Thread: Which One To Sell !?

    Which One To Sell !?

    For now I have to make a decision selliing one of my three detectors. --

    Like to hunt with each one. Every detector has it's pro's and con's. All play in the same league, I think.
    Not going to throw a coin. There are at least 2 coils present for every detector.

    In the bowl are the Fisher CZ-70 Pro, the White's MXT and the DeLeon from Tesoro.

    Help is much appreciated.

    If I had them, it would be the Fisher. Mostly because around here they have a lot of interference problems. But where you are may be different. Which one haven't you used for a long time?

    GPX 5000, CTX 3030, E Trac, Vista Gold

    That's a tough one Vito . I can see regrets on getting rid of any of them .There's no adjustable
    ground balance on the Deleon so that's something to consider ( they are sure nice and light though ). CZ 70 Pro's are legendary , I read somewhere they have been discontinued though so I don't know if Fisher would repair it and how much it would cost .Of the three I would probably be most reluctant to get rid of the MXT unless I was replacing it with another White's .

    Which one has made the most finds for you , which is the most fun to swing , which one tends to frustrate you the most are things I would take into consideration . I am going thru a similar thing with some detectors I own but in my case I think old age and the onset of physical limitations will determine what I stick with .
    This may sound crazy but consider putting all your detectors where you can see them and putting a different one out of your sight at a time for a day or two and tell yourself "it's gone and I can no longer use it " .That may work .
    Good luck my friend .

    Oh, good you mentioned this, Coinnut. Depending on the EMI-sensitivity it will be the DeLeon here. Never had any issues with the other two.
    Thanks for the reminder.

    Had this in mind, too, George. The CZ and MXT do have ground balance/tracking which the DeLeon lacks. Really well balanced are the MXT (modified) and the DeLeon.
    The CZ-70 Pro is in excellent shape and they're no longer in production for long time, so I'll keep this one for sure and it will be the last one I'm going to sell.
    The MXT is modified and sweeps like a feather. So I think it will be the DeLeon as I can get one back if I feel the need for.

    Thanks for helping to make a decision.

    Thanks guys. Great advice to think about.

    @leslie - yup, that will be the best way.

    @Dimeman - The MXT and the DeLeon are equal, and the CZ will never be sold, Robbie.

    So I think all 3 will stay.

    Had the v3 and didn't like it at all, ironarmknives. Pushing it to it's best performance for the hunted location will last to long (same as it was for the DFX). It's a great machine if you have the need for, but I don't have.
    And yes, I am really glad I did not sell the MXT to get this "nightmare" machine.

    Good Luck with your's anf Happy Hunting.
