I have talked about how difficult the 800 was for me to learn in other posts. I am curious to hear of the experiences of others maybe having trouble learning a more sophisticated detector. As for me I got into metal detecting by using the Fisher gold bug to locate corroded bird and buck shot...

I own the AT PRO, AT PRO GOLD, ATX, AXIOM, CTX3030, NOX 800, and Manticore. My go to is the CTX3030. Most of the videos I have seen on YouTube by relic hunters are using the Garrett AT Max. or Dues II. I own most coils for each detector I have. However, I cannot figure out what the advantage...

Been metal detecting for about 8-9 months, have a Garrett AT Pro. I mostly hunt for relics in eastern NC, farm fields, old house sites, civil war sites. I usually run in Pro Zero mode, 28 iron descrimation, iron audio off, sensitivity 2 back from all the way. I dig a lot of aluminum trash...

This is directed at newbies and experienced detectorists considering the Equinox 800. A little about me. Many years of using metal detectors going back to the late 1980's. Six years ago use the Garrett AT Pro for 3 years. Bought the Nox 800 in March 2018 in the very early part of the product...

One of my most productive areas I have ever hunted has a large field of coal slag buried just below the surface of the grass. I suspect there was a homestead / blacksmith ( some old brick recovered) on this site and the area is the dumping ground. I was able to pull a SLQ out of that field this...

My AT Pro was working perfectly on Friday, go to use it today, everything turns on, can change all the settings, did a reset, changed the frequency, did ground balancing, the works, but won’t “detect” anything? Changes the batteries, put a gold ring on the ground to test, but nothing? So weird...

ok, first off I am not trying to start a war here. I am just interested in sales figures of AT Pro vs Equinox. Well that information is not to be had because both companies are private or don't report those figures. But we can infer the popularity of each by then members of different facebook...

I live on a civil war site in Fairfax, Va. My soil is dense clay and I’m lucky to get 8” with the stock AT Pro coil. Should I get a new coil for my AT Pro or will something like the equinox 600 be better? (If new coil then which one?) Thanks

Hi everyone!! I just got into metal detecting recently and joined this forum so I can learn more about the hobby. I'm a coin collector and I thought that I should expand my passion to metal detecting as well. I'm from Chicago, so if there are people from around here, hit me up and I'd be happy...

Would be very interested in seeing a 5x8" coil for the Equinox. Most of my targets are in the 4-6" range with average to above average amount of junk. On my AT Pro the 5x8" coil was my go to coil. I wonder why no one is making this coil for the Equinox.

Think about what processing power we have in our detectors like the XP Deus and Equinox 800. I would rather venture they have more power than the computer on Apollo 11 and the first IBM PC. Apollo 11 was landed on the moon using a computer that had 1,300 times less than the processing power of...

Ok, I only have one criticism of the Garrett AT Pro. I loved the machine, but really had problems with the water proof coil connector when changing coils. No it never leaked, but it was a real task to get those darn pins lined up so you would not bend them before you screwed the conector in. Ear...

I know lots of people here will get a new detector and keep the old ones for different reasons. I am a one detector man since when I get a new detector I have to sell my old one to help with the cost of the new one. But the real cost of a new detector is the time you must put in learning the...

Where can I got a plug for the AT pro ? Anyone have any clue?

have been pulling old iron/steel relics out of this field. Old horse tackle, plow points. I have been hunting it now for about two weeks. I know that these fields go back to the 1920's based on talking to some older residents who know the area. Been searching with the AT Pro and Nel Thunder and...

I am using AT Pro and have the stock coil, 5 x 8" coil and Nel Thunder. The old home site is in a wooded area pretty thick with trees but about 2-3 feet between trees. On the initial search which coil should I use. I think I should use the stock and maybe 5 x 8" (if find the site is trashy) and...

When I try pinpointing with the nel thunder I really cannot get it down much more than the width of the coil by going from east to west and north and south. The best way for me is just to use the front tipoff the coil and listen to where the signal appears and disappears and walk around the...

I now have the Nel thunder coil I am digging deeper targets and my lesche shark is hard to dig a deep hole. once I get a shovel deep hole and the shovel is tall an narrow, I cannot dig much deeper easily. You cannot dig in and pry or leverage the shovel to get out deep dirt. I wonder if the...

I am going to start hunting creeks and rivers in north atlanta. all of this area was populated back to the early 1800's. I use the AT Pro in the pro zero mode. thanks for your help.

need help on hunting good? sites I live in North Atlanta (north of i-285). I have good luck in finding old sites that are still not disturbed and I have access to. But I have yet to find a silver coin. Plenty of clad, most 3-5" deep. I am using an Garrett AT pro and have had it now about 1 1/2...
