NewB in NOVA {Northern Virginia

[Short Round]

Since I was young
MD is something
I always wanted to try.

I have yet to purchase a MD
I have been reading reviews & watching vids
Trying to make the best decision

I would appreciate any suggestions
from seasoned Detectorists
on which would be good model to start with
but yet be advanced enough to grow with.

I tend to be of the belief
you get what you pay for
so I'm not trying to go cheap.
but @ the same time
if I come home with a CTX3030
the wife might not be so understanding

@ this point I am thinking AT Pro
many seem to have started with these
or have one in their stable.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Welcome aboard You will here of everyone's favorite m.d., the atp is not a bad machine at all. I have 1. But i like my whites dfx better. Its kind of like ford or chevy. They will all find metal, it's getting use to the one you decide on and it takes time--good luck

It appears the DFX
is a discontinued model

what would be its
successor in the Whites
lineup ?

Detectors are like cars, some like Fords, others Chevys. For it's pricepoint, the AT Pro has a lot of features. It's fully waterproof, has adjustable ground balance for mineralized soil, good depth and target separation. The Diggers Special ia goood value. Feel free to give me a call if I can answer any questions for you.

Welcome to the forum! The AT Pro is a very good mid-range machine with a small learning curve, I have both the AT Pro and AT Gold and work very well in their respective hunting areas.
