As of current day,what are your detecting arsenals , primary and backups...including shovels and or sand scoop(s).
Thanks in advance!

Manticore.

Stealth 920iX with carbon fiber shaft.
ACE Lifetime Garden shovel.

My main unit for everyday is a T2.Although I jump around alot I keep a T2 ALWAYS ready to go.It just plain works and gets 90 percent of what is there. rest of the time I'm using HF units for unmasking the hardest of targets.

Backups well about everything under the sun Sometimes in double so I dont have to change coils just grab machine with coil size I need..I dont have anything rare or stuff I havent already talked about so backups are just whatever I want to swing or think will give and edge.Like say a sovereign for a certain trashy site full of big iron buts fresh and not hunted yet.I want to get the big stuff out first.like buckles and high coins.then worlkon it slower with iron sifter units.

But If I could only have one metal detector it would be T2.if I could have Two it would be a T2 and a Vista X.


Shovels=1944 Ames Entrenching tool 95% of the time and a Drain spade for deep soft dirt sites.

Only the Manticore is left? Very telling.

I'm surprised that the Tarsacci MDT 8000 wasn't mentioned. Is the Manticore that good?

Sniff>Sniff did someone open a can of sardines?

I surely thought at least one of the XP products would have made the cut.

Keith you keep a Nautilus around for nostalgic reasons if nothing else?

Wow Keith, after all the detectors you have reviewed and tested over the years your go to is a good ole T2, that's something, I'm gonna get me one for the naily spots now.

I guess Ole' Kieth Southern don't use a Nauty anymore, LOL! My shoulder can not swing one myself these days even with whites rod set-up that and the thinner coils going bad and state of company made me shy away. But the original thicker coil ones Jerry made were killer in my moderate ground anyway. I think Tom has one in his collection?

Dang! I got big timed again , LOL!

Deus 2, extreme titanium scoop with shark skin carbon fiber shaft. Predator shovel.

How is that Extreme Titanium scoop. It has to be so light.

Yes the extreme titanium scoop is like a feather. I absolutely love it.
