I use an AT Gold in Culpeper mineral dirt. Has a True all metal mode, but you have to dig all signals. A lot of targets read as iron!!! JMO

I've the pro but not the gold. If ur hunting relics & coins(in that order) in mineralized dirt would think the gold is the ticket. Because the gold has an adjustable width ground balance window for more mineralization, the disc isn't as adjustable as the pro but is very effective. Have read its a bit deeper and has a threshold for deep whispers + an all metal mode. It' not reccomended for salt water, but good in fresh . I use the pro for coins on land and coins & jewelery in fresh water(i got it to replace 2 of my machines-- )( 1 land & 1 water). The pro is a dandy machine with very good audio in pro mode. The iron audio is just icing on the cake. Which is best for u depends on your area & what u r going after.
