The White's MXT would have to be in there I would think, it might be the most underrated detector well under $1000.00 for the regular MXT. For such a simple detector I don't think people don't give it enough of a chance because even though it's simple to use there is still a lot you will learn if you stick with it a while. HH

Probably a CZ3D. I don't know enough to pick 4 more!:laughing7: I like my CZ6A and would like to send it in eventually to see if it's still cali.(?). I like simple! I see these newer machines look like a computer to operate, I wouldn't want all of that. Just a beep is fine!:laughing7:

I would buy the Used Etrac from Fort Bedford for 850 bucks, then hold on to my cash until he got another Minelab Excalibur II in used for under a grand. I would buy a couple of AT Pro's from Bart, one for my wife and one for my neighbor (He's in his 80's and wants to get into metal detecting even though his body is failing him. (his mind is still sharp) He refuses to give up, and I look at that as as something that should be rewarded. Then I would buy a Tesoro, whichever one Terry Soloman recommends from his favorite sponsor, since he started this thread.

BOGUS POST BUZZERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
