I finally got my Daughter through her Collage issues. Worked some extra hours sold some stuff scraped scratched plus 15 percent Military discount. Ive had the AT MAX and its a great Machine, period!!!!!! I like the 800 the multi frequency.I know its suggested to use the preset modes to learn but the machine seems pretty easy to learn as far as setting some tone and pitch sounds sensitivity adjustments and I do like the reject button it works very well on pop tops Im mostly a coin shooter. There arent alot of historic battles ect fought here, I sacrifice some jewelry but I want to dial in my coin program. I gotta say its a great machine. I have posted my WM08 module and wireless headphones in the classified for a great price Im a Grey Ghost headphone die hard.....Thanks everyone for all the support and PMs this is my Tnet Family. Im back now!!!! I just gotta find some Silver. Tommy I did find alot of coinage in an area I thought I hunted out so Im pumped. Ill tell ya one thing this machine can reach down to the middle of the earth and grab a piece of iron out of Satins hands ......deep on iron!!!!!!

Thanks my Friend Ive named it Mugsy The blood hound!!!!!!
 

Good luck with your new machine !
Hopefully many great finds ! :icon_thumright:
 

Prepare to dig deep. Cant tell you how many things I have found over 10" deep with the 800. Congrats on the new machine, now get digging!
 

Good luck with your new detector Tommy. I know I like my 800, and I'm still using the pre-sets. I have found some excellent old coins, and big silvers with it already (last Fall) and dont even have a need to change the settings for now.
 

Hey Tommy, I've been a Grey Ghost fan myself, have three pairs, and I wanted the 800 just so I could use them with the WM08, but I'll be honest by saying that I used the WM08 twice, I have never had "wireless" headphones before, now, I never leave home without them, (with the detector of course) but just having that option is a nice thing to have for choice. I know you've been an AT fan, I have the Pro myself, but I tell ya, this 800 combines my X-Terra 70, Safari and AT into just one machine. When you can, I would REALLY recommend the 6" coil. Love using that thing in many places.
 

Thanks it was a long road and Big thanks for your support and pm I made it happen wasnt easy but Im very persistant Tommy

I knew you would sit idle for long congrats on your new machine was also looking to purchase an 800 but my wife lost her job at the beginning of the year and we are struggling it’s the worst
