DEARS . I CAN SAY 1 THING IT'S SAME MACHINE GARRETT AT PRO REALLY I FEEL SO SAD
 
Little disappointed myself. Oh, there are a few nice and new features, but unless it gets some additional depth in disc mode ......... well, will try and keep a more open mind until actual in the field reports start to flow in. HH jim tn
 
Well Disappointed a little myself as well I will say there are some nice added features but not enough for me to get one . Cant please us all but Thanks Garrett for trying to please me . I would like to have seen a better Ergonomics design into the Detector something similar to the Fisher and Technetics design as they are more well balanced but That's OK they will sell a lot of them for the Wireless function alone. Guess I will just save my Money for another year
 
I'm interested in the "the at max was designed to work in saltwater". Ill get one as I was about to get an at pro anyhow and this does have some nice features.
 
There are some great improvements. We weren't expecting a totally new model from Garrett. Rumors from last year indicated we would get a revamped AT Pro 2 with built in wireless system. We got so much more. Garrett is always doing research and development on new improved metal detectors. One of these days a new model will be released, maybe these year, next year or 5 years. Who knows.:shrug:

If this metal detector managed to squeeze a couple more inches of depth with the same coil, that really is a game changer. Hang in there......no one has even posted the results from a field test or hunt. :)
 
So Richard the dealer was wrong in his post... The 9v battery sounded bogus.:rant:

But you know the next detector will be a killer! :garrett:
 
Are you guys serious? All that anyone ever griped about in the at pro is now better,and real wireless headphones added for only a 100 bucks more..I mean if they would have redesigned the housing and rods and put it at $1000 people would have said it's overpriced..All the at pro coils,extras all work on it,,it's a win win...I think they made a great machine outstanding,,credit to Garrett
 
I'm getting one. Love my AT pro for park and freshwater hunting. The pro hits hard on the small gold my bbs/fbs2 machines don't see, the pro is my go to favorite freshwater lake machine. Can't wait to try the AT max.

John, I hope you are right on the extra 2". We know it's going to have some additional depth just by the Max having a all metal mode. Maybe, just maybe, a little extra depth will turn up in the pro zero mode. Anyway, we will know shortly. HH jim tn
 
And a new frequency to compliment a little more depth. An ATPRO-ATGOLD Combo on steroids.Hunting at night for some just got better too.:thumbup:
 
At about the 106 mark on the video, Steve says "increased transmit power and enhanced electronics provides the AT Max with a increased significant depth increase"

Even an additional inch would be great and as you say, 2" would be a game changer. No doubt, I am going to have to give one a swing. HH jim tn
 
I like it. In the video the all metal iron audio sounded like it didn't have the high/low tone on iron like the AT Gold. The iron was just a low grunt. That would be awesome. Anybody notice that. Maybe that have been changed or I was just hearing disc iron audio.

I know we were all expecting something a little different , but those saying they are disappointed are looking at it the wrong way. The MSRP is $850 ,.....but the MAP is around $722 ......that's bigger numbers , better depth , true all metal , built in wireless , improved ground balance , backlight , and threshold adjustment for about $100 more than a new AT pro + add on wireless system. It wasn't what I expected either but this is a big win for anyone looking for a new detector or a decent upgrade from the ATP. I see no downside here.

I want one.......Im just sad its not in the budget for the forseeable future LOL
 
Except for the occasional water hunting I get to do the all metal mode means little to me. What has always drawn me to a A T Pro is its great proportional audio, being water proof and its wonderful ability to hunt through trash and iron. If the Max gets more depth in the zero mode I would be one really happy camper. HH jim tn

Bigtom123 you hit the nail on the head. They can't please everyone but there is no doubt it is a feature packed machine with improvements and at a reasonable price point. They probably just saved me about $700 or more dollars because I was about to buy an AT Gold in addition to an AT Pro so I couldn't be happier with the thought of one machine replacing two and with more features like the backlight and wireless. Kudos Garrett :garrett:
