I hope 99 percent of the peeps out there have this mentality, it keeps my public areas producing for me that much longer.
Lol you might want to venture outside that cave you are living in. The At pro has not been the top seller for a while.Been watching this thread, and Monte kinda summed it up.
I usto go to a bar back in my 20s,, not a bad looking place inside but the parking lot was shale and full of potholes to boot. The parking lot was always full and bar was always packed..I asked the owner why he don't get it blacktopped ,, he said for what,people are gonna come regardless.
Same applies to Garret, why fix something that isn't broke?At pro is still the hottest seller outside of these forums ,which members make up maybe 1% of the people in the hobbie or thinking about the hobbie.
So,I guess for every one person waiting on a Garrett AT series model that's multi frequency there's probably a few thousand swinging one that's not,and making great finds.
I was thinking the same thing. Unfortunately that is not the case. Nearly every detectorist I run into in Midwest is using a nox. A high percentage of YouTubers are using Nox as well. Throw in the ctx and deus users as well. There are many of them out there cleaning up sites. I would honestly pay money to follow AT pro users to productive sites and clean up behind them.I hope 99 percent of the peeps out there have this mentality, it keeps my public areas producing for me that much longer.

I guess I’ll take all of my found gold and silver and bury it again for the Nox users. I’ve done quite well with the ATPro and I’ve never had to fix a broken arm cuff or had the ears of my coil break and I’ve abused my Pro. They are bombproof.

My dad can beat up your dad....:laughing
None of the Equinox deniers have ever fully understood what the Equinox brings to the table. I have. I've pulled silver out of places so thick with trash most people would not even bother to hunt them. I've pulled silver out places so hunted out all that's left is very deep and severely masked. Places where even finding one silver coin is trophy.
If your digging a lot of trash with the Equinox or not finding deep masked targets then sorry but you just don't know the machine well enough.
Exactly! I have been preaching this for a long time. There are a lot of Nox users that still are not proficient enough to get the most out of it, cause when you finally do.............. I have said this over and over and over,,,, if you use the Nox like an At Pro or any other beep and dig detector ,,,,,,, it is no better than the others. It is akin to buying an Indy race car just to commute thru town at 35 mph daily. You never learn to go fast Ricky Bobby.
.....I do miss my garrett bell tone....
First time I’ve ever heard anybody say that
Well I finally got my equinox 600 two weeks ago. I had been using my AT Pro all last year on the beaches. The difference on the wet sand is night and day. I tried to hunt on the wet sand with my AT Pro and I could if I reduced the sensitivity enough but even then I had to listen through a lot of chatter for decent signals. The equinox is quiet....just quiet until there's a target and I appreciate that a lot. In the dry sand I am having to dig deeper now but I don't mind. I guess I could hunt with my AT Pro and then go behind myself with my equinox and see what happens.....I do miss my garrett bell tone....but the equinox tones are so smooth, quiet...that I am okay with the trade. I do feel like I'm searching a new beach....over the same places I've searched before....but could be all in my head. Once the honeymoon is over I may have a better perspective......but I'm not in any hurry for that. Oh also the backlit display screen is not to be undervalued. I hunt in the mornings from 5 to 8 and I always had to rig up some kind of lighting for my at pro....I don't miss that at all. Something else is the ease of swinging the equinox compared to the AT Pro.....it seems that it is easier and feels more natural to make wider swings with my equinox than with my AT Pro......and the pinpoint....oh my god .....I was concerned about that 'cause I use that feature constantly.....but the equinox did not disappoint me there either. Okay...obviously I'm in love....but is it puppy love....or the long lasting kind that sees you through your darkest day???? ...hmmm....have to wait and see.
