Garrett AT Gold works better on terrain
This metal detector is waterproof but it will not perform as well on salt water as in the terrain, whereas the AT Pro was made for both salt and fresh waters.
Garrett AT Gold does state that it doesn’t perform well in saltwater conditions however it is designed for highly-mineralized soil where gold is commonly found. This is solely down to the higher frequency of the Gold which is 18 kHz. Basically, this means that even if it’s waterproof it will not be as good as on terrain because of the interference of different frequencies.

That being said let’s talk about the Garrett AT Gold based on the UK performance and reviews.
I like to state whether I have used a machine before I review it, or if it is based on the research and findings of other users and professionals.
So to clarify I personally have not used the Garrett AT Gold because I like to metal detect for all terrain and find usual small and hidden treasure. So everything documented here is research and based on other customer Garrett AT Gold Reviews.

Design and Appearance of the Garrett AT Gold
The Garrett AT Gold looks basically the same as the AT Pro the only thing that has changed really is the size of the search coil.
It breaks down into just a few sections which makes it perfect for transportation and storage. (If you ever want to put it away of course) You have the control panel, the upper and lower stem and the search coil (5?x8?) along with the attaching wing nut.

The machine takes 4 AA batteries and these are placed in a compartment in the control panel.
It also has an internal built-in speaker, but it does include a jack for headphone use. The Gold is designed to be easily assembled.
It is again a gun-metal black color, with the grip and elbow padding being black. Owners of this have reported this as being a very comfortable machine to use.
The control panel has been kept simple again with all of the buttons in easy reach of thumbs and fingers, so you can glance and select keeping your focus on the ground.
It features the LED display which is simple and clear.
