If you could only have one metal detector which brand and model would you buy or use. Also tell us why, and the main type of hunting you do most of the time.
Remember, you can only have one detector to hunt with for this question.
A further qualification for this question is don't waste time and space to say why you would not use band x and model y. That tends to get the thread canceled after a few heated replies.
This is forcing the multi detector owners to make a choice so we can learn from their opinions. A lot of us only have one detector and or choose not to own multiple brands and models.
******************** Results **********************
Here are the results so far as of Jan 12, 2018. A lot of people indicated the type of detecting they favored eg, beach, land, gold nuggets and coins and that seem to mirror their choice of detector’s strong points. Which made total sense.
CTX 3030 – 10
Equinox (both 600/800) – 9 *
Etrac – 7
Xp Deus – 2
Explorer – 2
Multi Kruzer – 2
All others – 1 each
Out of 54 people responding
Several ranked two or three detectors and I only counted the top one.
Not trying to prove at all this detector is better than that detector or even start up that type of thread.
Note: Nox users did not indicate 600 or 800 so lumped them into to just Nox category And had they done so I suspect etrac would be in position #2.
