Fishingfromakayak · Dec 5, 2015

I am hoping to get an AT Pro and a Pointer for X-Mass,,,,lol buying my own gift. Any suggestions as to a good place to get them ? I would like to get them as a package to save a little if possible. I have looked around and they all seem to be very close in price. This would be the first time I buy one online so I am a little nervous about it. any help/suggestions/recommendations are welcome. I live in Massachusetts. If you dont want to post it feel free to PM me, thank you for looking,

Dealers are required to advertise in accordance with the MSRP.

On the phone you'll find they have a little room to play.

Your gonna love your AT. If you used any of the Ace serious then I'd suggest starting right off in Pro mode on the AT pro.

i agree. the pro mode is really easy to master.
after just a few hours of using the ATP it felt like i had used it for years.

just bought my AT Pro from Kellyco and got a pointer and starter kit for free, came in at just under $600. Starter kit had detector bag, hand shovel, and some other trinkets. The pointer was free with the BOGO deal, they give you a code you have to enter at checkout to see the markdowns.

I do all my business with Metaldetectingstuff. Wayne and Doug will take care of you. I live in NW Ohio and they are in Texas and I order from them because they are cheaper than the shop closest to me and have become friends of mine. Great guys give them a look if you want you won't be disappointed.

Fishingfromakayak · Dec 15, 2015

Thank you ALL for your help. I called and emailed several places and I ended up getting it at KellyCo. I ordered it friday and got the AT Pro along with a Vulcan Pointer + the regular free stuff, for just under $600, it is currently in a FedEx truck passing through PA as I write this. Again thank you all for your help.

Well first day out today with the AT Pro. It worked well as I had hoped it would. I had trouble using it to really pin point the coins location but it will come in time i am sure. I am very happy with it. It is the first time I use a DD coil. The Vulcan Pin Pointer must really be close to the coin for it to work. I checked my settings also, but this is the first time I use a pin pointer so maybe they are all like that I wouldn't know. The Vulcan PP turned on twice while in the holster it came with,,,maybe I pushed it in too far

Bottom Line I am very happy with the AT Pro,,,and need more time with the Vulcan before I can really say if I like it or not,,, Kellyco did what they said they would do,,,I would buy from them again. Thank you all for your help and good advice.

If you're not familiar with the way a double D search coil works, pinpointing with the coil can be a little confusing.

I almost never use the pinpoint feature on the detector. The easiest way to pinpoint with a DD coil is to swing back and forth over the target using short strokes while slowly backing up. As soon as the signal fades out, make an imaginary line on the ground across the front of the search coil and turn 90 degrees and start swinging with short strokes over the target again while slowly backing up. A line across the front of the coil where the signal fades now, intersected with the previous line, is where the target is.
It sounds a little complex, but once you do it a couple of times it becomes second nature.

Happy hunting!

The AT Pro is very easy to pinpoint with and use. Get the 5x8 coil and you will never take it off. Good luck! Bart is a great guy if you go that route.

I buy all of my detector equipment from Kellyco. My last purchase was a Garrett AT Pro, and Garrett Pro Pointer. I highly recommend the Garrett Pro Pointer. Don't know how I ever did metal detecting without it for all those years. Garrett has a new one out now, but I see no need to change. Before that, I bought the Garrett ACE 350 from Kellyco. I still have it, but rarely use it. I only used it for 3 months before I got the bug, and money, for an AT Pro. So I upgraded. If anybody would like to by a nearly new Garrett ACE 350, let me know.

I was out with the AT Pro just today, and found my first silver ring of the year.
