Everyone,
I bought a used AT Pro off eBay and received it a couple of days ago. The user said that it had been used once. Sure it was. Anyway, I got it and opened up the package and saw a pristine AT staring back at me. It came with a great case, coil cover and goodie bag.
Today was the first day I could use it. I only had 90 minutes. Grrrr.

IT WAS AMAZING. I covered ground that I had cleaned and was pulling coins out left and right. IT WAS GREAT seeing the number 85, 87 for quarters ...... I'm Giddy.

It was like metal detecting with blinders on with the 350. Don't get me wrong I love the 350 but the AT lets me do it so much faster.

I pulled 1.97 in clad today.

Hmmm. This is interesting. I'm running an ACE350 now, and thought really the only thing I would be missing was the waterproofing. I dig pretty much any questionable signal, and only do city parks. Are you faster simply because you're able to skip trash?

Yeahm the scale of signals is expanded and the signals are definitely more. In pro mode it picks everything up. The area I was in is really trashy and the 350 gives an overall signal when I am swinging for iron. The numerical output tells me where on the scale the trash is in smaller amts. It also sounds off for each of them. The coins all popped off in the 80's and above where the 350 would have given me a tone and a signal teetering in the aluminum trash area. Its like haven driven a ford fiesta and then renting a mercedes. The driving is the same but a whole lot more comfy.

So true. I buy frequently on Ebay and haven't had any problems yet. I do check their reputations though

There is nothing better than a nice hard, firm tool to get the job done. I don't know what I would do without my AT pro
