Nautilus DCM II B Questions

[Indian Steve]

Howdy All, I have an opportunity to trade for a Nautilus DCM II B. I know that it is supposed to be a great relic machine but have never used one. I was actually planning on my next machine being a Tesoro Tejon but this popped up. How hard would the DCM be to learn and is it better than a new Tejon? Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

The bike is my 48 Indian Chief. It started out as a rolling bobber basket case that hadn't runs since the 50s. It took 3 years and more money that I care to admit to get it looking like it does today. My favorite ride! I have heard that the Tejon has great depth in our Virginia soil and is supposed to be a great relic machine. I know a local that has a Nautilus that he bought in the 1970s and still swears it will outhunt most modern machines.

I had a thief steal an original 1948 Virginia Motorcycle License plate off my bike while I was eating lunch at a local biker restaurant last August. It took 2 years to find and I paid $450 for it. I'm still looking for the SOB. Fortunately my insurance covered it. Good Luck on your hunt.

I doubt there are any detectors made in the '70's that are better than today's machines. I'd have to see a side by side comparison to believe it. I started detecting in 1970 and wouldn't trade ANY of my latest machines for ANY of the ones I used in the '70's.

You could be missing out. My detectors are GPX and Nautilus, I have owned the Blisstool, Rutus Jupiter, XP Goldmxx and Minelab CTX3030, non of them could outperform my Nautilus and were sold on.
