Im just gonna be honest here and hope it doesnt hurt opies nor wnyone elses feelings.
First off, i dont detect regularly. Hell, honestly i havent detected in almost 15 yrsbut am getting back into it soon considering i just moved to the beach.
Here is my thing, this is a gorgeous detector and so is the atx. But i mean really, 3-4 grand for something that will do what 200 will do?
If i was looking for a car at a depth of 10 ft i could get a radio shack or walmart detector to find it.
I just dont see any real difference in detectors other than frequencies.
I mean really?
