Technology has changed the detector industry so much over the last 10-20 years. I still use my old White's Coinmaster Classic as a backup...it's dependable, but doesn't have all the 'bells & whistles' of today's detectors. AT Pro (IMHO) is a great all-purpose mid-range detector...happy huntin!

Saw this. I have a sovereign GT for sale. It is like 4 years old. I used it for about a year then once in awhile after that. They say this hobby pays for itself. My problem is I keep buying detectors. I have a Brand new at pro Used like three times for back up on salt beach for 1/2hour and land. It's the less exspensive model with two coils. If your interested , shoot me a price. I live in mass. This is what I have for detectors. Excalibur, Deus, ctx3030 plus the at and sovereign G.T. When I bought it. I was told that the model I have was better on the beach in the black sand. Who knows. I haven't used it. So I need to get rid of extras. Best of luck. Frankie.

The F5 does it all. It was my go to for 6 years. The best control of analog and digital. Don't forget to read Mike Hillis F5 tips and tricks if you get one. Fisher Metal Detectors at the bottom.
