target that most detectors have a problem with. It has junk next to it and the AT pulled it out better than most I've tested. I also did some testing on all my gold and found the AT was one of the best I've ever tested for small gold. It hit on my smallest gold at a greater depth than any other detector I've tested. Can't wait to take the AT to some tot lots.
I took the AT and my E-Trac to do some testing at our local city park. This park has extremely deep targets due to many years of flooding that deposited from 6" to 24" of mud. Needless to say there are coin here deeper than current detector technology can reach. It is a great place to test the depth ability of a detector, and so far the E-Trac has done the best at this site. I started with the E-Trac to find one of those extremely deep targets most detectors will miss to see if the AT would find them. I got a signal that even the E-Trac would only hit in one direction, but felt it could be a good target because of the depth. The AT hit on the target from all directions. A very faint hit, but it was a high tone that would have caught my attention. The AT said it was 8". I was impressed when I pulled out a nice silver and turquoise ring very deep. First impression is the AT is going to give the higher priced units a run for the money.
