Especially when you say the Pro can take the place of the high end machines. Is it that good???????? I've gone thru different brands, medium to the high end, and still want for my MXT,( found more goodies with it than all the rest combined ). I currently have an X-Terra 70 that will soon be gone and was considering the etrac , CZ5, or back to old faithfull, the MXT. Enlighten me that the AT-PRO can compete in depth with any of these, and I will be a first time Garret user. I have friends that have garrets, from the ace to the 2500, just wasn't convinced enough, especially with the weight of the 2500. So many different detectors out here its chaos to choose. Been doing this a long time now and wishing I never got rid of my 6000 series ii hip mount. That sweet faint audio of a deep! coin has eluded me ever since. Help me out dirt diggers.
