ATX or DTI 2500 Pro?

[One Pin]

Hello, I don't post much but do soak up the great knowledge here. I live in a 16th century home and have used an Garrett AT Pro. In fact, it is the only detector I have ever had. I would like to step up a bit and would like to know who has used the DTI and the ATX and what the pros and cons are. I like and understand Garrett products and know for a fact that they stand by their machines if you are honest with them....that is a whole different story!

Thanks,

DTI and ATX are impulse machines they don't discriminate, give size or tell depth. They will give a signal on very deep metal items. They are very good detectors for relic hunting and gold prospecting. However many people who bought them for coin and jewelry hunting are disappointed. Try to find someone that has one and knows how to use it. Se3e if they will let you try it out, to see it it's for you. With an AT Pro in Pro zero mode and a NEL coil with Grey Ghost headphones 10" dimes are a reality. 12 inch quarters, " IHP and 13" Halves are all possible.

May not be what you are looking for but I also stepped up from an ATPro. I also hunted in pro zero mode. I ended up getting an XP Deus and it seriously makes the ATP seem antiquated in comparison. You have the ability to operate across for different frequencies from 4khz to 18khz. It is also has the fastest recovery of any machine out there. The ability to tune it to the specific site conditions and to the type of hunting makes it the most versatile machine out there in my opinion.
