Need Help With Final 2 Choices. ATPro or Omega 8000

[Warshrike]

Well, I finally narrowed it down to either the ATPro or the Omega 8000. All I want is something that hits hard on old coins ans silver. I'm in Indiana and just hunt old schools and homesites. Sometimes the woods. Not much water at all.

Out of those 2, I personally would take an AT Pro. I wouldn't last 5 minutes detecting with the 8000 and it's horrible 1 -4 tones.
But I'd only get an AT Pro for it's shallow waterproofing so I'm really no help.

What other machines were on your list when you made it?

 

[LuckyLarry]

Why would you even consider the AT Pro when it is still under constant and continual design for improvement? The Omega is Monte's primary detector.

It seems that my post about Monte's preferring the Omega 8000 was misunderstood somehow. It came from a very reputable and well-respected site, and has valuable information for us all to glean and learn from (especially having been posted by Monte). Maybe 4nines can explain that to me.. Or are we limited to only posting materials from just this site?

Note: This is not a challenge, I just want to know the rules..

Seems a lot of people love the ATpro. However, I have also considered the G2, the Tejon, the CZ3D and an Extera 705.

 

[Ronzie]

Tejon baby. Deep machine.

I tried my buddies AT Pro for about 30 minutes and thought it was an ergonomic disaster. I hated the display. BUT- he does well with it. So I would chose the Omega. But now that you have opened a can of worms with your last post. I would chose the Tejon or Xtera 705 before any of the others you mentioned.

i have to agree there are better machines out there then the ones mentioned for me would be the tesoro outlaw or silver umax crazy good discrim and lifetime warranty.

EXterra 705 of the ones listed. Especially if you don't plan on going over knee deep in water.

Obviously the nay sayers and haters are going to jump all over the ATP, try contacting a few different vendors, tell them what type of hunting & where you'll be doing it, Im sure most will agree with the ATP. There were 2 other machines I considered and every dealer suggested the ATP for an all round better machine.

Omega 8000 by miles.

I had the 8000, and sold it, I have the ATPro. The AT gets way better depth than the 8000 in my soil. 8000 loved aluminum, very hard to pick out nickels, they read all over the meter. 8000 had great ergonomics.

I recently bought a t2se. I called three vendors and each one tried talking me into the atp.

My Omega whips my friends AT-Pro in all but water...but his has leaked 2 times this summer and is in at Garretts now,he wished it worked...it does if we keep it out of the water.
The Omega beats the AT-Pro in depth here in Southern N.Y. by about 2" and a is better coin/relic hunter..better balanced...i`m not bashing any brands i use them all.
Just go to" You Tube" and in the metal detector section and type in "omega vs at-pro" and see for yourself.

My metal detector is better! No, MY metal detector is better than yours! Well mine is better than ALL of yours!

Pathetic!

 

[Warshrike]

Well, I went ahead and ordered the ATPro adventure pack, the 5x8 coil and a pro pointer. Bart at big boy hobbies hooked me up with a GREAT price.

Thats because you cant get a more versatile detector that actually works well for that price point or anywhere close to it

You wont be disappointed.....people just get upset because it sells so well, but actually works better than most high price machines.
