Minelab was ask what they were coming out with to compete with other Companies. Guess like Fisher, Garrett, Whites. Because they have jack their price's so high. They said a All Purpose Detector. Now what that means your guess good as mine. I would take it AT Pro, T2, other brands are taking their toll on bottom line. This was ask at their Share Holder's Meeting. Minelab is owned by CODAN and the machines are made and tested by PLEXUS which is TOP of line company I was going to buy a Gold Detector lived were their was gold GPX Best. Fork out $5000 or E-Trac cant beat it on silver other thing's. X-Terra line make it water proof and set it up like the Whites VX3 were use one coil. Got a big winner and price it right.
