If you could have any Detector?????

[don716]

If you had the money and could have "ONE" Detector which one would you buy and WHY? I'm just courious on what's most popular and why.I know they are alot of them out there but there has to be one you would love to have because of the features,ease of use,or being so light,or just would like to have something different.Now, What would that be?????????and WHY?????????

my dfx of course....only because im now learning how to use it and i may be getting over that learning curve, also this is my first real detector. i might take the v3

[fir469]

I have been dying to get my hands on an ETrac... I want one so bad I can taste it, but can't afford one...

[9 Volt]

I'd probably buy a Tejon. (I wouldn't get rid of my Vaquero.)

But I'm going to pick one up in the future anyway.

I would like to try an Infinium and a Nautilus DMC IIB though.

[Howey01]

I would love to have a V3 but the finances are not there yet. Howard

[Lightningjack]

I've been hinting to the wife for an E-Trac for Christmas....

[randwool]

Several V3's and ETracs have been sold recently over at the T*e*s*r* D*p*t for good used prices.

[Diggler]

I think I would take a Minelab GPX 4500 Metal Detector. Then I would sell it immediately for $4000 and get a V3 and an E-Trac. But seriously... I checked them both out today at my local dealer. The V3 was lighter than I imagined and the menu was pretty intuitive. The E-Track "felt" heavier. Maybe it was the squishy handgrip or just the way it is balanced. The thing about either of those detectors is, I would probably hunt in AM or minimum DISC, so I really can't justify spending that much (yet). I think I would go with the V3 mainly so I would "know" what frequency I was using.

I have owned about every Tesoro model except the Cortes, I would like to try one some day. Gessh you would think the Tesoro factory would send me one for all the advertising I have done for them over the years

[sllingshot47]

The Golden Umax. It puts out so much info without having to look at a meter, has the famous Tesoro characteristics, gives this info in the a/m mode tonewise, gives notch in tough situations and can still be used as a beep-dig machine. It's 3 detectors in one. And if you're still fussy about them, Steve, send me one and I'll end your misery.

If I had one I would send it to ya, I do like my Tesoro's but the Golden uMax is not one of them.

I buy what ever detector I want. There is no one best detector believe me. Besides that, what is my dream detector may be your nightmare. I love my E-Trac for hunting deep coins in parks and yards. The F70 is my favorite for field hunting. My MXT and Spectra are great all around machines, I can use anywhere. My Tesoro Compadre is my go to machine for winter time hunting on sledding hills. I'm glad I don't have to pick just one, it would be tough.

[Blueonceagain]

I might try an xp Goldmax Power one day and I would also like to try an F75 but even if I could afford to spend £1000+ on a new machine I dont think I would.Starts to become a very expensive hobby then.Largely though not totally paid for my last machine from £1 coin finds.Collection is up to £48 again +1/4 ounce of gold(st christopher).Come March who knows.

[Spleenu]

I already have the one I want, the MXT. I like doing a variety of types of detecting. If I could have any other one, and still keep the MXT, I would probably get a Minelab GPX 4500.

[Stang1968]

Well I may as well shoot for top of the line and say a V3, but more realistically, I'd like to go for a DFX.
I have no expierence with Minelab detectors, but I could probably be swayed over to the E-Trac if I got to actually handle one.

[JBEXPRESS]

It would be the White's Dual Field P.I. or the Minelab Excalibur II for sure, because I am in Florida and I am around beaches all the time. Still saving up for one. lol

[Jason in Enid]

I already have it, it's the E-Trac. Best machine I have ever used!

[Cfmct-PI]

I'd like to try the TDI or one of Jeff Fosters detectors..

[John S]

The old CZ's are no. 1 in my book.

[t20tvo]

a cross between the ace 250 and the minelab explorer se pro as i can use them both great im using the se at the moment but always wonder if the ace would find the little silver that the se missed or the other way round so a mix of the 2 would be my ideal machine
