Need Advise On Detector Decision :unsure:

[reddirtfisher]

Hey Guys, I've been gone for a while but now I'm back and could appreciate some help in making a purchasing decision. I'm the kind of detectorist who likes to have the same coil collection to use on all my detectors. I have an IDX Pro with 950 and 5.3 bullseye coils. I also have a DFX with 950 and shooter coils. Here is where I can't decide what to do. Should I keep the IDX and sell the DFX and get an XLT or should I keep the DFX and sell the IDX and get an M6? What would you do? Confusing isn't it? I would like to keep the IDX and get an XLT but my gut feeling tells me that Whites will someday discontinue the XLT like the have done with the IDX. I am trying to scale down a bit so that I won't have so many extra coils to tote around. It would be nice if detector companies would stick to ONE frequency so we won't have this coil problem. I know this sounds nuts but it's important to me. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks for your time and hope you guys find the big one this summer!!! HH from RDF

I'd keep the DFX and add an M6 or MXT. With the new V3 in the line as well, the coil compatibility covers 4 different detectors and should be around for a long time. JMHO

Keep the IDX and sell the DFX. Use the cash to buy an explorer SE PRo or an MXT.

Go for the MXT . You will be well pleased.

Sell the IDX and DFX. Purchase an MXT and work like heck to find enough stuff to get a V3. Minelab is fine but the V3 is the funnest detector to learn ever.
