Too late JT. In a round a bout way I made a trade for a used E-Trac with some extra goodies. I've read the rumors about the next best thing from FT but nothing regarding a firm release date. I usually wait until several units are in the field before leaping on the new machine band wagon. Don't get me wrong, I'm as fickle as they come, I just tend to wait until I'm reasonably sure that all the bugs have been worked out first.

Heathkit from 1970 (needs batteries)

Bounty Hunter - Prospector - SOLD in 2009

Bounty Hunter 3300 (should sell)

Fisher F-4 (should sell)

White's Surfmaster PI+ - It's a keeper!

XP Deus with 9" and 13"X11" coils - It's a keeper!

Vibraprobe - It's a keeper!

Makes 4 KEEPERS + 2 for sale...that's not too bad?

I recommend anyone owning more than 3 should go to THERAPY or consult with their DOCTOR. Owning 16 detectors is a serious case of detectoritis!!!

Very cool Tom. Now, where did I put that extra grand or two.... ;-) Seriously, I can't think of anyone that could 'tweak' one better for our conditions than you could. I may take you up on that sometime soon...

Holy Cow some of you guys are like women with shoes! LOL
I have two, an Omega 8000 (which I'll probably sell) and a White's V3i (only have had it 1 week). I'm getting used to the weight again, that Omega is light.
Might get a Deus but would like to wait to see what FT comes out with next.

I'm excessive with EVERYTHING I do ......I'm doing pretty well with detectors though ......I only have about a1/2 dozen now .......That's REALLY GOOD for me !!...I'm up to about 40 rods and reels ........I have about 50 guitars electric , acoustic , bass, 12 string , six string , etc .......I have probably 30 amplifiers ......I have 4 kayaks ........3 power boats .........5 motorcycles ....... tons of recording studio gaar ...... oh !!....and I just took up golf !!.....LOL !!!..... " HI , MY NAME IS JIM, AND I'M A TOYAHOLIC !!!" .......

Frankly as inexpensive as they are , and as many models as there are , I'm surprised that more people don't own Tesoro's ....I thought that everyone would own at least one Tesoro ......hmmmmm !!....Jim

Synthnut, I recall years ago a store called "Play it Again". The guy sold used sporting goods and musical equipment. Your post reminds me of that place.
Oh yea, golf, hope you have patience. Good game and you probably can afford it.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.... I bought all these things when I was working ....I had a house with a barn and 87 acres ....I was going to convert the barn into a recording studio ..... My son, who is disabled, needed better services than what was offereed in the area , and the spcialized school that he attended shut down , so I had to move where there was better services for him .... That kinda put an end to the rcording studio , and to all the other toys too for that matter .....Now there is no money around , and I can't sell any of them for much money !!...... After having so many toys , I can tell you from experience that the only thing that is REALLY important is your family, your friends , and your health ....I'm not only caring for my son, but also a brother who has esophagael cancer and was just given 3 mos to live from his doctors ....... I would trade everything I own to have a few additional days wtih my brother !!...... Jim

truer words have never been spoken!
what use is money if health issues are paramount!
when you are "expired" you can't enjoy your money!
