This is something I've "found" as a trend, so this is today's find...technically.

It's been bothering me for a while, but bothering me only because I don't understand. Why do (some) AT Pro users title their finds with "AT Pro finds......." Or something with AT Pro...

Great machines, and great company. I just find this as a trend. Currently I know of four threads featuring "AT Pro" in their title. I don't see other detectors named in titles nearly as much. I assume its because they're so awesome. Please explain...

I am like Whadifind...I can't recall ever doing it, but I am sure I have mentioned it in a post. Being new to the hobby and having only ever owned Garretts, I am not going to tout it's performance because I have no experience with another brand to compare it to. The few good finds I have made in the last 2+ years, I have accredited to beginner's luck. I am sure this is true, because now that I feel like I know the ATP pretty well, the goods are drying up lol!

You definitely have experienced the Atpro not being able to get a signal, when the other detector was banging the signal..You remember that? Lol.
That happen a few times with a few different people..
But for the money, its good..

Bingo! Spot on George.

But, I can point to a few times where I compared with an Etrac a Deus and another I can't remember. I had the signal none of the other 3 could until the plug was pulled. Now how would you explain that George? I can, experience. :)

I would much rather drive a Mercedes but I can only afford a Chevy. So, I make do. When I chose mine it wasn't for the "best" of anything. It was for the flexibility without losing too much for power. Ask OBN. I found a gold chain that he could not even touch. ;)

Yeah, notch those zinc pennies out because they are junk. The Indians are too old to dig anyway. Two with one notch.
