I had just got permission to hunt a new site, go to get my detector out of my trunk & its GONE! STOLEN! This is definitely my most horrible find ever. If anyone has a MXT or Mxt Pro for sale PM me.

thats sucks brother.....im sure you already thought of it but check local pawn shops, craigslist, scumbags often arent too bright and just ask to get caught. Good luck

Sorry to hear that! I'm sure it will end up on craigslist or in a pawnshop soon!

I agree with the assumption they will sell it..........thieves just won't work enough to run a detector. I sincerely hope you get it back in one piece and the bas**** that stole it in several pieces, lol.

Thanks! Something I usually don't forget & keep close to me. Guess I was more focused on my finds!

All good, the caretaker it it on the back porch. They thought it wouldn't have taken me so long to realize it was missing!

I know how you feel. I have left 2 Predator Shovels in the woods before on different trips. I found one of them back, but someone else found the other. Makes you feel sick.
