Metal Detecting Oregon – AT Pro & E-Trac Comparisons on 4-6″ Silver Dimes!

Here’s some unedited video side-by-side comparisons of the 2 detectors I own. Most of you know by now, that I’ve had an on going complaint with Garrett about the depth of the Garrett AT Pro. But it’s not so much about the depth as it is filtering. Sure the AT Pro air test are great, but I’ve shown by putting that coin in a hole, you can lose half it’s depth. NOT EVERYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM!! Read that last line again. I have an on going email with Garrett about this issue and all they tell me to do is: 1) Send us your unit and we’ll check it out (Did this twice). 2) Bury a coin for a month (I did 4 months) and check to see if detector hits coin ( AT Pro couldn’t find 8″ silver half). 3) What do the bench test say? ( This email reply came today). Hears the thing. Everyone, everywhere is going to have different test results depending on soil. Period. There’s nothing the detector can do “if” it doesn’t have the technology built into the unit to filter minerals out. Look at www.dankowskidetectors.com test results. He gets better depth, but talks about some problems. My air test were great. Just like Garrett showed on their video. The one that made me want to buy the AT Pro. But Garrett never, ever does in-field depth test or field test. Sure, they put the coins in a test garden, but they didn’t get their soil from Council Crest here in Portland. Man, that soil is bad. So can Garrett fix my issue? Probably not. I know there are many hunters in the Portland area that have the AT
