I guess it's gonna be the 4 I have accumulated over the years but the XP Deus will have to be it. I'm not buying anymore.

I’m happy with my F75+, but like the NOX 800. I’m not buying anymore because I’ve learned the F75+ well enough to do with it whatever I want, wherever I want. I’ve ran it with the NOX of my brothers, and the CTX3030, and it’s all in what you’re comfortable in using. I still find old timers pulling stuff super deep out of the ground with their old school Garrett’s, and Whites machines.

GPZ 7000 is certainly a fine machine for the gold fields and maybe relic hunting in highly mineralized soil, but it is big and heavy and not suited for general coin hunting or water hunting. Just because it is one of the most expensive machines out there doesn't make it the best machine for many hunting situations. It is a PI machine with no true discrimination and really designed for gold nugget hunting and little else. Were I a gold nugget hunter I would definitely like one (out of my price range) but for the coin and relic hunting I do it would not be a good choice at all.

I like my Deus the best, but since I'm getting one of the aforementioned machines soon, that should do it for me!
