Your original post didn't mention that it had to be a new detector......just from one of our sponsors. I still think if you call each of them, you could get my picks for $1000 ea. or less.

I would looooooove a Garrett AT Gold (I already have the pro.. and it's great!), Minelab Safari, XP Deus Starter (always wanted to try), Fisher F75, Teknetics T2 Limited edition. (Also the Garrett Infinium, but that's $100 over the price cap).

I've already learned Terry Soloman gives tricky questions. :laughing7:

Deus for separation, AT Gold for water, Gold Bug II for gold, GO Find 60 for my boy, TRX pinpointer for ease of recovery.

That's five metal detectors all under a grand new.

I would just like to know which sponsor is selling the XP Deus for under $1K.....I have only seen them for $1,499.00. I have been wanting one as a second machine, but can't justify the $1,400 price tag at the moment.
