First texas ended distributor distrobution couple months ago. Has moved to factory direct or factory to dealer model. They have and will be passing this this distribution savings on to dealers and consumers with agressive pricing. I suspect they will always have a promo on a model or two.
they will have to because niche beach pi machine market probably wont even pay one engineer for a year.

FYI the camo's were made up to 12/17 so plenty of newer camos and regulars since the camo's you tested. Just wanted to make that clear before any false non-camo's are better rumors start. lol

Yep, good points. Garrett has no worries. I'd be concerned on the other two but we all hope for the best! Fisher and Tek are dear to my heart. *crossing fingers*

Isn't this the idea of the mythical fisher CZX that was talked about in a slideshow 3 years ago?

Good question will require a new lcd/ribbon assembly I would bet
Was it this way out of the box or did it happen after a fall/impact with something? Reminds me when a pressure on laptop lcd where ribbon connects gets damaged and pixels virtically from damaged l

Garrett. But they are 4" shorter and dual tabs are parrallel to coil bolt instead of single perpendicular.
Makro, First Texas, Tesoro, Whites all 1mm too narrow.

I've been using the CTX and Equinox most of the last month. Some side by side some going over the same areas. If you dig all non-ferrous, you aren't missing anything with either. If you are coin shooting, you will have to still dig all non-ferrous with equinox to achieve same results as CTX. ID accuracy and more importantly telling you to dig vs not dig (audio and visual clues) make

Honestly, they dont even compare. CTX is in a different league. More so if you are a coin shooter/park/yard hunter. High disc and high trash setting is where the magic happens for coins. Recovery speed dont mean anything when your dector can ignore disc'd trash signal and sound off on the weaker accepted signal. plus modulation and target trace.

Supertuned and with slightly negative GB should be monster deep in your soil. At least on low conductors. Normal out of the box type settings will be underwhelming from what you are used to.

This soil is 3 bar dirt with lots small pieces of iron/nails and leaching. The CZ concentric puts it at a disadvantage in the test. It still did way better than another machine that was already put back up and didn't participate. Most single freq machines cant reliably id anything at this site past a few inches.

Here is an example of a 7" barber quarter on Etrac CZ70 and Nox 600. Ground is 3 bar dirt which obviously put the CZ concentric at a disadvantage. Just shows you how much bad dirt

It's good...not great. pretty much anything hitting copper or higher is roll the dice and dig although silver does seem to be more of a higher number "bounce". Not necessarily something that says I'm silver not copper.

My only complaint is the slow turn on. Just like TRX was originally. You do have to stretch the holster to fit better. It's a round holster same as garrett but pin pointer is now. My leather buzz bomb shealth is slowly molding of the Tek-Point/F-Pulse.

metaldetectors.com and kellyco are the same company.
now metaldetector.com is the US Deus/Makro distro. You'd think kellyco and other retails would no longer take money for pre-orders. But they do sell long range locators....so...
