I decided to hit a local park and just as I turn on my ATP a guy walks up with headphones on but no detector and asks what Ive found, told him nothing yet. This guy seems a bit weird and the conversation turned weird. He says "you wont find anything, I come here everyday and Ive covered every square inch of this place, in fact I just found a $1500 ring over there", I replied "great find what kind of detector are you using?". The man looked stunned at me asking such a question but said well my wife got it for me--nice what kind do you have--well i got it for my birthday--again thats nice what kind do you have? He said he couldnt remember off the top of his head and said that I couldnt possibly find much with my lower end "thing", I chuckled and asked again what do you have and started to name off brands--fisher, garrett, minelab
and he said well its like $1500 or 16 or 1700 but its a lot better than that "thing" you have. Reason he calls it a thing is because I have a cover on my AT Pro head unit for keeping the dirt off with my BZBadger sewn into it and it hides the name.
I figured this guy to be a noob or an idiot and decided to have fun--he told me that I will never be able to get anything with my machine since his is so good-he never heard of Garrett before--so I started in with ok so your machine isnt a minelab, fisher oh wait I know what it is its that new white's model everyone wants and so hard to get and costs so much--the white's CJ7 ace350 and it goes like 4 feet deep--the guys says yep thats the one--really wow amazing you were able to get your hands on it, your so lucky, he says I know my wife really took care of me and ppl are jealous that I have it. Conversation ends with him saying dont bother checking the park with that "thing" I already have today and I cleaned the place out, I said yep your probably right but hey im already here so I will try anyway.
I hunted for an hour and walked out with a handful of clad, a silver ear ring, gold ear ring and tons of trash. Yep my "thing" sure doesnt find much. So ppl watch out for that new whites-jeep-garrett combo that can go 4 feet deep.
Old saying I still use--ppl may think you are stupid dont open your mouth and prove them right--this guy surely did.
