The ATX. Sanded in beaches. Deeper levels of treasure

Speaking for myself , maybe some others. I'm thinking that most of us got a Pi for boring down to deeper depths. Out in the water, or up on the dry. Course, what comes with this is the discrimination thing. My personal experience (Not all that much) while wading a trashy sandbar is this. I've hunted out an area until it's almost dark (lack of targets) with the AT Pro. Zero mode. Going back into that area with the Infinium, well the place lights up like star's in the night. After it goes dark again, I'm sure someone with a ATX could go in there and have a great time.
In fairness the Pro, dollar for dollar is down right lethal. One for instance. Detected a bad signal, but close to the right, a clean coin signal was leaking threw. Turned up a dime. Rechecked the area, the bad signal broke into a quarter and a nickel. Target separation, mixed with a little experience. With the Inferno on another day got a signal, had to be a beaver tail. But it was a little funny. Couple scoops, found it, rechecked, something still in there. Now deeper than the first target, right below. A medium 14k women's ring. Until then, something I've only read about happening.
I contribute this to a deeper level the Pi punched into, maybe a little experience too. This particular site I need both detectors to keep my saneness. Now I'm 87% that there's at least 2 honkers in this mess. Now I got to find them before someone with the vacuum (ATX) the deeper level comes in there. Lol

I'm not quite sure I understand your strategy fully. Let me try to walk through it. You are cherry picking good targets with the pro, then you come in and dig all with the infinium? It doesn't make sense to me, unless you are only digging the deep targets you are sure the pro couldn't get, and purposefully skipping anything shallow with the infinium. Because if you're just digging all with the inifinium, you would have found the good targets you found with the pro, hence the point of the pro is...? But if you're just digging deep ones with the infinium, how can you be so sure that screamer high-low you come across isn't a gold ring you missed with the pro?
 
I'm off for a little longer than a week at the beach tomorrow, I'm using the ATPro but really wish I had a ATX for this trip, the more I research the machine the more I want one. With the beaches sanded in as bad as they are it sure would come in handy. Next week is calling for some storms so it might move some sand. Just have to wait and see how it goes. :)

Well it's like this. I went in there with the Infinium. Ok, this sandbar has been a poontune party tie up for a long time. You need a boat to get there (fresh water) more dovetails, shotgun brass, boat parts, than can be counted. Sooo, after a gold ring, couple silver rings, I tryed the Pro. Cutting threw the trash the Pro came up with 2 golds some silver. This in an area that many pull tabs and such have been cleared out by the Finny. After the Pro, the Finney goes back in for any deeper targets. You got to understand that after over a thousand targets I've pulled only 3 golds, 5 silvers. This happens to be my hot spot, sad as it is. I'm not saying this is the way to hunt, but it's the best I could come up with in this area. And like I said, I believe there's better in there then what I've found. So in the morning it's the Pi's turn. Best way I can explain it is. A starting pitcher goes 8 innings to a tie. Reliver comes in and gets the win. I really don't care what machine gets the gold, just so my team wins.

I have experienced that same scenario many times. Hunting a signal-less body of water with a VLF detector comes to life using a pulse induction machine, Those who have purchased one, learned it well and used it in the right locations have done extremely well.
