Minelab is a valuable brand,makes quality products, there not going to sell junk knowing the negative feedbacks they would recieve. The testers are only as good as their on the operateing abilities, no 2 are alike.
I ordered the 60 model, plan to use it in the Nevada desert nugget hunting. Price is right, water proof up to 2 ft, and has new updated technology integrated into its brain. I like the fact the coil is hard wired, but I will never use the bluetooth smart phone sync. Even though minelab is slanting sales of the detector toward a younger group , I"m guessing it will perform well in the field with many finds other more expensive detectors would be expected to find.
OK, I'll admit that I misinterpreted part of your post. "Bashing" was a poor choice of words on my part.lol..show me where I bashed on the detector besides stating it did poorly in an airtest which is included in a video I found on the internet. Did I not even state that I was anxious to own one until I saw the video? You need to go back and read my first post... In all honesty, you said "it paints a clearer picture of me" but after reading your responses it actually paints a much clearer picture of who/what you are buddy.....
You might be right , however if the 60 can detect a buried gold piece of jewlery, I see no reason why it cannot find a
gold nugget,gold is gold no matter what the form.

I'm not even going to try to change a mind that's already made up with no understanding of how the process works.
The simple fact is, that a tester would be far less likely to be chosen again if they whitewash a report allowing Minelab to put a turkey on the market.

I'll still reserve judgment, rather than allow my view to be skewed by a meaningless Russian air test video.
Here is what I have seen so far in air testing.... it is as deep or deeper on coins and simple rings than the other entry level brands. Unfortunately I haven't tested it with live i in the ground yet, but hope to soon. With the auto ground balance, it should theoretically be deeper in the ground too as compared to most entry level machines.
Cant wait- the only entry level detector that handles the wet sand! Love it. Can forget saving for the SandShark- sorry Ron.
Its seems somewhat thought out.... entry level?, maybe on T net, but $3 or 4 hundred dollars is a lot of money, a whole lot of money....
A really awesome blue tooth equipped 60 amp touch screen car stereo with a myriad of additional built in miracle technology is available for $175 all day long.......
I know, I've heard it, They definitely don't sell millions of every model of car stereo, but I acknowledge your point.Yes, but they sell millions of car stereos compared to metal detectors. If every car needed a metal detector, I am sure the price would drop accordingly, lol.

Its a step in the right direction, At least its portable without having to be taken apart. I am not complaining.
My screen saver features the 4 cubic feet of ancient silver that the Romanian gentleman recently reported finding with an Ace 350.
Ok so I am still un-informed, but now even more intrigued! It actually has auto ground balance & not fixed ground balance? Is it a tracking auto GB or auto grab?
Yes, you read that right AUTO ground balance, not fixed! Nothing else has that in this price range.
