I've been reading detector reviews all over the place. Invariably what happens is that I get convinced that the next model up is always the way to go, but this is unrealistic with my budget and my (lack of) detecting experience!
I seem to be drawn to the Garrett AT Pro and also some of the Tesoro detectors. This is based on nothing more than my newbie understanding of metal detectors, what I think I want/need, and my budget. The Garrett AT Pro has the visuals which may be useful, but the simplicity of the Tesoro series also appeals to me. (I am somewhat of a techie, so I am not intimidated my LCD displays and electronics.)
I will likely only be detecting every other weekend locally at parks etc, and at the annual family camping trip.
What do you all think? Both the AT Pro and many of the Tesoro detectors seem to have good reviews and their fans. I would like to have purchased a detector by the end of June so I can get some summer hunting in.
Thanks!
