OK, I'm brand new to the whole MD hobby but I'm learning fast. Currently running an AT-Pro and happy with it. But, I find I'm developing a taste for relic hunting on land as well as some doors starting to open for river hunting and old farm property. The kicker is I live on a boat, anything I buy has a chance of getting wet one day even if I use it on land primarily. Also living on a boat there is a good chance my detector is going to see some diving. Can't see buying a higher dollar machine that get's trashed because of a hatch leak or a wet ride in a dingy.
Sooooo, I'm curious about the Infinium. I understand a bit about the differences between the VLF I'm learning now and the PI system but will this make a good land use coin and relic machine? I understand I'll be digging more, no problem there, but will it hit deeper then a unit like the AT-Pro? I'm also betting it might make a better river hunter?
At the moment I'm happy with what I have but being the person I am I also know that six months from now I'll be looking to add another machine to expand my horizons. I may also be moving into the south pacific area in a few years if a certain opportunity finally opens and then it will be salt water hunting for sure and it would be nice to have something I know well to use. I trust the AT-Pro for an occasional dunking but the next one needs to be capable of deeper water work. I'll probably keep the AT-Pro as well though.
Appreciate any info you folks can share.
