I'm buying one:detecting:

[Sonny(IN)]

I have to since I sold the E-trac..

My E-Trac is on the auction block, so I will also be buying this beast. When dealers are getting excited & they want to tell you things but are not allowed until Minelab releases the info first, that's gotta tell you that this machine could be ahead of its time.

Don,
I agree, I have had customers calling since my return from Minelab asking my thought's.......All I can say is WOW.

The time and thinking that were put into this new detector, I can say....(my personal wanted) top 5 items are in this detector.

I cannot talk too much about it until Minelab Catch's that ROO....Come out to a Minelabbing event near you May 19.

I have a great relationship with my supplier-I have purchased three machines from him in the past year two were Minelabs an Excal and Etrac. He is receiving a demo model which he can't sell for one year. I plan to take it for the weekend and I will do a side by side with my Etrac. I can't wait to hit some old sites that I have hit with my etrac, in particular I want to visit the trashy old sites and see if there will be a difference in target separation-which I understand there is, and, also, depth, which will be a huge selling point to me. In my mind I want to see a large improvement over my Etrac or I will be a tough sell. I am sure Minelab took the tiime to insure that this machine will be a large improvement over the Etrac or we wouldn't have had to wait for its release. I look forward to Youtube vids comparing these two machines. I would love to see it up against the %$*@ tool in terms of depth.

I think trashy beaches is where this machine will excel.

AKA Underwatermetal man...I wish this machine was rated to thirty feet!!!

Even though i can buy anything if no one tells my wife, still on the fence waiting to see what it can do.

Joe looking forward to your testing on this detector. Do you have any waterproof E-Tracs for sale?

 

[Don in South Jersey]

Also looking forward to your test Joe, keep us in the loop..

 

[underwatermetalman]

Love to, I have a helmet camera and will do side by sides for all to see, I think the dual target display will be huge in trashy areas. I have not heard anything about depth comparisons-I will do my best to show both. I believe that since we are not hearing about depth improvements my gut is telling me the depth will be similar.

All of this of course IMHO

I only buy used machines. Will keep my eyes open in the classifed forum for a used one but only after I see a few months worth of honest reviews.

I honestly don't think anybody would sell theirs based on all that I have read. I haven't heard any negatives from any dealer, and you gotta know that its not just for the sake of selling a new product to make a quick buck. You can buy a used Minelab, but I don't see a CTX leaving any ones arsenal in the near future.

 

[Joe of South Jersey]

I would agree with Don, I went to chicigo for training....All I could say was WOW, You can get it to do what?

JMHO

 

[Joe of South Jersey]

Frank,
You will go WOW, Really, I don't Believe it......I did.
