What has been your # 1 detector in years passed

[C.J.M.]

I liked the Troy Shadow X5 for raw power, but it did seem to like iron. I also like the Minelab XTERRA 705 for sofistication.

Howdy Terry, what part of east Texas are you from?I am in the Victoria,texas area.

I am fairly new to detecting started about 3 weeks ago... I started out on the Tsoro Compadre for the first 2 weeks then ordered an Equinox 800 I liked it so much. I love the new and the old as long as I am having fun and have a chance to look at some history! Lol

I guess as far as a beep detector, I would have to go with my Vaquero that I still own... love using it around old house sites.
Very light and quiet until it gets over something good.
Also have a Minelab Advantage that I still use from time to time.
Have made great finds with both!

I bought a compadre and a golden umax about 1994-6. still have the compadre but decided to up grade 2017, happy with the new but miss the golden.

My favorite detector for quick passes is my Treasure Euro saber. After I find an interesting place, I take the "Beast" My Goldscan5

Currently, I am the owner of a Tesoro Euro Saber, Tesoro Silver saber, Minelab Excalibur and Goldscan5

And my favorite park machine is the whites coin master. Straight up coin shooting hardly ever junk & always a pocket full of change. Paid for itself quick!

Verdict still out on Equinox 600

I sure loved my Nautilus DMC 2Ba. If it wasn't so heavy I would still be using it today.

Garrett Deepseeker VLF was a killer for CW relics.

It is a detector that I would have liked to test.

I don't see how people like a one tone detector so much?
Tesoro's didn't keep up with technology went belly-up

I have had many detectors over the past 25 years and I still prefer threshold detectors. I don't use beep identification. The threshold gives me a lot of information about where I am. And yes, I dig it all. A simple iron gives me a lot of information about where I am and where I am. It is true, that I do not go to places infested with bottle caps, although sometimes I find some ...
