My father is retiring in May. My family is going to surprise him with a new metal detector and I (the eldest son) have been nominated to buy him the best possible in the $700-750 range. For years he has owned cheaper machines and has marvelled at the way my old White's Eagle Spectrum has performed. Anyway, I was all set to order him an xlt when my local barber who has a DFX said that if he were in the market to get a new machine he would get a minelab. Now, I am really confused. My dad's primary hunting will be coinshooting but might do occasional relic hunting in an area where Civil War soldiers camped. He will hunt parks and homesites primarily. (My grandmother owns an old place but there seems to be JUNK everywhere...he would like to be able to hunt this yard.) Anyway, I know I will get mixed responsed from everyone, but I need some good advice. I am not considering anything but a White's or Minelab. Now, which way do I go? By the way, I am probably going to be upgrading when tax money comes, and need some personal help in this decision making also. God bless, and thanks in advance.
