Its a step in the right direction though...

If the AT did not have that Awesome coil it would be a lot less detector....Now they have built a smaller version of the same blunt tipped coil instead of rehashing the 5x10 scorpion coil which is what I was afraid they were going to do for the small DD platform after seeing the sniper coil fiasco...
They are getting really serious about there detector design's....These blunt tipped DD co

Right on frank....I believe the At-Pro will be deeper on the coin sized target's..They have cranked the gain way up on the gold as you can hear...be good at looking at small item's....the H.F. machine's usually have problems seeing larger target's at depth...
Would love to try that awesome looking 5x8 on the AT-Pro.....

from my experience a quite detector is a masking detector..easier on the ear's ...makes for a funner hunt...but can cause masking..
I am sure FT will offer something new soon...

The little sniper coil is just rehashed 25 year ago tech coil..Now this 5x8 DD seems leading edge for sure in design and response...I wish FT would build a small coil on the Bi-Axial platform instead of giving us the round 5 DD...a small say 4x6 Bi-Axial like the stock coil on a T-2 would really open sites up a little more...

Who's machine that is in the vid so no worries it is set up right.....!!!!!
I believe Garrett was also quite surprised to see a small 5 inch coil get the depth it get's on the f75
You will never see the comparisons on video from them but I believe Garrett is truthfully trying to get into world class detector design .....

Nautilus is very deep in perfect soil condition's....I mean very very deep!!!and that's just on the disc side...It runs a dual mode setup...all metal in one ear with threshold and disc in the other ear when headphones are switched to stereo....there's a 2b model and an 2ba model.....
the 2ba automatically tunes the coil to the machine buy the press of a button...

and I have had a few of them and they all do it.....Say you have your ground set and then locked.....you swing along and go over a spot with a larger hot rock or mineralized red clay so where you here it in the all metal side of the mixed mode as a wamp sound and shows up hot rock -95 well if there's a good target right past the hot rock the machine can hear it but calls it iron for a few se

Gary mentions it in the review...Seems to have quite a lot of disc range between iron and foil and this is a big plus.......
Detector manufacturer's need to keep this in mind when designing detector's....
Here in the U.S. the machine's are do it all more or less and when you try to get full disc range into a single turn Potentiometer it really narrows thing's up a lot...

I notice on the roman site he said was quite small....and had been hunted for 3 weeks....he was able to get it look's like 60 coin's..and about it looks like maybe 100 or more other items/artifact's....really amazing....great part about it was the finds started coming once he tweaked it a little....

Has some neat abilities.....16Khz DD coil ....Ability to adjust recovery speed (Filter's) setting from 1 to 5.......... 5 being the slowest...1 being the quickest...

Hey Aaron....I have hunted a Beach maybe 6 times in my life so I would be the last person to ask about that....But I would imagine it takes a couple of weeks or more to replace it under normal tide patterns?
If I was on a Beach right now following Irene I myself would probably look for the real deep Canal's cut into the beach.....Maybe some Hardpan???? will be showing in those area's

Think of all the treasure's being unearthed from the erosion right now......
I remember back in the early 90's my wife and me were traveling along the Outer bank's of N.Carolina and I pulled off in a spot and walked out to the beach and you could actually see the timber's of shipwreck's jutting up along the beach looked eerily like carcases the way the timber's of

Not a lot of anything negative to say about them .....They are very light weight...Very well built with the highest tolerance part's and in a weather proof package....
They can still be serviced although they are not being built right now.....there was a total of like 2100 x5's built and I believe around 1000 or so x3's....
The best one to get is the X5 version.......

I think Lorenz uses a vlf disc circuit??I may be mistaken .....I know white is planning on doing a TDI and a Vlf together in the future also...But I a still wonder about the mag?but if it only picks up larger target probably not much use in day to day treasure hunting ?

Absolutely Dan....You went over a bust coin....I know it sounds bad but everyone of us have swung over the find of a lifetime and never even heard a peep...
I am almost certain of this.....
Masking is awful.....especially when high discrimination is used.....
I have always chased relics and have used lower than normal disc but the sites I hunt allow such.....a manicured lawn and nice pri

for the help in identifying iron object's....may not work on co-located target's but it might at least work on isolated target's in the open area's?
I know fisher used to sell a walking stick type magnetometer for like 400 buck's or so and always wanted to pick one up on the used market just to see what it could do on helping I.D. iron with a pulse....

Nice token Bob!!
Here's what I found doing a Google online e-book search.....( Which by the way is a great research tool ...whole book electronically scanned into digital files)
The company shows up in the 1915 business directory but not the 1890's one... and I did not see them in the 1950's one either so the token must be turn of the century up till maybe Depression????Lot

One thing I notice on the Spanish silver and I am far from even being a Novice on it........The readings on an I.D. meter are usually lower than the American counterpart in Silver....

and they are rare up this way....Only my second one in this area.....But I had to pound this site to come up with it...it's a Charles the III so it's between 1759-1788...and as wore as it is I would guess it circulated till the civil war...That's the time period site it came out of...

the Edge is awesome working though dense iron..I believe people comparing it to other fishers and not finding it up to snuff never really fully understood it's abilities.
I personally found it to be a deeep machine....I would not want it for walking the woods and the reason being was it was not hot off the sides of the coil ...it has a very tight footprint it's very deep but it needs
