Unless you are going to hunt gold nuggets, there is no reason to get an AT Gold. Not a lot of nuggets in Michigan.. *

*The statement above is my OPINION, and may have no basis in reality. :occasion14:
 

The true all metal mode is appealing to me with the Gold. Runs only slightly higher frequency than the Tejon and I'd prefer the stock 5" x 8" coil over the 8 1/2" x 11" Pro coil. I will be heading to the south west next year as well.

It's a great relic machine! I have some customers say they are finding more silver with it, and it's extremely sensitive to small gold.

Already own and love the AtPro , was thinking about getting a at gold to company the pro what would be a reason to do so. ? Better depth ? Hotter coil?

It runs at a bit higher frequency and is hotter on relics and gold. It has a true all metal mode with a threshold to reach a bit deeper. It is very sensitive to small stuff.

Holler with questions or for a special Tnet deal! ;)
 

Yup

Have both, like the Pro for larger open spaces hunting, Gold get the nod in woods hunting. With this pair you always have back-up, even the sounds and numbers crossover.
 

...I have the AT Pro and the AT Gold with a Nel Hunter coil...love them both.. the AT Pro I use for coins and on the beach...the AT Gold for gold nuggets and relics... what really is different with the AT Gold is the ground balance... ground balance window...threshold adjustment with true All Metal Mode. They both punch down deep but I find that the AT Gold punches down deeper then the AT Pro. You cannot use the AT Gold on wet salty sand or in saltwater. Fresh water with the AT Gold is fine.
