What's the one detector you won't part with?

After cutting back from 5 detectors a few hears back, i swore to the boss I'll only ever have 2 at any one time, prob is i fancy trying a couple of other current models, but also like both of the ones i have.
So i'd a tough decision today and put the Nexus to the knife, keeping my Golden Mask 5 cos it's such fun to swing, just couldn't part with it!
What detector would you not part with?

Gotta Be one??

right now it would be the &^(&@-&^%$#(

When I've got the buy and try itch no unit is safe.

Troy Shadow X5 for many reasons.......

1. Hard to find a good one in great shape
2. Light weight
3. Fun to use
4. The audio talks to me
5. build to last
6. lots of coils

TDI Pro.

I need to conditionalize my response,,,as long as it has repair support,,,Deus.

Only one is really difficult. I guess mine would have to be the Makro Racer 2 but I keep about 8 detectors to cover all my different detecting needs. Its kind of like asking what's the only tool you'd have in your tool box?

Hey Tom!!!

Long time no see!!

Good to see ya..

Hope all is well sir!

E-Trac - I primarily coin shoot on land in yards, schools, and parks.

But like Mike said, nothing is safe when something else peaks your interest. Assuming you could alway go back of course.

Thanks Keith. Been a little sick and super busy but I do manage to read all the posts most days.

For the time being, mine would easily be the Makro Racer 2.

Five years ago, my CZ70 (which I still have).

Ask me next year, and it could change

CZ6a

I'll tell you the ones I will part with...are the ones on borrow. That leaves 3 that I will keep because I'm a sentimental sap. Sooo many old coin finds It'd be like selling a great tool, tuff for me to do, like I said, sap.

After a long list ther is only one I miss and that is my Musketeer Advantage, But my MXT has replaced that, Since 2010 many have come and gone but one of the MXT has always been in my Kit,

Are there better machines out there ? Maybe.

Why have I stayed with the MXT's for all this time ? Well I found more in one month than I had in 6 years before using all the others, In fact I smashed my finds rate in the first week hunting in one companies Test site that has seen every machine since the 1960s,

For where I hunt nothing else seems you increase my finds rate and others have given up shaking their heads wondering how a machine that was made 17 years ago can out pace them, I don't know why it does but it just happens that way, Over 6 years of hunting with the MXT's and not once have I ever been skunked,

So with all of the above what else do I need, The design is robust and it does not fall over when I put it down I get over 60 hours from a set of batteries, Even after a Solid 8 to 10 hours a day detecting I still come off the field with a smile on my face,

I mean this in the nicest possible way But Some of you guys have had that many machines in the past year alone and here you are back to square one again, How much money have you lost buying and selling those new machines and has your finds rate covered those losses ?. The reason for this question is that if you have a favourite then stick with it, you will spend less time worrying about if you had the correct settings and you will know that you have given it your best shot.

All these new machines rename some features that were fitted on machines 30/40 years ago and some of them do quite well, But all these new machines Lack the Raw Power of some of the older machines, The machines I Own are the best at what they do and all the others on the market seem to have quirks and people except them even with such issues in their quest for more power/depth etc, Personally I would rather have a machine that works as it should giving a better overall average because I can take it anywhere and know that I have done the best that any machine can that's what gets results by being consistent.

Do you have some kind of key to decipher the code?
Maybe it's something your testing that hasn't come out yet?

The one detector I won't part with is my CTX. I would be happy to change if I could find something better for my type
of detecting and ground.

NY excal sword. I will never sell that one

Gold Bug 2

I would sell any of them. Thats my problem, I have had some good ones and sold them then regeretted it later.......;o(

CTX

Wouldn't part with the CTX-3030, at least until the CTX-3535.

One of my favorites is a very hot specimen Tesoro Toltec 100, it will stay with me....

CTX 3030

CTX until Ctx2 comes out

Also my ML musky, and Sov/Excalibur aren't going anywhere either

I can't be without a Tejon. Now I have a Deeptech Warrior competing with it.

Everything has a price. I grew up with my mother being the manager and owner of a pawn shop so wheelin and dealin is in my blood. I am not emotionally attached to any detector. If I have what somebody wants, it is nothing for me to sell it if their willing to pay. I like the GPX extremely well but I think I have owned 5 of them over the last few years. Buy them as I need them, use them til I don't and then get something else. I like my MX Sport pretty well but I'm entertaining trading or selling it just to try something else.

I'm with you, Daniel.

Love 'em and leave 'em. Kick 'em to the curb for an easy buck once they no longer serve me any useful purpose. No sense letting them hang around until they get old and worthless.

I'm a heartless bastard with my exes.

yeah ive sold them all.. ive used the f75 of diff variants the most along with mxt.. but i really liked the etrac but it was so unbalanced it hurt an old injury between my shoulders so the 705 is close for me.. im not mattied to any of them.
