Question about Garrett coils

[DiggItUp]

Hey guys. Upgrading to the AT Pro soon from my Ace 250. The AT Pro comes with a larger coil and you have to buy the smaller one separately which is over $100. I'm a poor student lol so I was wondering: could I use my Ace 250 coil with my AT Pro?

Thanks

No you can't. Besides the plugs are different and even with an adapter they don't work together. You need to buy AT Pro coils.

Omfg I can't afford all these coils they are expensive!

Shop around and find someone who will sell you the smaller coil in place of the larger coil!

I see them for sale used, sometimes with the 5x8 coil, sometimes with two coils. Even with the large coil the savings on a used machine will make it easier to afford the smaller coil. There are a lot coming on the market due to folks who are new to the hobby and after getting a new detector realize they don't have the time or patience to use it. Check out craigslist or the big auction site. I got really lucky and got my AT Pro for a cool $300 on craigslist. It is an early model but had been back to Garrett for updates and still had warranty left on it. If you don't mind used equipment there are good deals out there.

Maybe I'll see if I can get the AT Pro new, and the buy the coil used? Also, I wonder if Garrett includes the 2 coils if you buy from their website instead of another. That's what they did with my Ace 250.
