I have one complaint that I will write up in my review, but the machine is as chattery as the F75. My ground was 40-55 ground balanced. It runs like there was emi at every step.
The machine does hit hard on good targets but it loves bottle caps more than the AT Pro. Until I get that little turn at the end of the tone and maybe use the smaller coil, I am disappointed in the iron halo that can fool this machine.
This is where the iron audio shines from the AT Pro
The pic is from my 3 hour hunt in a hammered park that has been swung on with every kind of detector.
You can see the trash, I did dig trash in all the tone modes just to see what was what.
The coins were mixed in with the trash but you can see the bottle tops that read in the 80's

Well,first the Impact is not an At Pro.
Next,,,do you think you have enough time thus far to be talking of a review??
Have you checked bottle caps using all modes.
Try di99 and listen.
Compare to a zincoln,,,tell me which one you would dig.
Play with iron tone setting,,see what it brings.
Don't forget the Impact has other freqs.
Have you swept a bottle cap using 5khz.
Try it.
The Impact has tools,,modes,,and freqs,,and other settings.
You learn how to use these,,,depending on sites,,targets, etc,,and life will be good as a detectorist.
Up in this thread,,I talk about how to identify junk targets using the different freqs.
A person can distinguish high conductors using and also mid conductors like lead, etc by doing.
Sweep a quarter sized piece of can slaw using 14and 20khz,,notice ID.
Then sweep with 5khz,,notice the ID.
Then lay a pre 82 penny down and repeat above.
Notice anything??
Use either 2 tone, 3 tone,,4 tone,or DI99 for this experiment,,,not the VLX modes.
VERY IMPORTANT for this experiement,,,turn Vdi Normalization off,,it is on by default.
Repeat experiment above using aluminum bottle Twist cap,,and notice what you see.
Can slaw and aluminum cap get dumped into low 40s ID or lower,,pre 82 penny reports around 66. Big spread here using 5khz vs using other freqs.
Bet the At Pro can't do this,,,person will dig those caps like no tomorrow using At Pro and other single freq detectors.
High conductors will likely read 64 plus ID wise using 5khz.
Mid conductors will read high 40s to around 60.
Junk will read less than 43 usually,,this does include gold jewelry.,obviously it wouldn't be junk- using 5khz.
Some bigger gold rings could read a little higher.
Here is a good guy I know showing and unboxing. These stock Phillips headphones now with Makro's and Nokta are a vast improvement over the old tiny Koss ones. Yeah, they are still cheaper but they are 32 ohm and sound/fit well. (he didn't realize wireless headphones were an add on in the video)
