I think it’s time for me to let go of a couple as well. Not because I don’t like them, but because I’m not using them and need some quick cash for another hobby of mine.. (stereo audio equipment, a bottomless money pit)

I think it’ll be an excellent Eldorado (μMAX style), very nice Cutlass μMAX, and possibly one of my Bandido II μMAX machines (I have 3, all very nice). Debating on selling my purchased new, black Vaquero - perfect but just not used, and a like new, high-tone Cibola. All are in perfect, working order.

I just “let go” it’s so relaxing not hanging on to everything I’ve purchased or gotten.

Me Too, just started selling "some" of my electronics equipment, robotic arms, large robots...etc. Still hard to sell my detectors, but did manage to give a new in package Garrett cameo finds bag to a person that was short on money.

I have been downsizing everything. Sold the boat, 5 detectors, canoe, a Civil War gun, gave a big mineral collection to a friend and on and on.

Guess I should have waited a little longer before pulling the trigger on getting a couple, but since I got a practically new Vaquero for well under $200 I'm not to bad off. Just wondering whether or not to let go of the 800 since they should be around for a long time and it has less than 15 minutes on it....

I'd like to sell a Golden µmax and Swedish camp stoves, coleman lanterns but Ebay lost its appeal and been burned selling on line before. Hard to sell local. Got rid of a lot of camping gear on craigslist, cheap sell quick but but good gear takes awhile. It i sold every optimus, primus type stove at ebay's lowest estimate I'd have enough to get a decent flatboat.

Yeah, downsizing, I been doing that, got rid of bunch of stuff,, been looking at my Vaquero, I think will be letting it go, kinda hate to, but just havn’t hardly used it the last year, guess downsizing is what you do when you get old.

Well - sold off a nice Bandido II microMAX and a Cutlass microMAX- so far. I’ll probably list a couple more Tesoros next week.
Getting closer to my goal of funds for another hobby.. (home audio equipment). ^_^

How the thinning going pinenut?
That Cutlass umax is a nice and somewhat pretty rare detector. Didn't make it for long before changing to Cutlass II umax and dropping khz to 10.
I still have mine. Something about the older machines audio frequency. Music to my ears.

I sold off four detectors that I didn’t use often. Still have plenty of good Tesoros!
Used my Tejon the last few times out - finding more gold rings with it than I had been before. Probably just a coincidence, but happy to find gold rings! Got snow around now, which means that the “snow dummies” are restocking the hills for me. ^_^

Found this chubby class ring from ‘58 on top of a snow play hill, about two months back.

And a 14k with diamonds, earlier in the year. Both with the Tejon.

Can't wait to be able to get out with the Tejon. Still don't see myself selling anything I have until maybe I need money or something.
Very cool ring!!!
