I use the AT Pro, have had my detector for a little more than a year. Just had a great Friday/Saturday hunting some homes and curb strips up in Central Montana, ended up with 17 silver coins and one Sterling ring on those 2 days, along with about 150 other coins including tokens, Buffalo and V nickel, Indian Head, 50+ wheaties, etc etc. I really like the tone quality of my machine, have watched a lot of Hoover Boys vids on YouTube, and don't care for the sound of the AT Max nearly as much.
From reading about the Nox, I realize it may be a better machine than my Garrett, but for hunting here the Pro does a great job. The coins are not super deep, and most yards are pretty clean of iron. I do notice when I get up close to these old houses, the Pro starts to chatter like a machine gun as it goes over the small bits of iron or nails. To cope for that, I slow down my swing, and listen for any small squeak of high tone, then work to isolate that sound and zero in on the good target. Sometimes I can only move my coil 2 inches back and forth to locate the target in the iron. I have found many good silver coins in this scenario, though other detectors may be even better. And yes, I accept that the more expensive units like the CTX 3030 and Deus, along with the NOX models, may separate better, and will go deeper than my machine. I get about 8 inches max on a silver dime, 9" on a copper cent, and 10 inches on a silver quarter, and that is with pressing the coil into the grass and getting that sweet faint and repeatable high tone. I am still learning my machine, and I have dug many good coins, especially this year, that also had a rusty nail in the same hole (found with the pinpointer), so I know the AT Pro can do a decent job of letting me know that something good is still down there. I run Pro Zero, nothing notched or discriminated out, and sensitivity at max.
