Do you like the AT Pro? I'm thinking hard about getting one. How is the depth? The 505 Bounty Hunter I'm getting 6-8" on coins. You need to get a Garrett pinpointer it works great

I like it ok, it gets pretty deep. I've found pennies at 9 inches. The TID sucks though, very inconsistent. I've heard from respected MDers that the Omega is way better for about the same price. If you plan on doing water hunts very much then stick with the AT Pro.

the omega's tid is much better in my opinion but the at pro is tuff to beat its an all around good detector

I started out with the Fisher F2 and Fisher propointer. Just bought a Teknetics T2se and Garrett Pro Pointer. I like the relics and found many with the F2 but wanted great depth!

I have a white DFX and my Uncle has a White xlt. We both recently bought Garrett a t Pro's. The A T Pro in my opinion is much better than my White DFX and it cost about half. Kellyco is the best place to buy. I have a white pen pointer and a garrett pin pointer.

Beckley area here. Running a stock Tesoro Silver uMax and a cheap $40 pinpointer from Amazon. Thinking of getting a Tesoro Tejon down the road, and maybe a smaller coil.
