Del,
Yep. Whatever unit is my "main" detector, I like to try to have two of them -- one here in Oklahoma as a "primary," and then a "backup," just in case (which I keep at my mom's house in Pennsylvania). Usually, we drive up there, so hauling detecting gear is no big deal, but on the occasions where I fly up for a long weekend and can't haul my junk, it's nice to have one there/available (hard to pass up detecting opportunities in the Northeast!) Primarily though, it's a "backup" machine, in case my primary goes "on the fritz." And especially in this case, as my "primary" CTX didn't have warranty left on it, I felt it even more important to have two. I had two Explorers, but when one recently kicked the bucket, my choices were -- replace it with another Explorer, or move to a newer FBS model. In the end, I chose to move up to the CTX -- and I found quickly that I LOVE that machine. But, that left me with the desire to go ahead and replace that OTHER Explorer, as well, and get second/backup CTX to replace IT.
Thanks to Sod-buster, I now have that second CTX -- but THIS time, one WITH warranty...so, my "primary" machine just became my "backup!"
Anyway, I'm blessed to have both, and with an Equinox coming shortly, I should have all the bases covered -- deep coin hunting, and (hopefully with the Equinox) a very good iron unmasker.
dewcon,
Truer words have never been spoken. If we don't have our integrity, we have nothing, in my opinion...
