A New User of the AT Pro Review

Normally I swing one of my Fisher detectors, the 1266 and CZ5 but decided to buy the AT Pro because I could not afford the cost of the CZ21 for water detecting. It was a good choice and I can tell that it will be one of my favorites!

The tones in pro mode are nice to my ear, light weight, deep machine in my dirt and all around a great metal detector. This detector offers the best of all worlds in my opinion and here is what I mean; I use the 1266 in the woods to hunt for relics from the Civil War Campaign of Andrew Jackson in the creeks here in Alabama. I got 12 musket balls today and a cuff button using the AT Pro!

One of the best features is the blunt tip and tail ends of the DD coil. I went out the last few days and found a few nice items at depth of 6-8" in the hard ground and 3 more musket balls and another cuff button, but when I metal detected only next to large tree bases the AT Pro performed outstandingly, the extended detection range beyond the end of the blunted coil tip provided a 1841 half dime at 2" and 9 more musket ball bullets! 

In conclusion...my Fisher's might be gathering a bit of dust in the closet while I will be grabbing my Garrett AT Pro as my main metal detector from now on!
