But I'll never selly bandido II micromax[/quote]

thats what I meant when i started this thread...people seem to love this detector.... for all different sorts of reasons.....seems to be a very smoove rig

 

[amberjack]

just to put on my psychologists hat for quick minute, I do believe suggestion is a powerful tool and if some say its good who others may hold in higher than "normal" regard then whether its good or not people believe its good, and "good" is a very subjective word "good" compared to what ?

its a metal detector they all have strengths and weaknesses finding out what they are sets someone on the right path to know when and where to use any tool.

because new isnt always better... the b side to that 45 sounds like this... why does everyone want to blow tons of cash on the latest fancy gadgets, bells and whistles, when what they have works perfectly well. old cars trucks detectors, guitars, camera lenses, ammunition, .... the tommy gun, browning .50cal.... the list is endless...the latest cheaply made plastic flashy gadgetry gimicks often does not have the quality, workmanship, performance or styling of those things no longer produced... .. i still shoot a recurved bow, because i prefer the simplicity, performance and lines... same as a .45acp.... ever wonder why no one trick shoots with semiauto handguns? because you can more innately draw a peacemaker and intrinsicaly point and shoot better with it. i am still slapping a 1977 fender jazz bass through a classic ampeg tube cabinet... running old zeiss camera lenses made in the 50s....some hits are just out of the park, and no amount of tinkering can improve on the original... change some things and you only degrade them....

Herb, you've been around. Good post.

I understand the different points of view in this thread, but my opinion is and always has been - - if YOU like it, use it. Don't be concerned about someone else's opinion. Also, I often puzzle over those that worship bells and whistles on newer machines. Handy, yes, but they don't ultimately do more than inform that the coil is over a metal target, just the same as the simplest early beep and dig machines.Use what you like and have fun and find lots of goodies.

Just got a new Vaquero today. I hope it's as good as that Bandido. I had a Cibola and loved it but alas it went the way of many. This one is a keeper. I think now I may sell my Shadow X2. Have to think on that.

Rusty Henry at Tesoro told me that the Outlaw was set up with a little more juice that the B2. The conversation was a few years ago so I cannot recall exactly what he said, but I seem to recall him saying that the Outlaw was about 15% deeper and the disc expansion was set a little wider at the top end, than the B2. I never ran a B2 so I could not speak from actual experience, but that is what I was told.

I see that about the disc difference, but depth seems about the same to me, at least with the examples I have here. It's probably just the way Bandido looks and sounds, that makes me want to grab it first. Outlaw is just as capable.
I go through periods of pulling out models I haven't used for a while and playing with 'em for a week or two. Outlaw with 8", and Mojave in the car right now. Think I'll run a different combo next week. It's been warm here the past few days; time to hit those sled runs and see what the snow dummies left..

I do the same pinenut.
Makes it harder to learn any if them really well, but I bore easily.
Luckily I have 11 machines to keep my interest.
I have started picking ones I like more for certain hunting.
Looking forward to taking the Mojave and Deleon out to some parks.
