This was actually my 2nd AT MAX purchase. I got the 1st one 8 months ago, but wanted a 2nd so my husband & I can both hunt at the same time. I can tell you that this is a FANTASTIC piece of equipment. And it is TOUGH. I have used and abused it a few times a week for 8 months now and it still performs like new. I did hours and hours of research on which detector to get. I really wanted to get a different branded one for my 2nd purchase just to try another out and compare, but for the value of this package deal & versatility of the AT Max & how much I love the one I already have, I just couldn’t see why I would get anything else. Because of its toughness and all terrain abilities/versatility, you can’t go wrong with this baby. Just get it, you’ll be happy! Read more

The metal detector itself is great. I did get a crazy amount of static while on a sandy beach and next to another person with a MD (and not sure exactly where the static came from). I changed the frequency and that helped for a minute but it came back after a little while. I'm not sure if it was dying batteries, mineralized ground (it was sand on an artificial beach with really dense clay about +36" under, nails all over the place too, on a beach!), or the headphones that was causing the interference/noise. Anyways, for anyone who is willing to read a manual a couple times and watch a couple hours of youtube, while just going out and tinkering, it should be pretty straight forward. My only regret is not researching how difficult it is to find a place to metal detect. I doubt I would have gotten one otherwise. Check you local ordinances! A lot of cities and parks have an outright ban on metal detecting. A lot of places that you think you would be able to go, like city parks, have "No Digging" posted in the rules because the first couple waves of hobbyist metal detectors (and pirates) didn't fill in their holes and ruined it for everyone behind them. If you're not afraid to door knock and ask people if you can MD on private property, then go for it. If you're super introverted, and don't want to grow out of your shell, look for a different hobby.

So an excellent metal detector , a big jump from my old garret ace 250 and some learning to do on the new machine however when it arrived it wouldn't turn on , after checking the batteries and battery compartment i noticed 1 of the 4 batteries had corroded, luckily the terminals were not corroded so i could load a new set of batteries and off i went . For an 800 pound machine i would expect a bit more quality control, i have contacted the seller but i am still waiting to hear back Pretty much a really good metal detector but just make sur no batteries are corroded away (Update , still no reply from seller 3 months later 🤷‍♂️) Read more
