A few weeks ago after I found that big gold ring in the ball field, I mentioned that I really wanted a Makro Racer 2. I figured it was going to be a while before I got one. Then last Tuesday my AT Pro died. It's still under warranty so i sent it back to Garrett. I sent it to Garrett on Tuesday, ordered a Makro Racer 2 on Wednesday and received it via UPS the next day, free shipping!! I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention the place I ordered it from, but this guy throws in a free Garrett Carrot with the purchase. I assume the AT Pro will come back to me in like new condition since one of the screw pillars on the housing was completely broken. Anyone who has the AT Pro knows what i'm talking about, and the unit wouldn't get out of the initial power on mode which displays all indicators on the screen, not to mention the condensation behind the display. I love my AT Pro, and will hang onto it, but this Racer so far is the bomb. I've only hunted with it for about 1/2 hour in a place that I totally covered, but this time i was pulling out clad from way down. I'm not sure the AT Pro would have seen it, or if it had maybe it would have sounded like junk. I haven't found anything other then clad yet since only 1/2 hour in use. I'll be going out after work and hopefully have more luck, maybe with some deep silver. I'll keep you posted. I'm really excited about this new racer. I'm thinking it will reopen all those places I've already hunted out.
