I should be getting it next week and will tear up the grounds I have dried up with the AT pro. I will test this machine out and see what if anything the ATpro has missed. I have hunted this school to no finds over 2 years. The outlaw has a big task coming. Stay tuned!!!
 
I am staying tuned and can't wait to see the results of this!
 
I would say both machines are very close, but i would like to hear your input,
 
Hi Stix I have the AT Pro and Gold and love them both they are incredible detectors. You are going to love the Outlaw it's a great compliment to the Pro. Plus it's always good to hit a site with different technology, it may just see things a little differently which could mean some more good finds. Good luck let us know how you do.

This will indeed will be a big test as this area I am testing is very old. Not much traffic where I am detecting. There has been silver but not alot. What has the AT pro missed. You can check my posts on this school. The test is coming. What did I miss????

Serously though this will be fun. I have detected this area to nothing but fresh drops. Oldest I have found was 2 silver quarters dated 1910 and 1895. School though has been there since 1840. Been a private school with no detectors allowed. This year I am finally granted the whole 10 acres not just .5 acre as I proved my holes are not seen!!. I cannot start detecting the off limits area till june so I have a alot of time to pound the old grounds!!!


Both detectors will be on site for a video side by side. I am not great at video but the AT pro has been my gem. The outlaw is my new toy. Let the fun begin!!! I will be going over the first half acre first. to see what if anything I have missed. The half acre may not seem alot but I have beat it to death. Then its on to the new with both machines in tow!! Sorry if I seem excited to me this is just fun!!!
 
I'm Tesoro shopping myself but still researching and head scratching over it but have it narrowed down to a few machines. I also have the AT Pro and while I don't have a particular site that I have beat to death by any means, I am anxious to see what turns up where I have been and how the Tesoro will hunt alongside my AT Pro. I'm partial to Tesoro as I've had more of their models than any other brand and they are what I cut my detecting teeth on. While I think it's a good machine, no matter now much I swing this Garrett nor what it has found for me, it still feels uncomfortable to me like driving your buddies vehicle for a day or breaking in a new pair of shoes whereas the old ones are comfy and fit like a glove. Keep us posted and we eagerly await your results!!
 
My son seen this post and again reminded me that it will be US hunting the school. He is just as excited as he would come and watch. Now he can join the fun.
 
Congrats! i think this is where the Outlaw has it's purpose. Once you clean up with a VDi machine come back with the Outlaw. You will absolutely notice alot more depth. I don't like the non metered machines for my first hunt in a new place unless I'm really aiming for gold. I like using a metered machine first picking all good targets as best as I can then repeat with the Outlaw. I've tried to hit new spots with the Outlaw first and it's just to frustrating trying to determine good from bad targets in trashy areas. But you will be surprised once you "clean up" with the At pro then repeat with the O. Those bouncy signals on the vdi machine you left behind will still sound very good with the O and you'll dig and be very surprised you missed them the first time. It's really, really sensitive to small targets!! Keep us all informed!! Good Luck..

I am certain that the AT Pro, or ANY make and model, is going to be used at a site where coins and relics can be recovered at a later time .... but it's not always the other detector that finds them. More often than not, it is the detector operator who is guilty because just din't take the coil over the target, or they swept the coil too quickly, or they had the settings at less than peak performance.

The only way to know if the Outlaw (or any detector) finds stuff the other detector (the AT Pr in your case) missed, you have to take the AT Pro (other detector) with you and then once the Outlaw detects a target, use the other model prior to any recovery effort. That way you will know if the first unit missed it or if you were guilty. So, take them both along on several trips, compare them side-by-side, THEN recover the targets and give us report. That would be honest and beneficial.

Monte have you had a chance to put the Outlaw through the ringer yet? I know you mentioned you would be doing it soon and don't know if maybe i missed the post somewhere. Just wondering.

Fred
 
Monte is 100% right in his above post. I hunt behind myself with the same detector and still find stuff. :)

Coming at a target at a different angle and speed makes a difference. There are a lot of other variables as well.

Jesus man it was meant all in fun. I didn't think it was so serious here. My bad I'll go back to the AT forum. I was planning on taking them both and finding targets to test them on. More over it was just a friendly post to have fun with. Sorry to offend.
 
No offence bro i did not take it that way , I think monty has right , one of my favorite things is to see side by side comparisons, Carter does that on the Vista Gold forum its really cool He pitted the AT Gold against the Vista Gold , and thou the vista was deeper i found myself very impressed with the AT Gold so he sold me on two detectors.
 
No one is offended or being overly serious. Heck I was even poking fun at myself for missing stuff. :)

Drink another cup of coffee and take a deep breath.

I don't think any of the replies were meant to offend; just to advise so please don't take offense. Besides, the AT forum is soooo boring! All you read is over there anyway is praise and worship to the supposed all mighty AT Pro and some on the AT Gold now that it has been out. At least here you have several models that you can read praises about plus the oldies that aren't in production any longer! Some here are much more serious than others but I think it translates into a passion for the hobby and the tools of the trade; not out of disrespect or anything. I'm still very curious how you will be coming along with the Outlaw and what your results are from using both machines in the field. I take it a little more seriously in this case as I own an AT Pro right now and am looking to get into another Tesoro soon, so that's one of my vested interests in such a comparison. If you hunt that Outlaw right behind that AT Pro or check targets with both and the Outlaw finds things the AT cannot or it misses then I might need to spend my money on an Outlaw sometime. Some are just giving advice to help you compare the two models in a "fair test" that simply means same target, same conditions but different detectors for a good comparison. Again, I'm happy you got a new Tesoro, I think they are great and I'm interested in hearing how you do with it as well as your thoughts on this detector versus that detector so hope to see you stick around. :thumbup:

I guess I take this more as a fun hobby. I did say I was gonna take both on site and compare. I was excited about a new detector so I was having some fun. Monte's post just made it seem like I am a dope. Could be he just likes to cut to the point. Fair enough. Both will be in tow and I will recieve it today.

I am not going anywhere. I am here to enjoy the hobby and share my finds.
 
maybe you just misread things. We are all very interested in the outcome of your test. It's fun and we always learn something new, no matter how long we been at it. Don't leave us now. You can't leave us hanging! Monte is very passionate and a very knowledgeable individual. I value his advice and ideas as well as everyone on here. We have differences....but that is ok with me..
