There is much speculation on the new detector. I think that Daniel Tennesse is probably the only one close to getting it right. If you pay attention to Garretts video it apparently has to be a gold machine. With them advertiseing depth and iron disc. The only thing I can see that would be worth there time, would be a PI that discriminates iron. Any machine besides that would be a waste of there time to produce. It would be nice to see Garrett throw a few more clues out there. I guess time will tell.

New Garrett

If a gold detector gets excellent depth in highly mineralized soil, and also has discrimination capabilities, then it will also be a good relic machine. Time will tell. 
The AT Pro does decent in the heavily mineralized iron dirt. It's not the best...but certainly holds its own against the other VLFs. The problem is that good iron discrimination kills you in that sort of soil because the signal strength is killed and its circuitry interprets non ferrous targets as ferrous. So the better the disc the less you will dig.
A competitors newer gold machine has sort of caught on as a relic machine for iron laden areas. It is a vlf machine with a high KHz frequency. It will pick up a .36 gram nugget at nearly 4" but stinks on high conductive targets. For example, it will only air test a quarter at 8-9 inches.
I would really like to see one of our companies in the USA put out a PI machine to give the Australian company a serious run on PI machines. I have my fingers crossed that it is what's coming down the trail from Garrett. The Infinium is a great machine in its own right but if they have tweaked it and made it more for land use with enhanced iron recognition...wow look out. Or maybe its something totally new and will stand on its own. A few weeks longer and we'll know.

well Daniel air test does not tell the truth. on wet ground it goes deeper. last Wednesday we went out with tree at pro's in a battle field here in Italy. was full of bomb fragments. we dag out one coin at the respectable depth of 35 cm. which means 13 inches. not that bad ...and all the tree at pro' bang hard on it. Garrett always do the best.
take care.

Where there's bomb fragments, there are occasional unexploded munitions. You have more guts than me...at least for the moment.

ground is full of fragments. sometime it drives u crazy....

I'm thinking this new Garrett machine will be powerful enough to pull china men right out of the ground.

No pi at this time can disc. iron. With that said some VLFs have problems also.
