New detector help

And also... What are some of your guys opinion on Teknetics (SP?) I was looking at those as well. Decisions decisions....

I have a Garrett At-Pro that I'm fond of so of those two I guess I would pick the Ace but I'd consider spending a bit more for the AT-Pro or Max.

I second the suggestion of saving up and bumping up a model or two. I started with an Ace 400. While it was a great beginners detector, the quality when you move up to the next level is so valuable. I moved up to an AT Max and LOVE the extra features, depth, etc. Seems like you have some 'starter' detectors already, save up some finds for a bit and go for a model above those you suggested.

The only issue I have with bumping up to the next level is how overwhelming those machines are. I was pretty nervous to bump up from the bounty hunter to the fisher LOL. Looking at the AT Max and AT Pro, theres a WHOLE lot of extra this and thats that I have no idea how to use LOL. I was hoping to kinda learn gradually and move up one or two new features at a time. But now that I have been looking at the Max and the Pro... How difficult would you say they are to learn?? Im not opposed to spending the little bit extra on a quality machine, but I also wonder how much better it would be than what I already run. I h unt mostly city parks and camp sites, the fisher and the bounty hunter both do a *decent enough* job at finding coins and telling me whats trash, but it could be better..... would there be a whole world of difference hunting the parks and such??

They are not that hard to learn. Just because they have a lot of features doesn't mean that you MUST use all of them. Use what you need and learn the rest along the way. It's a lot cheaper than buying multiple units.

Thats true. Ill have to look a little more into the two above. Im definitely not against the idea, just worried I wont be able to figure out all the bells and whistles LOL
