Really would just like to buy a larger coil but the only coil available for the AT Pro is an aftermarket one and haven't seen much on them on if this would be right for me. I love the AT Pro but I haven't found the deeper bullets that I know are here. If push comes to shove I could buy just another machine but I am not sure what to go with. I would be buying for a specific field. It is fairly clean of trash. There is a little bit of trash but most of the stuff here are good targets. Discrimination and screen isn't really needed as I want to dig everything that beeps. It's a huge field covering a few hundred acres. We have found patches of bullets in different parts of the field but I know there is more here but being such a large area it takes a while to cover. The soil is fairly mild. Ground balances around 81 to 83 on the AT Pro. When I am searching for the patch I am pretty fast but I slow to a snails pace when I start finding stuff and grid it off accordingly. I kinda want something lightweight but will sacrifice the weight if it gets me what I want. I would like to get at least 12 inches depth on a .54 caliber Minnie ball consistently. If I get deeper then that's cool but don't want to go any less than 12 inches. I honestly don't want to spend a ton of money on this machine and I don't want to have to upgrade it with another coil. I am thinking at least $800.00 max. I know there are some really good used machines in this price range. I would rather buy new but I will do what I have to do to get what I want.
If you could have a machine for this type of conditions what would it be?
Or do you think one of the aftermarket coils would work for what I want?
