Bye Bye Racer soon.

While I agree LOCATION is among the most important factors to a successful hunt, But even a old coin rich location is worthless without a good detector capable of taking advantage of that great location.

Our club hunted the city park for 20 years with all kinds of different machines. Not beginner detectorist either, but well seasoned hunters. We used all kinds of detectors from Garrett's Tesoro's and never found anything but a hand full of wheats that were more than likely recent drops. Not until one day I bought a new high tech detector and took it to that park just for testing. What I found was thousands of old coins we had missed all those years. So many that there were more multiple coin holes than single coin holes. The coins had been dropped for so many years they were stacked on top of one another. My buddies bought them a new high tech detector and those detectors turned what we thought was a cleaned out baron site to one of the coin rich site to date.

Location is important, but having a good detector rates very highly as well.

Just curious Southwind was that the E trac? I love mine.

There is no such thing as a 'perfect' detector. You did learn early on that there could be one very good 'specific purpose' detector for one or two types of comparable sites, but it really takes more than one detector to make a more versatile detecting arsenal.

As for a "couple three detectors" I think it could be simplified by saying 'some' or 'a few' because the number of different makes and models it might take to satisfy someone's outfit to be very versatile could be two, or it might be half-a-dozen to a wider range.

Ok Monte, I confess. innochio I currently have 'several'. Seven if I have to be exact. However, I am under pressure to thin the collection to those I use. I have a Golden µMax, a Sov GT, and Golden Sabre that aren't likely to be used anytime soon. My wife and I just moved and our new space is much smaller with less storage for extra stuff. I really need to trim down to a couple four.

BTW Monte, Looking forward to 2018 WTHO's.

An avid Tesoro enthusiast who likes some of the oldies ought to see the beautiful condition of that original Golden Sabre. Not only a very functional devise, it is one of the cleanest, almost 'as-new' looking specimens I have seen in a long, long time.

As for 2018's WTHO's, I hope to have a Forum post about them soon, but an e-mail will go out to all those on the WTHO Contact List as there will probably be three scheduled for somewhere between mid-April and mid-June. Then, if we can come up with another site where it isn't too blasted hot, we can work in a 4th WTHO next year.

Looking forward to the Outings and seeing all the good folks who attend. [size=small](By the way, those are Diet Dr. Pepper Floats.)[/size]

100% changed my mind.

I'm keeping the Racer 2 and sticking with Major!
