Hey guys,
I was thinking about upgrading from my 705 if I win big in Vegas in 2 weeks *fingers crossed* and was wondering what everyone thought would be the better machine? I'm in Utah, USA and the places here that I usually detect are pretty trashy. Old and LOTS of iron. I've seen videos that show the recovery time of both machines, and the XP wins every time. I really like the 99 tones on the Minelabs, and am generally a Minelab fan over everything else. I haven't used an XP however, so I only know what I've seen on Youtube. I can get an Etrac for around 1200 bucks, and the XP I want is around 1500. So while it's not that far off, the price isn't really in the exact same ballpark unless I'm buying both brand new, then they're pretty close I guess. Anyway, just seeing what everyone thinks.
