What is the best beep and dig machine(s) you have ever owned or still owned?

I’ve heard great things about the Xp Gold Maxx Power and have wanted one but haven’t seen any for sale in years. Nokta had a b&d model that looked very impressive but they discontinued it.

Yep I have also been on the look out for a Xp Gold Maxx power also

Yup.
Oh I found 10 million in gold coins.
Only to have local politicans claim it.
Brilliant.

For me, it is the Vaquero which I I still have.
Very light, easy to ground balance, and runs very quiet even in nail infested sites.
Great quality build and design too!!

Never heard of that one, but it reminds me of the Minelab Relic Hawk.

Tesoro Tol-Tec 100. I bought it new from a local dealer. That was back in the days when Jack Gifford would answer the phone at Tesoro. I also sold a Tesoro Inca to get the Tol-Tec 100. That machine is still in use today as a friend of mine bought it.

Is that the one that has an analog meter that mounts separately Ted?

They later came out with one called the Toltec II..,
That one had the meter mounted on top of the shaft.
Being as I have only been metal
detecting since 2006, I find it interesting looking at the older models that are no longer made.
