Your opinion please. They're toying with the idea of putting up a AT PRO forum. What do ya think???

I'm not seeing any At Pro finds being posted Now, are all you northern's the only people that bought one?

I have seen very little post on finds with the AT Pro, Come on guys, post some finds, I want to see them :super: good or bad Lets see some post :detecting:

If we can get some post of finds going I'm all for it. :)
 
I agree, I'm happy to hear all the buzz about the AT PRO, but it's definitely clogging the forum for those with other detectors/questions. I would like an AT Pro forum!!!
 
Thats what I was thinking also BIll...

The AT PRO is so simple to use I doubt anyone would need much instruction and in a few months the clamor of a new machine will die down.

But ... what the heck ... it cant hurt anything and would certainly group up the posts for those interested in reading about the AT PRO.

I vote yes. When I come here I go directly to my model forum is it;s available. Otherwise I got to filter through all the other stuff to look for my interests.
 
Since so many enthusiasts are primarily interested in this newest Garrett machine, it would be beneficial for them (us) to have a dedicated site. It would be an eye-opener to see just how much participation would be generated. Jugg.
 
Yep-considering the 'open' Garrett forum is almost an AT forum already...
 
Like most things in life there are good points but also bad points...

On the good side most of the posts here on the main forum have been about the AT PRO so it will make it easier for owners of other Garrett machines to find posts about their machines.

On the other hand, it will make the main Garrett forum a relatively lonely forum if all of the AT PRO posts are moved somewhere else. A lot of more experienced detectorists are buying the AT PRO and these folks often share their knowledge with newer detectorists who tend to buy more entry level machines. I can see these more experienced detectorists hanging out on the AT PRO forum and not visiting the main Garrett forum any longer and so they won't see questions from the newer folks and so won't answer them.

As an AT PRO owner I would probably only visit the AT PRO forum.
 
An AT PRO forum on it's own would do fine, there's no question about it. However, what will be left? A generic Garrett forum with little direction, few leaders and no direction. What I think would be more practical, would be to create a new "ACE SERIES FORUM." There are a heck of a lot more ACE detectors and users out there, both ACE 250 & ACE 350, and the ACE 350 deserves a place where it can still expand, attract users and be compared to the ACE 250. The ACE Series still have a good potential to grow even more, and perhaps need a place where all questions ACE related treasure finds and comparisons can be be done without constant interference from AT Pro, GTI, GTP, CZ, Infinium, Scorpion & Pro Pointer Posts.

Setting up an ACE Forum, would remove the ACE related posts to a new area and direct most AT Pro posts, along with all the remaining non ACE & Non AT Pro issues to be debated to this existing Garrett generic forum. I have no doubt that the AT Pro is one of the best metal detectors available at the moment (and with cost aside) and has set a new standard to be compared to and not against. However, it is still a new metal detector line, and is still growing. Where's it eventually going to end? Best single frequency water machine? Best overall water machine? Best over all land & water machine? Best coin hunter? Best relic hunter? Best over all metal detector ? I don't know, but allowing it to remain on the generic Garrett forum allows it to still be compared with existing Garrett metal detector lines, other metal detectors and general discussions to allow new people to metal detecting being exposed to Garrett for the first time to get a wider representation of the existing Garrett lines. No doubt about it, it is the most commented detector on this forum, but I think removing it at this point of time is premature. It still needs to be seen with all the other Garrett detectors, concerns, and specific non AT Pro Garrett concerns can be directed to the Scorpion, Infinium & Ace forum.

Just my opinion.......I read this post last night, slept on it and these were my conclusions. Isn't great that we live in a democracy :)
 
I have to agree with John as it will make the whole Garrett forum divided and harder to enjoy.
 
I'm with John on this one.
It could be more help if separated with the Ace series.
There lots of info happening now about the AT PRO but it'll stabilize once more people use it in the coming season .
The generic Garrett forum would lose lots of its momentum.
Bought one a while back unable to use it till April too much snow and frozen ground.
 
We're too busy Pimping our Pro's ----- $39.00 headphone adapter is next! YEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAA!


Do the wiggle, the Garrett DD wiggle! :wiggle:
