Hey Monte. Been a while. I currently do not have a foreign unit. But.... I have been following your posts. Where I love America, I also love to find stuff. Money is an issue, as well as weight. And screen size. I do hunt anywhere I can and trash is a problem, non ferrous small City urban teardowns in the city that's 1880s and demographics changed to slum, to redo, save, rebuild, move houses, build new, in the small historic district.
Several parks lost to football and softball fields, old schools torn down or renovated for apartments etc... It's wildly varied.
Recently graced by God to recover from cancer, get diabetes reversed with diet, no meds, hernia now to get fixed. Back at work and support disabled wife, I am pleased to be able to hunt some no matter meager finds. A $1000 machine is not for me. Found a steal at pawnshop on ATPro. Rest of my stable, a MXT series E, a Eldorado umax, Silver Sabre Plus I traded my Compasses XP 350 and gold scanner pro with Sandman for the Tesoros. . Throw in a Compadre for granddaughter and an old compass Hustler and Daytona 2 for giggles. I do not have a lot of money in these at all. The AT Pro was right place right time $150 bucks I knew the pawnbroker very well. The machines former owner caused him unnecessary wrong problems so he wanted to get it gone. Was mint! It's my main machine.
Price. Visual screen, I am farsighted, weight, trash areas, variety hunting , don't live near coast and most Georgia national or state seashore and banned
