Ok What would happen?

[sirwalle]

What I was wondering. What would happen if you took a cheep Md and a upgrade Md. In the same area. lets say you use the cheep one first. And then upgrade md. Would you find more stuff with the upgrade than the cheep one?

Actually I did just that one time. I put my Fisher 1266 against a Shadow X2 that was new and ran them both a number of hours over different kinds of targets. By far the Fisher sounded off much deeper than the Shadow. steve in so az

Absolutely! Provided you know how to use them properly.

Here's some help for you sirwalle.

I think that if you were a master with the cheaper one you could out perform the more expenisive one. You know the saying that if you master the detector it shouldn't matter what one you use. So I think that it has to deal with you knowing the detector. So I don't know yet I think that it could go either way.

Well, not sure.

Owning two detectors is only interesting providing they would work on different ways.

For instance A 6'5 Khz and a 12+ Khz

Motion and non motion.

Digital and analogic.

My small 6"coiled TR detector finds amazingly goodies that my "sherman tank" Sov GT missed. A question of iron masking in this case, but examples are numerous.

Don't overlook cheap detectors ! Just look at the finds made with Compadres, and you will be convinced !

Sirwalle, I think its like this. you could put an amateur on a 10 thousand dollar Italian racing bike and put Lance Armstrong on a Wal mart bike and Lance would blow his doors off in a race. Their are advantages to better machines but only if you have spent many hours in the saddle. Thats what i think, hey you asked.lol.
