Hello all. I've had a detector since 1988 but just recently got interested again and having a lot of fun. I'll be getting a new detector soon and looking forward to spring weather!

Del, my oldest detector from the 80's is a White's 5900. Great detector in its day but kind of cumbersome and heavy, what with 6 C-cell batteries. And it's analog instead of digital. Then last summer I bought a Bounty Hunter for $24 at a yard sale, and that has me hooked all over again. Now I've been reading and looking around and think I've decided on a Garret AT Pro. It looks like it's got everything I'd use at a reasonable price.

i'm very familiar with the 5900 and the 6000 di pro , they are good machines but very cumbersome and heavy . i keep hearing very good comments and reviews about the AT Pro , a good choice and i wish you the best with it .

Those AT Pros are very nice machines. Hope you get to use it soon.

As a matter of fact, I ordered the AT Pro about 15 minutes ago, then opened up this forum to see what's been going on with folks. Looking forward to getting it!
