AtPro or AtGold ?

[Viddy]

I was looking at a machine to use when the weather sucks and I don't want to take a chance frying my E-Trac. What else?.... the ATPro!

I know the frequency is different between the ATPro and the ATGold. Plus the ATGold is more $$$.

Would the AtGold do a good job for hitting parks, yards, playgrounds, ball parks just as good as the AtPro? For coins, jewelery, clad, silver, etc?

I am heading out to Arizona for some gold this summer. I thought about getting the ATGold for that + as a back-up to my E-Trac in the Pennsylvania soil. If the AtGold does well as a general purpose machine also, I'd probably just get that.

If the ATGold does not do decent in the Pennsylvania soil at parks, I'll probably just get the AtPro, since I'll be relying on for a foul weather back up the other 51 weeks a year, you know?

I don't have the AT Gold but from what I read it should do well in parks in PA also. It would be more sens to small gold out west than the AT PRO.

Pro is better on coins! Gold better on low conductors an more sensitive! Hope that help!

AT Gold has a threshold, and deep seeking all metal mode AT Pro does not have ether of them and the price is not that much more
for the AT Gold, you will want the deep seeking all metal mode for those small pieces of gold in Arizona...

Both the AT Pro/AT Gold will work great for coins and most relics, however, for hunting gold nuggests or tiny tiny objects, the AT Gold is the better choice because of it's true all metal mode + threshold adjustments. The at Pro might do a bit better for coins and relics because the pro can be adjusted by adding or removing notches without depth loss, whereas the AT Gold has pre-programed the unit for gold searching, relics/coins or just coins, without being able to remove any notched. The AT Pro will ground balance to salt water, the AT Gold cannot be ground balanced to salt.

atp runs at 15 khz, at gold at 18 khz, atg comes with 5x8 dd coil, atp comes with 8x11 coil--the coils are interchangeable between them. atg has 2 disc patterns suitable for coins. atp disc is more adjustable for coins. atg has features more suitable for gold. Tough call.

Unless you are going to nugget hunt get the pro. Get the versatility where you want it.
