SO IS ANYBODY HAPPY WITH THEIR AT PRO?

Mine suffers from a few fixable problems. The coil that falses . Coin hunters may experience this but hunting when in tall grass and woods it can be a distraction. As mentioned very top heavy.
The headphones do not match up well with the superior audio of the detector. No excuse for not locking the shaft down in a couple of places. Causes wobble which leads to coil falsing. Superior iron ID audio. Excellent depth on all conductors but in my minerals targets audio chops up when targets are deep. I demoed this in a video.
 
I've had my AT Pro out only twice, the first time on my own property (old 50 acre farm) which I had beat to death with my 2500 for the past full year, and found a civil war stirrup a foot deep. It was in the 20's with a hard wind, so couldn't stay out long. The second time was at an old homeplace in town where I had found a Merc, four wheaties and a few other coins and a ton of nails with the 2500. The AT Pro found me 27 coins which included two Mercs, ten wheaties and several other coins (three of which were eight inches deep under large rusty nails,) an old metal whistle and a silver ring to which my wife claimed immediate ownership. Remember, this was after several goings-over with the 2500. There is a definite learning curve, but when the Pro says COIN, be prepared to dig. I now have to go back to all those nail-infested sites and start over. This is a relic hunter's dream, and ain't too shabby on coins, either. I'm 64 years old and thought the connectors might be a challenge, what with all the negative press, but they were no-brainers, and it's not like you'll have to take them on and off every time you go out. If I had to change anything, it would be for a wider digital range for coins, as aluminum will occasionally fool this and all other detectors. I am a very satisfied user of Garrett products for 43 years, and the AT Pro is the best yet. Jugg.
 
I LOVE mine! I have no complaints now that I extended the armcuff. Otherwise I haven't missed my Minelabs or Tesoros yet!
 
I have been detecting for several years and there is a lot to still learn but I am going to use a quote from a very famous man { mabe not word for word } in my opinion, Charlton Heston : The only way you will get my AT Pro is to pry it out of my cold dead hands.... :angel: it will be a cold day in hell when you find 3 quarters 2 clad and a silver stacked together and being straight up. And I am not trying to start a pissing contest by no means. Now take 3 nickels stack them together and you will get a gold tone try it if you don't have a nugget to test with.
Now there is not one perfect detector if there was everyone would have it enough said have a Merry Christmas everyone I am going detecting :twodetecting:
I love my AT Pro and did I mention you can use it in the rain it is water proof.:garrett:

So I take that as a yes? :clapping:

Seriously the only person that needs to be happy with whatever detector you are using is you. What others say does not matter.
