Default How many do you own?

How many detectors do you own? Collecting has always been a problem with me. I own a DFX with the DX-1, a Whites 5900/SL Pro and I'm getting ready to purchase a Ace 250. Why................I don't know . The wife just looks at me and shakes her head when I come up with a good deal .

Same with guitars. I own about 24 of them and had to dedicated a room in my house specifically for the guitars, metal detectors and misc gear associated with. Is this a disease?

I was gonna jump on the Minelab, but it was either that or the DFX. One day I would say Minelab, the next day DFX. The day I bought one, it was a DFX day.

Default Hey RIP....

.....take a very close look at the X-Terra 70! A very close hunting buddy of mine, sold his Sovereign and his Explorer and bought an X-Terra 70 from Treasure Hut.

After about 40 hours on the X-Terra 70, you couldn't tear it from his hands!

He's been finding lot's of small gold jewelry, gold nuggets, Indian Wars Relics, and coins!

That is one H_LL of a machine! Light weight, easy on the arm, goes VERY deep, and is probably the closest to "a perfect multi-function detector" you can buy!

Seein as how your collectin You might want to have a minelab day ! They are abit harder to master but i;m thinking it would be worth it !My buddy has one and i'm impressed,he found a large cent awile back in a hole with several nails.I had been over that spot hundreds of times before with different detecters and missed it every time !

I don't have that many detectors, but I'm sure I'll get the same request from my wife with the guitars. I don't know if I can do it though.
