Newbie here from South Texas

[misterchivo]

Hi everybody. Rick here from South Texas by the Mexican Border. It had been a long time since I wanted to get me a metal detector and I just did on ebay, got me two actually, an Ace 250 and a Fisher F5. Don't know where to start so I figured treasurenet was the place to begin at. Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself to y'all.

Hi Professor nice to meet you. Started this hobby about a month ago and whenever I have a chance I head out hunting. Started with a Compadre and Ace 250 and within a cpl of weeks I upgraded to a GBP and planning on getting a F75 LTD or a Tesoro Tejon I'm still undecided since I've read that the F75 is so strong that it's always chattering, sorry for asking you but since I'm a newbie I'm asking you what are your suggestions. THX

Welcome misterchivo my husband has an F75 and yes,it is a very chatty machine.if you're new to metal detecting you might want to rethink getting that one.

Thanks CoilyGirl. I've been on hold for about a week trying to decide the way I see it I think I'm gonna go for the Tejon.

The F75 LTD was just upgraded last fall, it is a very quiet machine now if it has the new software. Mine is off to the factory now waiting on the upgrade. The new units all have the new software.
