[QUOTE="AussieTreasureDigger, post: 13711, member: 597"] I have an AT Pro, paid itself off in 7months, i bought a minelab CTX3030 great machine, especially when i am up to my waist in water, and its found me some fanatstic treasure and coins. I did have a GP Extreme back when they were new, i sold it due to breaking my neck, but it was a great machine. First day out i found a 27gram nugget and thought how easy is this, then found nothing for months :D . I just recently purchased an SD2200V2 thats hasnt had a lot of use and for not alot of cash, which i am refurbishing, so that i can also have a PI machine for when i am in the goldfields. Yesterday i used both the CTX3030 and the AT Pro out near Castlemaine, they both found bits and pieces of coin and relic but for which machine came out on top? i am going to give it to the AT Pro on the day, it has a 12" NEL hunter coil on it that punches nice and deep.The old saying does apply, you have to walk over them to find them, and the machine is only as good as the operator. The AT Pro is a great machine, and i think the best bang for your buck on the market, mine lives in the car and is ready to go at the drop of a hat. Check out the Garrett Infinium a PI detector that just about does the lot and about $1200 new [/QUOTE]
