Hello from NW New Jersey. DH and I are waiting on the snow to go away to try out our new Garrett AT Pro's - he ordered his about two weeks ago and he surprised me and ordered mine the other day. He's been detecting for years - and I've followed along somewhat - we both still have our Garrett GTA Ultra 1000's as back ups. This snow is really getting in our way - more on the way this week - we are thinking of setting up a test garden in the basement for now to get to know the new detectors. If you can see a bare patch of ground, it's just too frozen to dig around here but that didn't stop DH from finding a dime and penny and chiseling it out of the frozen ground. It's like getting a new bike for Christmas and not being able to try it out We will be busy looking for places to search as soon as it thaws! Seeing all the restrictions on metal detecting really has you doing a lot of research on where it's allowed, that's for sure. Something to do while we're waiting for the melt.
