I have 4 detectors, and each one is great. There is one feature that is missing on all four detectors. That feature would make silver and gold jump out of the ground. rofl

Minelab Equinox 600 & Whites Coinmaster, Garrett Propointer, Lesche Digger
Oldest silver: 1853 Half-dime & 1876S Seated Quarter / Oldest coin: 1849 US Large Cent / 1854 Upper Canada One Penny Bank Token
Wateproof like the Garrett AT Pro, lightweight like the Fisher F-series, adjustable ground balance, frequency adjustment, notch in or out all segments of discrimination areas like the AT Pro, option of 4 tones ,3 tones or 2 tones, standard mode and pro mode like the AT Pro.......completely sealed waterproof 1/4 inch headphone jack.............
That would be a good start..........

Know I will be in the minority here, but after all these years I just want an extremely lightweight detector with All Metal/Disc (with mode switch), GB and cordless headphones. Don't need a meter. Should look like the Troy X3, and have adjustable cuff to make sure the balance is perfect.
Would love to try the Deus. My friends overseas say it's absolutely the best. Just too expensive for me.
Guess I am regressing in my old age.
You can never have too many pugs....
i would like one that talks to me ,i get lonely at times. of course i wouldn't one that kept sayin 'calculating route.
If it wasn't for flashbacks, i would have no memory at all
I want an x-ray style--- you know we'll be there before we know it! I don't think it's out there yet
To be able to see US or CS... or the date of the coin before I dig lol
Oldest silver-- 1838o seated dime (no stars)
Oldest copper-- 1820 LC
White's V3i, Coinmaster, XLT, Prism IV, Whites new TRX PP- Love it!!! Garretts PP
My dream detector is the deus! |
Reasons:
It's light.
Easy to use.
Fast and easy to swith from small to the big coil.
We have a lot of big fields and the deus is the perfect machine for it.
You can hunt the whole day without any problems.
Wireles coil and headphone.
A new update 3.0.
So now it's the fastest machine on the market. (Recovery speed).
No battery's,easy to charge.
And xp give's 5 years warranty on the detector.
I love my detector..
A detector that completely ignores iron , is not masked by or sees through it like the ground to locate targets underneath. yeah right lol lol
ok i would take a real fully discriminating , tone id'ing pulse induction machine with depth read-out pinpointing capabilities .
"Honesty is an expensive gift ,
so don't expect it from cheap people"

Can't believe this post is still alive...?
At this point in time I want a detector with one knob that weighs less than a lb.
You can never have too many pugs....
I just want a detector that can really analyze iron from non iron. And it has to go deep lol

There is more than minelab.
Try first then we talk hahaha.
A feature that I would love to see on a detector: The ability to discriminate signals by depth. For example, discriminate out all signals less than 4 deep.
