Think of saving for an Equinox

[JVA5th]

I have an At Pro and a ton of experience with it, however I keep hearing the Equinox is a better machine. Not sure if it is true but I'm curious about it and thinking of saving for one if it'd be worth it. Would still keep my At Pro. Anyone have experience with both machines?

Nox is deeper and more stable in mineralized soil. One of the best features of the Nox is that it can be used for more purposes like gold (800) and salt beaches (600 and 800). I have both, the ATP is now a loaner machine. I just got an 800 on craigslist for a friend of mine who has used his ATP very successfully for almost ten years and he is loving the Nox. If you look on ebay the price of used ATPs has dropped and this is largely due to the fact that Noxes are eating ATP's lunches. Even the Vanquish is a better salt beach machine than the ATP. I liked my ATP just fine but it's technology is simply getting outdated. I see that you are located fairly near the ocean and the CA gold fields, the Nox may open up some good gold and salt beach detecting for you that the ATP just can't handle efficiently.

Thank you for the info I really appreciate it. I was reading AT Pro is getting dated. So I'm thinking it's time for something better
