I might dig with a screwdriver if I lived in Fla but in Texas...you punch into some form of literal cement in this soil. You gotta experience it. It is just not plainly that simple around here.

Everyone is freaking out over the " boot up" time lol that's hilarious! It's LITERALLY LIKE 1.0 SECONDS! Hahaha.
By the way the "boot up" time is not a boot up time at all-
The TRX uses that whole 1 second of eternity that seems to hamper your recovery time so much, to AUTOMATICALLY GROUND BALANCE ITSELF.
Auto GB - that's right, have you ever taken a stop watch to time how long it takes the Pro pointer to ground balance itself?
.... Oh wait that's not fair, the GPP doesn't have ground balancing at all.

Okay buddy you obviously know what your talking about
.. You bring up ignorance yet you're giving an opinion on something you have absolutely no experience with.. Ohh the irony.. Like i said good luck and enjoy your machines.. i truly mean that
He apparently did a lot of research when he bought the 03 cobra as well. A car with a supercharger that runs 12's in the 1/4 mile. Lol, lots of cars out there nimbler, better looking, faster, more reliable, and probably less expensive unless he got some amazing deal.
He's like a lot of people, they go for hype and marketing. He has a mustang, and an AT pro?!?! Probably owns an iPhone and and listened to Limp biskit back in the day.
You gotta love marketing.....

OOO did I hurt your feelings darling, I did not mean to make you get your panties wadded up, apparently you do not know what you are talking about when it comes to Cobra's, can you not tell it isn't an '03-'04 by looking at the rear bumper
a little jealous huh danny boy! Maybe when you grow up you can buy what you want.
Ok Ok enough of the bickering already lol ...... 
Thanks for all the info and comments everyone I have enjoyed reading them. I had plans on buying a backup detector but I think what I will do now is to buy the Garrett PP and the Whites TRX use them both for a few and decide on what one I want to use full time and have the other as a backup/loaner.
Thanks All

Thanks for the laugh, DM!

New to this, but have learned quickly that a decent pin pointer saves me a lot of digging and I'm making a smaller mess.
I received a Fisher PP with my F2 and started with that. I would have to dig a pretty good hole for anything beyond 1-1/2" to start getting in a range that the PP might start picking it up. Lucky to get an inch on a dime or penny, and maybe an inch and a half on a quarter.
When I bought my AT Pro, I received the new Kellyco Vulcan 360 with the package. Much better range and good 360 coverage. I can get close to 3" with this PP, so able to pop a lot more coins with a screwdriver. My recovery time has improved substantially an I'm not making nearly the mess. But the Vulcan does take about 5 seconds to power up.
Just ordered a TRX based on all I've read about it and watched on videos, and expect it to help even further.
Not badmouthing any other PP's out there, but like metal detectors themselves, companies are coming out constantly with new technologies and features to help us be more successful. When I see something new that can help me substantially enough, I jump to it.

I would trade off some performance in the TRX to a dependable 3 inches if it would add full wand detection back in. Tip only detection adds too much time-in-the-hole if the coin is in a sidewall, or already in the pile of dirt. If Garretts designs a pointer like the current Propointer which gets 3 inches without tricks, AND with full length wand detection, I'll go back to Garretts. martin
