Years ago, my wife and kids were always asking me what I wanted for Christmas. It was usually metal detecting related.......gloves, knife, camera, lenses........

Got a Predator Raptor digger in an unopened box sitting under my Christmas tree. Ordered it for myself on my wife's behalf. Been dying to take it out and play with it, but I know better than that. 
I'm actually kind of glad it's freezing outside.

If you are good with a calculator, it tells you everything. ie - the exact location down to 9 decimal places.
That reminds me......I lost mine this summer. I too need a new one. Thanks for the reminder.
Yes! You will make millions, guaranteed!

Sorry John didn't mean to come off as some a-hole, you just don't anything about me.
I just happen to be feeling in the spirit.
I'm a single guy and have been very blessed. I own 4 cars, two are 2017's, and the others collector Mustangs. I'm a Mustang guy. My house is paid off and I have a very good IT job that I'm about to retire from. A couple of my kids were having vehicle issues, I have 4 kids and 15 grand kids, and it hit me I could make a lot of others lives a lot easier by spreading my blessings around. I sold one of my Mustangs and bought two of my kids cars for Christmas and gave the other two a good amount of cash. I took every name tag off the company Angle tree and bought them all Christmas. I then bought my hunting buddy a CTX 3030 for Christmas. I bought myself a fully loaded XP Deus and also a CTX 3030, and I bought myself a new guitar.
I have hording my goodies thinking that when I pass my kids could keep or sell my assets. Then I thought why wait? Why not enjoy it now. I've already been told I can't take it with me.

LOL. Sorry but as I said I'm pretty much a Mustang guy.
No I just felt that, other than the guitar, everything else I listed fit the OP's request. Each one included a coil or pinpointer which I'd call "gear". I also bought myself a new DJI Mavic Pro Drone which I also consider metal detecting gear. For that fact I'd also call my detectors gear as well.
As far as cars I'm more into quick than fast. I wouldn't want to drive 200 mph on our Kansas roads. I've had my 2015 Mustang GT to 155 mph, still in 5th, and although the car drove like it was 55, the thought of hitting a pothole at 155 slowed me down real quick. No I like the thrill and adrenaline rush of going 0-130+ in 10 seconds much better.
