I already have 10 in my garage. And I am still buying more. At which point would you consider it too many. 
How many machines do you guys think is too many?

"Too many" is a relative and subjective term , depends on the person and their point of view. But atleast the way I see it....
1. If you have more than you actually use you probably have too many.
2. If you ever struggle to pay bills you probably have too many.
3. If you rely on any government assistence financially , and you have even one detector , you probably have too many.

I can't really think of ANY reason to have more than two.
One primary and one backup.
If I were to purchase more, I would sell one each time so as to not have more than two.

hey now all ya gotta do is make you a spider rig for all those detectors and you can use em all at one time lol cover ten times the area that way. gonna have to find someone to dig for ya though cause its gonna be hard to bend down or over with all them detectors strapped to ya lol
It's a hobby. Wish I could afford more vehicles to transport detectors in

ill put it this way i have $2000 invested already easily, probably even more, detectings more addicting than fishing. ive been fishing for 14 years and havent spent as much as i have on detectors so im probably over doing it.

Any more than 4 and you're a hoarder.
Not really. I used to own 4 boats at one time. Harder for others to figure out where I was fishing because I switched boats all the time.

+1 for sure. I've got my MXT Pro for ground and my AT-Pro for water. If I feel the need I'll use my ATP for ground. Or when my headset for my MXT died I used my ATP for the rest of the day. Both are always ready to go and do go with me on hunt days.
If you have more than you and your friends can use or have machines you have not used in /????3 weeks you should probably sell a few. If you dont need the money then pass that "Great deal" on to someone who cant afford a new machine at face value. Give some lesser person the chance to enjoy a NICE machine. Charity in other words.
No, IM not looking.

i only use 3 of them on a semi regular basis, those would be my 2 seahunter mk2's and my whites mxt. i havent touched the others in a month at least.

No reason to hold on to them then. Make some kind of contest with one of the machines the prize. Or find some way to see who needs one the most as a decent back up and let them make you an offer. ?? Just idea shooting.

ive become more of a beach hunter because ive cleaned out all the parks near me i have a jar with 600 clad coins from all the local parks, i go back to them 2 times a week and can spend a hour before getting a hit. the beaches are replenished much more often thus more entertaining to hunt.

I'm gonna have a real hard time letting go my AT Pro after I get my e-trac coming one of these days. Almost some sentimental values to my machines, I probably won't be able to rid my AT Pro.

i havent sold my silver sabre 2 cause its the first machine i bought. and it holds value. I want a etrac, a V3i and a Deus. At least before im done buying.
True. I've thought of it. I also thought of a wide roller that would record signals and record them on a gps. Then you just go to the park with your gps and digger. Can't do any damage with a roller and can't be seen with a detector. Thinking gets me in trouble though.
