You sound just as excited as my 13 yr. old son. Bought him his first detector Saturday, a Garrett 300. He has already found his first silver dime and hooked on the hobby. Congrats on your purchase it will bring many years of enjoyment. I too have an AT pro and love it. I bought the 5x8 DD coil and find myself using it almost exclusively now. Would be an excellent purchase to compliment your AT.

Garrett makes some great pin Pointers. Make sure you get one from a good source as there are Forgeries out there.

Welcome to the Hobby

If you can afford it, get the Garrett 'carrot' pin pointer.

The newer Orange Garrett is definitely a better pin pointer.

100% waterproof, adjustable, vibrates and/or just audio, etc. Much more sensitive than the original black one.

One you have one and use it a bit, you will wonder how you ever got along without it.

I'm new as well (Last July). I got the Carrot as well. It's amazing. My ATP really started working well after the last few storms. I've been hitting coins at my local parks. I also got my first ring (not silver), but still cool to find. Well second if you count a 1982 Quarter ring I found on the beach.

I'm definitely hooked on this stuff!

Cheers,

Scott
