    I have two. First was a Fisher F4. Then about six months later I got the Fisher F75 LTD SE. I am keeping the F4 for backup and to let the wife use if she decides to get involved.

    Six. I'll admit my XLT doesn't see enough action anymore but with the 6 Eliminator & Bigfoot coils there are special applications I keep it for.
    Now the list: V3i, XLT w/Sunray, PI Pro, Sovereign GT, Fisher CZ20 10, Coinmaster Pro. PP's on hand - Detector Pro Pistol Probe (DEEP!), Garrett Pro Pointer, Vibra 460, classic target probe, DX-1. There is an assortment of break down rods for travel. 5 coils for the Sov GT, 4 for the V3i, 3 for the XLT and the rst just have the stock coils. Guess I like to be prepared. The other side of it is I always have a spare something if a friend has an equipment malfunction. Ok, I'm an addicted MD'er!

Where shall we go?

    Got my:
    1. Teknetics 9000 COINCOMPUTER of days gone by. (The critter still works)
    2. Whites DFX - which was my introduction in these new fangled, high tech
    machines. (my backup)
    3. Whites V3i - I started finding gold jewelry when I got it. A little intimidating at first glance, but with the counseling and advice of the people on this great forum, I've got to know it and has gotten to know me.

    It's been said the best metal detector is one a person uses frequently. The owner knows its quirks and signals. I haven't got all the quirks and signals figured out, but I am sure having fun with it. It's an adventure every time I go out. Whatever detector you use, or how many you may have, I wish you all the best and happy hunting to all.

    I have 4 metal detectors now that work and get used. There are a couple of others that are beaten to death but I have to keep for sentimental reasons. I am sure many of you understand this. WE had some good times together.

    Re: How many metal detectors do you own?

    I have owned several different brands over the years. First one was back in 1975 and it was a Bounty Hunter that I think I paid around $150 for. First coin I found with it was a '27 Buffalo nickel which I found in my mother-in-law's driveway in Coronado. Been hooked on detecting ever since! Currently I have 4 detectors. An older White's Eagle Spectrum, a Minelab ExplorerII, a new Garrett GTI1500 and a new Garrett Sea Hunter MarkII that I bought for the beaches around the area. NOW all I have to do is get out there and start swinging them!!

    Just one right now, my trusty V3I, but with this hot weather I've been eyeing a few water detectors.
