First machine!

Hey everyone in looking to get into this hobby with my wife and had a few things in mind. I will mostly be doing rivers and forests with some beach use. I was considering a bundle on amazon of the AT Pro and the pro pointer for $764 with a bunch of other items. I had this in mind because I can finance it for 12 months no interest. Would this be a good first buy?

That might be your first ,and last purchase.Those at pros aren't a joke,they work everywhere.

Give Bart a call or one of our sponsors. May give you a better deal and will also help get you the MD catered to your needs

Before you buy anywhere, check with the sponsors of this forum at http://metaldetectingforum.com/sponsors.php . The link is also at the top right of the page.

Tell them you are a member here and most likely they will be able to make you a better offer, and also answer any questions you have ( and probably some you haven't thought of yet ). Talk with several and have them bid against each other. I have seen many posts talking about the great deals they have got by doing this.

Oh, and welcome to the madness that is detecting.

It is a really nice detector! But that price is a bit much for me.

Looks like MAP Price you are paying here...to much...call or text the dealers for a better price

Sounds like a good choice for your hunting needs. Definitely call (don't text - actually call) a sponsor and you may get a better deal, but I don't know about financing. I've had great experiences with Bart at Big Boys Hobbies. Good luck!

Definitely need to call a sponsor, you will get a much better deal!

 

[Grumpysrb]

Don't buy from Amazon. Call sponsors and see what they can do for you. Much of the EXTRAS that are thrown into deals are junk.

Shop around by talking with some of these folks

As mentioned by several already you'll get a better deal and personal service from the forums sponsors. Don't expect much from the freebees kicked in by the manufactures in most cases they usually aren't worth much.
