I did a yard hunt, my nephews girlfriends grandparents house. I spent about three hours and found a1954 Washington, 1950 Rosie, six wheats (one is a 1910) a tiny button and a surprise buckle.
Enjoy the pix

The only dumb question, remember?

How else would I find out whether the ATP would've been up to finding these, where you were hunting?

Yard hunt nephews girlfriends grandparents

Whoops, dyslexic.

You keep getting on some killer places.

You have 3 top detectors in your arsenal and you will clean up with them at the rate your going.

We will never know for sure, unless I really start carrying that golf bag?(to do side by side comparisons) I'd really have to say that the quarter and the buckle and some of the wheats, I know the AT Pro would have found them. The Rosie was deep with iron in the hole next to it on its side. The VDI on the Deus was saying penny, but when I seen the nail bits and it deep on its side. I'm claiming no. I know from a comparison before with George (at a different site) there were at least three deep wheats I think it pulled for me. Believe me this site was iron heavy.

Pound for pound, especially dollar for dollar, you cannot beat that machine (AT Pro) But for sure, matched up in certain situations, it doesn't have a chance against the Deus or CTX
JMO.

You mention pound for pound! How does your back feel after a day of swinging that Deus? I know it extends my hunts by at least 2 hours being so light. Congrats on the double silver day! Hope you have many more

Thanks Beez, to be perfectly honest all the machines I have used I have not noticed any fatigue caused by them. I'm a very big guy and still very strong considering my physical conditions (nice way of saying fat) Just kidding!
I have noticed that with any of my machines I can fatigue my back easy if I do allot of reaching. I have learned to stay close to my targets and not reach.

Hate to say it, for now it has it's batteries out and is sitting in the corner. Next summer the CTX will be in the water.
The pro will be a guest loaner/backup machine, but respectfully so!

Have to say I've enjoyed this thread a bit! The AT Pro crowd has acted like you killed someone and are wondering how you could do sonething like that. I'm not too familiar with either machine but got a good chuckle out of the thread.
