Thanks for posting, it sure helped me! Maybe this means the Garrett carrot is getting ready to release to the public soon.
Who did you pre-order through?they are being shipped..i pre ordered mine a week ago and it shipped yesterday..
I still haven't heard anything about mine . Ordered about the same time as you.Got mine about 20 minutes ago. Pre-ordered from BBH. Initial testing against my GPP is that the outer detection distance is similar on a new, shiny shield penny but the PP AT locks into solid tone at a further distance than the PP. This is with the PP AT set at maximum.
The audio tone on the PP AT is a slightly a lower frequency as well.
The PP also can do more of a really slow tick, tick at the outer fringe whereas the PP AT seems to have a quicker reaction from silent to slow chirp.
Just my first, quick impressions.

What sort of distance are you getting on "maximum" for , say a quarter air tested? Whats your max distance for the GPAT even sensing the quarter?
Just tested it and got right at 2 inches on a quarter. I had a crusty one and a clean one and it didn't seem to make any difference. This is on maximum sensitivity setting with the battery that was supplied.
