Detector(s) used
XP Deus, Garrett AT Max, Nokta Simplex +, Nokta Legend ,Garrett Pro Pointer , Fisher F Point, Garrett Digging Tool, Gator Razor, Digging Tool, Sampson Digger, Get the Track Hoe! It's a deep one! :)
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
There are 4 that I can think of off hand. 1. Is the Anderson MD stand. It stops the ATP from falling over,on it's side,and also raises it up off the ground to give you a little more length for the headphone cord. 2. Is the mount for the Pro pointer. This is most likely the BEST of the bunch! Your PP is always right there,for easy access,and the added weight really makes the ATP balance well,even with the stock coil. 3. The world famous 5X8 DD coil. This is a must have item if you hunt areas full of trash (like city parks,school grounds,ect.) You can go from constantly digging trash,to separating coins from the trash. 4. The Garrett Pro Pointer! Hunting without one is like driving blindfolded down the highway!:laughing7:

Off hand I'd have to say the rabbits foot I added.:laughing7: No, I am sorry, I just can't get on the AT PRO band wagon. It took 3 different detectors to get a unit that works as advertised. While it might be decent now, I have no confidence in it like I do my other water detectors. I just find no use for a water detector that has a screen as I feel the screen is for hunters that like the option of not digging the target because it doesn't ring up high enough in the screen. The AT PRO is not the king of the beaches but does fairly well on dry land and you have to like the weight of it. Maybe next year with the addition of a new "improved" model from someone.

I do like the stand"rabbits foot". It can go from one detector to another in seconds,and keeps the detectors upright!
 

My best accessory for the ATP are my ears. LoL The machine seems heavy enough with the stock coil so i don't want to make it more so. After a 4-5 hr hunt, you feel it. The smaller DD coil is the only addon i purchased.
 

Miltec cover; it makes a nice protector.
 

Where can you get the miltec cover and the pro pointer holder? I'm assuming they'll both fit the AT Gold?

I pop riveted mine .....100_0501.JPG it also keeps the Pro pointer in place...
 

Metal Detector Accessories  - Home is the cover that I use. You must call or email Van and he will issue an invoice. I apologize if it is against forum policy to post a link, I have to affiliation to this site nor do I get any compensation from them either.
 

Thanks Rks & badpenny! I'm going to get the cover and pin pointer holder. I really need to upgrade my shovel..thinking about one of the predator tools shovels, something for the CT roots and rocks...Any suggestions/reviews? Thanks again. HH
 

I carry a good pair of pruning shears and use a T-Handle Lesche at the places where people don't see and a hand one where they do.
 

I bought some vet wrap at Tractor Supply to wrap around and protect my ATP grip. It also allows you to grip it easier. It's like the stuff they wrap around your arm when you give blood. Less than 3 dollars and comes in different colors, including black.image.jpg
 

I would say:
#1 Pro Pointer
#2 Gunrunners Pro Pointer mount
#3 Lesche digger
#4 5" X 8" DD coil
 

I ordered the Pro Pointer holder, we'll see how that works.

Never have given any second thought to the weight. I don't think that I have ever been fatigued, even after an 8hr hunt....I must be a machine! Lol.
