Okay, so I just got through my first year of detecting, been using the Ace 250, it's a coin magnet, but when it comes down to it, I didn't find much silver and in the trashy areas discrimination is dang near impossible.
I'm looking to upgrade with a machine in the $500-700 range that can work in a lot of terrain. I live in Central Texas with many freshwater lakes and streams around me and it's a 3 hr drive to the beach so I would like a detector that can go freshwater, saltwater, sand and do fairly well on the playgrounds and tot lots. I do not plan on going in water above waist deep with it. Wet sand isn't a must but would be nice.
I have been looking at the AT Pro, it seems like a pretty diverse machine. Are there are others out there anyone knows about? If so, what are your thoughts and the pros/cons of each vs. the AT Pro?
