So I'm new to all this and I'm looking for advice. Have an AT-Pro that I'm happy with so far and learning more each outing. I'm developing a taste for relics and have some opportunities coming up to expand into more serious river hunting. Also live on a boat so a machine that can't get wet doesn't interest me much. Looking for a machine that I can dive with, use in freshwater or salt and if it's good on land for relics as well would consider that a bonus if it can go deeper than the AT-Pro. If the depth is the same then I'm really interested more in a pure fresh and salt water machine.

Tesoro, Infinium, Excal? Looking for advice from some users. I'm probably six months from buying. Thanks for any info!
 
Sailorman,

Sounds like you all ready have a good unit for your relic and fresh water hunting. I like my AT-Pro when it's working right. I need to send it back in for repairs. The unit won't auto ground balance. I got to set it manually and the depth meter is off. Plus the pin point doesn't always work right on it. If it's not ground balanced properly you'll miss targets! Even with these problems with I still have not sent it back in yet. I'm waiting for the ground to freeze before it gets sent back. Because even with it troubles I like it for dry sand and local park hunts. The AT-Pro has the fastest recovery time I've seen on a detector so far and when it's ground balanced right it gets down there for depth too! But it's not as deep as my MXT with the stock coil 950 I like it for relic hunting. Plus I like the coil options better. For salt water and diving I'd recommend the White's Dual Field it would be deeper than anything you've mentioned. HH
 
Some will swear by the Excal, I swear by the CZ-21. Some will swear by the Whites and the Tesoro. Pick one and LEARN it. A detector in knowledgeable hands is the best tool.
 
The CZ's are hot machines!!! I was reading one of Clive's books and he was saying that he missed a high dollar item that another guy found using a unit with an eight inch coil ( I think it was a CZ ) That was in one of his Excalibur books. By the way you being new to detecting I'd recommend getting some of his books a lot of good information in them. XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I understand where you're coming from, I make my living with tools. I just want to get a feel for the most appropriate tool for the job!
