I love it! I am new to metal detecting and not very patient or good about reading lengthy instructions. previously my perception of testing and balancing the detector before being able to effectively use it, prevented me from buying earlier in my life...But the ease and speed of the step by step instructional dvd, had me on the beach successfully identifying hits, had me kicking myself for waiting so long to start!!! I am very pleased with my Garrett AT Pro and give it my highest recommendation to anyone on the fence about making the investment.
I do wish the package I bought had come with a carrying case. I purchased separately the Garrett acp camo carrying case, but admit, I am a little confused at how best to put my AT Pro into it. I have never seen a carry case that has the zipper on the opposite side of the carry handles and feel the addition of an adjustable hook and loop (velcro) strap system inside would help secure your AT pro in the excessive space within. this would allow for more efficient use of the external pouches which seem to be non specific to detecting and leftover design as a gun case. I think there is an opportunity for a universal hook and loop system. It would allow for customization to house everything in this and several other Garrett packages additional Garrett items for a beginner to aspire to owning, such as the different Garrett coils, headphones, shovels, picks and/or Pin Pointers.
