In the market for a new detector. Figured I'd get some outside input before I purchase. Got into detecting about 6 months ago with an infinium and while it has been fun I'm tired of digging trash. It seems to be a great detector but I'm after something that can give me more info about a target before I dig. The hi-lo lo-hi doesn't cut it for what I mainly do, parks and homesites etc. I'll keep the infinium for the mountains and beach trips but I want some real discrimination and some audio ranges that are a bit easier to differentiate.
With the infinium I can usually tell whats likely to come out of the hole but I've seen too many variables. Seems like really rusted out junk sometimes comes up as high lo depending on depth though for the most part it's lo hi. It seems to be more of a dig everything machine and I'd like to have a better idea when I'm on something better. Basically, I've filled two 5 gallon buckets full of nails, bolts, tent stakes, can slaw etc and maybe about 10.00 in clad.
I don't want to spend more than 600, is the at pro worth the price difference in the performance I'd see? I've got access to a couple sites that were active in the late 1800s but the amount of old rusted out iron bits and degraded old tin makes the infinium pretty useless for that kinda work.
Thoughts? Figured I'd stick with Garrett being that I have the infinium already it'd keep it simple if I needed service but I'd look at something else if there were a better option in my price range. I was leaning toward the at pro because I'm usually the buy once kinda person rather than regret it later....
