So i just completed about 25 hours with my AT Max.
So let me tell you how it went...
As a long time AT Pro user I had high expectations for the Max — so let’s start with the disappointments....

I received the AT Max last Friday and I immediately put it together and took off for the park and balanced it straight up and turned it on and then I sat on a park bench to watch the magic....!!!

After a few minutes nothing— no little Roomba treasure gathering drones released themselves from the unit and searched the ground... awwwww
ground balance !!! DUH

After performing a ground balance I set it up and still no treasure gathering drones —
well now that my extremely high expectations have been smashed I turned the headphones on and swung the coil and waited...
No treasure targeting laser!

So i lowered my expectations again—

So after a week i found a
Shield Nickel
Buffalo Nickel
A few horseshoes
1912 wheat back penny
about a hundred different caliber gun shells
20 or 30 different caliber lead shot
Old token
Pet tags for rabies etc


and lots of junk
will upload pics later

so i do not watch the hoover boys however — nothing i found with the Max could not have been found with the pro—

is it sensitive ? yes
is it deeper ? yes

but everything i found was within a few inches of the surface
