In that price range, the Garrett at pro, tesoro vaquero, whites m6 and minelab xterra 705 (a bit over your budget)

I would leave the $450 Vaquero out, since his budget was $250 more than that. Many buy the vaquero cause it's the cheapest detector with adjustable gb and has lifetime warranty. $700 can get you alot of detector these days!

Xterra 705 or 505 gets my vote.

True, but I believe that despite it's lower cost, the vaquero's performance is up to par with detectors almost twice it's price. Bu that definitely is true, $700 can get you an awesome detector

I wouldnt have picked my Vaquero over any $700 detector, had I $700 to spend. Multi-tones are extremely helpful. I bought my V for the price & warranty.

I think that it also depends on a person's hunting style. Some people can't hunt without visual or tone id, but others like having a machine with no display. However, I do think that the vaquero would be a much better machine if it offered tone id.
