Just bought an AT pro. What should I pick up to utilize this machine?
Should I get a head cover to protect?
Should I get a head cover to protect?
2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo in Garrett green with brown leather interior is my vote.
Not to interrupt the thread, but is there a site that sells the At pro that includes the 5x8 coil?
31" Sampson t-handle.
Heres my complete outfit;
Atpro W/5"X8" COIL (9x11 AT HOME FOR BACK UP)
GARRETT PIN POINTER
LEACHE DIGGER (OR SIMALAR )
GARRETT POUCH
LONG (KICKER) SAND SCOOP
PLASTIC HAND HELD SAND SCOOP
SAMPSON T HANDLE SHOVEL
12"X12" ISH PLASTIC SHEET FOR DIRT IF DIGGING IN LAWNS
CHEAP VELCRO STRAP KNEE PADS (FOR WET GRASS ETC.)
HOMEMADE BUSINESS CARDS FOR METAL DETECTING TO GIVE TO LAND OWNERS (MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER)
CAMERA TO REGORD MY BEST FINDS ///
SMALL .380 AUTO IN CONCEALED HOLSTER WHEN NEEDED//
I did get the garret pointer when I bought AT. So it seems it might not be worth getting a cover for the stock coil if it seems the 5x8 will be the coil to use in the future. Might as well get coil cover for it. If that is the case, when would I use the stock coil? Besides around town/local parks/old homesteads I plan to try this at the beach (salt) in case that info is helpful.
Speaking of tools, I am seeing the need for some type of pouch. Thinking one that has a pocket for trash and one for goodies. Also need to have holsters for pointer and small hand trowel. I did get a hardware store trowel which works fine but without a holster I am finding I have too many things to tote around.
Any advice of a trowel - I'm of the mindset - get one good one and be done.
I also picked up a trench shovel for main plugs digging. It's the style with a long narrow blade, wood handle with the tee type grip. Seems OK, didn't cost a lot but are the "special" shovels should for detecting really going to give me an working advantage - it's not like I'm spending the $$ for a holster for it.
