THE REPORTS ARE IN - THE AT PRO IS THE MOST AWESOME DETECTOR EVER BUILT...

Today Garrett engineers put on a demonstration with the AT for the distributors and blew their minds. This detector will do things that ain't been invented yet. It goes twice as deep as a 250 - will separate coins from bottlecaps, pulltabs, hot rocks - will detect flakes of gold. One can place a dime under a rusty nail, hot rock, or other junk and the AT will hit the dime and ignore the junk. It is 100% waterproof and is even constructed of separate waterproof compartments as a safety measure. And you can hunt in saltwater or anywhere else you choose. There is more info soon as I get it but there ain't no detector no where even remotely like the AT. It's the one everybody has been waiting for and will blow the competition away.

Bill Revis is the moderator of the Garrett forum, but there is no moderator on this site more honest about "his" manufacturer.

Uncle Willy will call a turd a turd, even if it's a Garrett turd...

So his words carry a lot of weight with me, and it sounds like the AT Pro is one really sweet detector!
 
Yeah the guys I talked to that were at the demonstration were beyond excited. I believe a video of the demo will be on You Tube in a few days. I'll check and make sure. I'm supposed to get a DVD of the demo. What users are going to get is a $1500 plus detector for under $600. Old Charlie done it again. They will sell a boat load of these puppies. I can't wait to get one.

Bill
 
I can't wait till November when mine comes in!!

When I first got into the hobby of detecting I wondered why nobody had a detector like this one-a truly all purpose detector!
 
I always said that Charles had some alien in his family tree. I hope my remodeling picks up enough to buy a couple of AT Pro's. Hey Bill, did any of the distributors get wind of any more new units coming out?
 
Haven't heard anything factual, just rumors, but if this AT is everything they say who needs any more. Plus if any other manufacturer had put this detector out it would be more than double the price. Who else has an all terrain machine for under six hunred bucks?

Bill
 
How simple will Garrett make it for hunters? It may get down to going to the Garret web site. Click on "metal detectors" and the only one they sell is the AT Pro! :detecting:
 
There is no manufacture that could do it at this price. I think we can thank the Ace 250 for this. After all it probably made Charles enough money to hire all the best engineers plus keep the cost down. I wish I worked for Charlie!
 
According to the engineers at Garrett the AT is the sign of things to come at Garrett. They said they listened to the customers when designing this one. So it does pay to bitch. HAA.

Bill
 
Yeah it made a ton of money - enough to add a new wing on the factory and hire a slew of new employees. The AT will probably finance a repeat of that. I predict a lot of brand switching once the news is out.

Bill
 
Wow you got me all excited even more now Bill. Ok I'm getting one now...even if I have to sell a bit of my gold to get it.

Looking forward to that video of the demo and of course MORE NEW DETECTORS FROM GARRETT!

Alan
 
Yeah Garrett had better get it in gear cause these puppies are going to fly out the door. They only got a month before they are supposed to be released. Those engineers really put their heart and soul into this one.

Bill
 
It seems to turning out to be a very high tech machine, much more capable of performing tasks to get the most sought after targets on land and in the water. It seems to be the most multifunctional unit which I have ever seen. Little tit bits of new information keep coming out about this new machine. Looks like a winner :clapping:
 
That sound terrific Bill. I'll be hanging onto my 1500 still, but I'll be watching this spot with much interest.

Wow....sounds good to me,with these hard economic times I may sell my f75ltd and by a couple of Garretts......Get the most bang for the buck but gotta see the videos first.....I could also put the whites beach hunter ID up for sale hmmmmmm both are good detectors though,decisions,decisions.......hh.........Dan
PS I like to hunt land and wet beach sand this may be the ticket also get out there in the water some 4-5 feet no more than that ever.
 
Bet Santa has a few in his sled in Dec..Those that have used Garretts know they are a quality detector and have an excellent after the sale staff. Indeed Charley has a winner and above all at a decent price...
 
The 250's I've had would hit a dime 8' to 9 " at best. Are you all saying I can expect to see the AT hit dimes at 16 to 18"? On the nail over the coin scenario...did it ID the coin as if the nail wasn't there or did it display a sum/average of the two items? Any pix or videos of it hitting the flakes of gold so we can see the size of them and how the AT actually responded to them? Lastly, how much time do the testers have on using "the competition"? I'm not trying to be a *****, just trying to make sure I quantitatively understand these statements.
 
When you posted, "And you can hunt in saltwater or anywhere else you choose." Are you passing along that Garrett is claiming this is a salt water machine that will do as well as the multi-frequency units? No speculation here, I want to know what Garrett is saying not what you are reading into the phrase of "All Terrain". The reason I am asking is that I have carefully reviewed the advertising glossy on the AT-Pro that is posted everywhere and there isn't a mention of salt water anywhere in that. You would think that if they believe that they are the first ones to design and build a single frequency machine that can do as well as multi-frequency machines in salt water that they would be shouting it out, in all capital letter, bolded and underlined instead of not mentioning it at all.

Also I pre-ordered this machine because it looked like it was setup for relic hunting. Its expanded iron range, from 1 to 39, is setup just like the T2, which is the best relic machine I have used, (until I sold it for triple what I paid for it last winter and got a F75 which is almost the same thing just setup more for coins). Yet almost all of the info I have seen so far is about how well it does separating coins from trash. In the farm fields I hunt in there just aren't many coins to find in most places. You can hunt a 5 acre field and only find 5 or 10 coins so how the machine does on coins doesn't matter much to me. I just hope it doesn't treat metals like lead, pewter, brass, tin, and ferrous targets with a conductivity higher or lower than nails as trash metals so it can be more responsive to copper and silver. I would be very disappointed with it if it blocked the response from a bullet, tombac, hane knob or even an ox shoe so it could ring up a dime next to it or under it.
 
Bill. I hope you'll write a detailed field test for it when you get one. I am not going to buy a new detector anytime before spring but I am getting excited about the AT-Pro. Heck, I found .4 ounces of gold in 90 minutes last Saturday with my poor, old, out-dated GTI 2500. That about pays for it. (That comment about my 2500 was sarcasm.)
