Troy X5, Minelab SD2100, Whites GMT, Garrett CXIII, Falcon MD10 / with all coils for each unit. I only have 5 coils for the Minelab so far. It depends on what type area and target you are searching for. One detector won't do it.

I have the Bounty Hunter PioneerEX! Nothing fancy about it but it works and it's my first detector. Someday I'll go high tech!

I primarily use a Whites XLT...I use it on average 8-12 hours a day 6-7 days a week when possible in 3 years I've had to buy 3 rechargable batteries because I wore them down...I'm used to the machine and I'm very happy with it. jd
