Just wanted to post a short review about my newly purchased Grey Ghost Amphibian Headphones for the ATP.
To start with, I was very hesitant about purchasing a $150 set of headphones but I needed a waterproof set for creek hunting so I bit the bullet. I got to hunt this evening at a 1940's home place that I have about warn out (hunted a dozen times: 1 rosie, 1 merc and 50+ wheaties). First thing I noticed is that the sound of these headphones are nothing like the stock Garrett headphones that are included with the ATP. It changes the sound completely. I was very displeased because I have spent the last 300+ hours learning the tones on my Garrett headphones. Also, in my search for reviews, no one had mentioned this. Crap! Here I've gone an bought a high dollar set of headphones and I'm going to hate them. After about a hour of detecting, I loved the new tonal range of these things. The sound is pure and the separation between tones is beautiful. You can hear that distinctive rasp on the end of a high tone that gives you a better idea that the 80's signal, for example, is not going to be that penny you thought it would be. That happened over a dozen times with the same conclusion, not a penny (yes I dug those raspy signals too).
Fit is wonderful. My Garrett's would move around on my head and slip off on occasion. I did not re-position the Grey Ghosts in about 3 hours of hunting. The seal around your ear is tons better with outside interference. I believe that's a huge attribute to why those deep tones sound so much more pronounced.
Conclusion: 1 1953 Rosie, 6 wheats and about 10 clad coins The 1953 dime was about 7" and rang through clear. Now is that the reason I found those coins today, maybe not but I feel that the addition of these, in my opinion, made it easier to find those coins. Just my 2 cents.
Thanks for reading and God Bless.
