Want to get a new detector for my birthday. What do you think I should get?

Jorge,
Both the F5 and Omega have the ability to be ran at very sensitive levels and are susceptible to EMI but have features to help mitigate it.

One of those features they both have is the unique feature that uses the ground signal to help supress EMI noise. If you have some level of ground minerals, you can run hotter settings by setting up with the coil in motion over the ground. Instead of finding the stable setting with the coil held still, you find the stable setting with the coil in motion. The detector will be quiet and stable as long as the coil is in motion over the ground, but when you stop sweeping, like when recovering a target, the thing will chatter like a banshee because the ground signal is no longer present.

This feature only works when there are ground minerals available. It won't work in woodchips or silica/coral sands because there are no minerals the detector can use as a reference.

The G2 and from what I hear its Fisher cousins are pretty amazing. They are very simple to use. Amazingly light weight and they pull targets out of iron like you can't believe. We all read the detector hype and the claims but I have to say the G2 is one of the few detectors that does exactly what it said it would do when it was introduced. I showed my neighbor kid how to use mine and his second hunt he pulled an 1865 two cent piece out of a bed of nails.
I think it is a perfect second detector. It is so much fun to use that you will pick it up and leave your other machines sitting. I say use it first and take one of your heavy hitters back to clean up.

Mike, it appears as though you're more than competent to answer your own question.

You've swung more detectors than I've ever thought of owning!

Maybe a Deux or Blisstool?
 
Mike, have you played with an E-Trac ?

If not, get one, it works around / in black sand well for me and also does not suffer from EMI as much as other detectors that I've used.

I now own just two detectors that fit my needs, the X-Terra 705 and the E-Trac.
 
The Gold Bug Pro (G2) with its 5 inch DD coil does an amazing job in those really trashy areas. It's almost immune to EMI.

G2 simply amazing the more I use it the less I use my other machines if at all. Never been bothered by EMI and run at full wide out open all the time all over the place. Quiet not chattery like the T2 and F75 very quite till you pass it over a target. Simpliest easiest machine I have ever owned blows me away when i use it especially the fact that it's got an 11"dd coil on it even in the most trashiest place I can find. Still seperates like crazy just wiggle it don't have to even sweep with it amazing!! Plenty deep too hits hard you will not be dissapointed at all. Nice large screen to easily see too for older eyes.
 
I hear you guys talking about a detector called g2.can you please tell me what full name and brand it is . thank you.
 
Patch,
The Teknetic G2 is the Teknetics version of the Fisher Gold Bug Pro.

I made my decision. I decided to get a DFX. The DFX will be the best complimentary machine to my existing machines and hunt focus.

Moderator may want to move this thread as it really doesn't enhance the F-series forum.

Try out the Minelab X-Terra 705 ..... it has lots of options and might just be a better choice !

Just wondering what you didn't like about the V3i. Just looking at it makes me dizzy.
