A multi freq would b nice, but please no more Ace's
I thought the same too. maybe that machine is not even the new Garrett. They really seem to be secretive about this new release. If it's a multi frequency, that will definitely turn a few heads, especially if it costs less then some of the multi frequency machines currently available. And I mean multi frequency all at once, not the ability to choose one or more frequencies.
.......John. Is that possible? Seems it could be counterintuitive/productive . Does anyone make a Pi/Vlf in one ?
Mark.
They dubbed a new machine coming in 2017 late last year as the, "AT Pro 2" I'm sticking with that as my guess![]()
My AT PRO hangs with the big dogs no problem. But it's now a back up because the Whites V3i multi frequency analyzes so much better. A AT PRO with the Nel Storm or Big Nel is super deep it will pull 8-9" dimes but you will also pull a lot more trash. The Pro is a major work horse in the detector market because it will go deep for a fraction of the price of other units. Plus can't beat it's a water machine too.I own a mine lab CTX, with all three factory coils small standard and large, since December. I hunt at least a few days a week as long as the weather is permitting. Yes I have found some cool things with it, but I can honestly say I do not believe that I found a single thing that I would not have found with my AT PRO. My hunting buddy has an at pro, and I call him over to double check signals that I find. If anything – I would be able to tell you with good accuracy what an at pro is telling me, where I have to guess with the CTX, even though I have hundreds of hours on it at this point. I have not sold my At pro, and I will not. In fact a few times I have thought to myself why even bother using the CTX when I should just sell it and get some money back out of it. Yes the rechargeable battery is nice, yes the back light display is nice, yes the wireless headphones are nice, but honestly I have not seen a benefit to the much touted multi-frequency. Additionally the visual indication although better in theory – is not really any better in real life. I currently own three detectors my first which was an ace 350, the AT pro, and the CTX. I also bought and sold a GTI 2500. For the vast majority of the finds, the 350 would find them just fine. The visual identification number on the at pro does help dig less trash – so although I have never used one of the new aces, my guess is that having a target number narrows the field.
Like everyone, I am watching with interest to see what Garrett releases.

Whatever it may be, it will be ironically refreshing to hear Garrett guys worshipping something other than the AT Pro. Man alive, I'm tired of hearing about that machine.![]()
