no my friend it would not! actually it called the 12 inch silver coins iron in my test garden when my buddy swept it with the 5x8 coil. The pro is ok I started with one,but the deus is on a whole different level.I dont get paid by deus to say that its my experience with both detectors. If and when you ever upgrade you will see what you have been missing with the at pro especially if you have been using the 11 inch coil.Ive used both detectors and I know whats up I saw some of the claims over on the garrett forum made by the fan boys they dont know what their talking about. Thats not directed at you its the one who was saying there is no such thing as a better detector.
