The AT incorporates a concept that should have shown up years ago and my hat is off to Brent Weaver for conjuring up this innovation - a two-in-one detector to satisfy both the beginner, novice, less experienced, and the finicky professional. In the Standard Mode the novice has an easy to learn and easy to use machine that performs like the Ace 250/350 on steroids and can satisfy their every need without having to fiddle with a yard of menus, programs, and controls.. They could hunt in this mode forever and be amply rewarded without ever switching to PRO mode unless they chose to.
In the PRO mode the oldtimers and professionals who have been at it for decades and owned and used dozens of different machines can tweak, adjust, and twiddle, this machine to their heart's desire, plus if they just want a break back to simplicity they can pop it back to Standard and take an electronic vacation back to just plain old tecting..
I'm sure Garrett hasn't included absolutely everything this detector is capable of in the manuals and videos and leaves that for the electronic twiddlers to discover on their own and I'm sure they will be in for a few surprises down the road as they become more familiar with this marvelous machine and do a litle experimenting. This detector has been a long time coming and we can thank Garrett and Mr. Weaver for an early Christmas present that I'm sure will keep most of us happy for some time to come until Garrett lays another groundbreaker on us and I'm sure that is just around the corner and the AT is just a precursor of things to come from the wizards in Garland, Texas who are finally up to speed and on their way. So lotsa luck with your new AT and may all your finds be golden and may the AT be your own personal magic wand to bring the magic of detecting back to you..
