I'm no expert so I won't pretend to be.

I will say that I recently upgraded to an SE PRO a few weeks ago and it's an awesome machine but I still dig junk but not as much. I still haven't found a ring with the Minelab but I've found 5 with the AT PRO. No silver coins with the AT PRO yet this year but today I found my first with the Minelab. I'm in no way trying to compare the two but it just boils down to you having to put the coil over a good target to dig a good target. I've never had a "falsing" problem that I know of. I found more gold my first year of detecting with my ACE 250 than I've found since with the AT PRO and Minelab combined.

I personally think it's worth it for the right price. I only have mine because it was a deal I couldn't pass up. I would hold on to the Garrett though as well. It's nice to switch back once in a while or good to let a buddy use.

I just noticed my 350 dings all the time over trashy iron sites while the minelab was quiet untill it hit a target...i found more then he did hunting but he just swings way too fast and has no idea what the numbers are telling him or how the depth even works ...but while he would dig a target id swing his and i liked how it wouldnt false over every target in the ground .....im looking to hunt some rail road depo's and there trash pits for iron so id like to upgrade to something that could handle it better
