For the 2nd time I drowned my Garrett Pro Pointer.
And, for the 2nd time I broke the switch while disassembling it to dry out the circuit board.
No sweat there, I called Mary at Garrett this morning, and even though the GPP has been out of warranty for over a year, Garrett put a new switch and speaker, free of charge, in the mail for me today.
So, in a few days I'll have my (original) GPP back in operation.
The dilemma here is that yesterday evening I ordered a new Garrett Water Proof Pro Pointer AT (AKA Garrett Carrot) and am now wondering if it was a good choice.
I met another MDer in the park today and he was using a brand new Pro Pointer AT, and it's sensitivity and overall simplicity of operation was back seat to my old GPP.
Has anyone made the change from the original GPP to the GPP AT, and, if so, what is your opinion of how the two compare.
I had also considered the GPP-II, but since I've drowned my original twice, the waterproof feature of the GPP-AT was a tie breaker.
Any opinions here regarding choosing the GPP-AT over the GPP-II?
