Since I bought my ATP I have been keeping a spreadsheet of my finds everyday I go out and I update it each time. I did the same with my ACE 250 after I bought it.
For the heck of it today I compared my daily take of the two detectors just to see how they compare as far as how much I find each day. I know it's not scientific because there is no way of knowing if I would have found the same amount with each detector. However the places I hunt are similar.
My ave daily find for the ACE 250 = $2.11
My ave daily find for the ATP = $5.29 per day
I feel the investment in the ATP is well worth the extra money you pay for over the ACE 250 and I am not knocking the ACE 250 I still like it.
When my 14 yr old grandson goes with me he uses the 250 and I grant you he is not as skilled as i am with it, but in the same areas we hunt I always find about twice as much as him
Example one day we had a great hunt at school. He found $6.75 and I found $11.40
I love my ATP and I learn a lil more about it each time I use it. I bought it because Bart at Big Boys Hobbies recommended it.
