AT Pro! I've only had this machine 2.5wks but in that time it has come to be my fav.
It has some issues that to me are kinda asinine. But the way the audio speaks I really like it as an overall package.
When heading out the door, my Vx3 & MXTP series are being left behind. Something I didn't think ever possible!
I'm really glad I took the chance on the ATP (and the 5x8) and stuck it out. As many of know I wasn't overly impressed with this machine to start with, finding more fault with it than good.
When I first started with the ATP I was running Pro Mode Custom w/28-30 iron disc. While it seemed to work ok I still wasn't "feeling it". I put it in Standard Coin Mode once. That lasted one target before I said f that!
After a couple of days running Pro Custom I switched it to Pro Zero w/zero iron disc. At first I thought it to be a bit too much info and would change back to Pro Custom when I felt I wasn't processing everything Pro Zero w/zero was telling me. That went on for a couple of days before I made the switch to Pro Zero w/zero iron disc and the decision to keep it there. Best move I made on the ATP. The machine came alive! Hearing everything the machine "sees" and how its presented to the user is simply brilliant.
Is it a perfect machine? Well no!
But to me right now, the ATP is the best I've ever used. Do I like it better than the E-Trac I had? Yep! Better than my Vx3? Yep! MXT Pro? Yep! Vaquero? Yep!
Now I'm thinking of an AT Gold. Probably sell/trade off my Whites to get one! Wait, did I just say that?

After adding the 5X8 coil,I've been able to go over ground that I thought was nothing but trash,and cheery pick the coins out of the trash. Plus the VDI is just iceing on the cake. I can criss cross the target,and pin point it's location without using the pin point button. I think I'm going to be using this machine for a long time,as it will do anything I ask of it. I've only used it for coinshooting,but plan on going relic hunting this year. I can hardly wait to hear what it has to tell me when I do get to go!
