newbie question about detectors

[bigtruck68]

ive been a member here for just a short time mbut in that time i have learned alot about MD. you guys are the best.. my question is as i read all the forums and look at the members most all you guys have several if not many,many detectors, i guess the obious reson would be to hjave a spare or have one for land and one for water or beaches. as im not real experienced yet i have enough problems just using one sometimes. i just wanted to know whats the purpose of having so many different detectors ? maybe the diffent technogoly ?

Your not real experienced yet and you have 4. How many do you think you will have in 5 years?

A golfer needs more than one club to play a round of golf. You'd think with playing the same course all the time they could get rid of a few clubs. Myself I like to learn the different detectors, but I also have my favorites.

From your question I thought you only had one detector but I see you have four...you should be able to answer your own question.

Well he has four as listed on his profile. I think he wants to know why he has so many.

Find a machine that fits your hunting needs and stick with it. I've owned 5 detectors since 1985 when I bought my first, a Technetics 1000A, that I used for 5 years and never found anything but junk. In 1990, we moved to Florida, and I bought a Fisher Aquanaut, and used that machine until it died in 2001. My finds were many and sometimes valuable. My third machine was again a Fisher, a CZ 20 with a 10" coil. Since I hunted almost exclusively on salt water beaches, I liked the stability I got while hunting the wet surf line at low tide. I owned a Garett Seahunter that only found junk and a Whites Eagle Spectrum that was a great land machine, but was useless in the riffle of salt water. Sold that one after 6 months. Watch your spelling - it says a lot about you as a person.

I've never found one detector that could perform the best in all types of detecting. There are some detectors that are good to very good at a number of different types of detecting but if you want the best detector for a specific type of detecting then you need a machine that is specialized. A person that only does one type of detecting (say tot lots) can get by with one detector. If on the other hand a person water detects, competition hunts, hunts relics, nugget shoots, hunts the salt water beach dry sand, wet sand, coin shoots, etc. then you may want to concider more than one detector. Don't look at my Avtar.

Play your cards right and you can probably get a good deal on an Ace350 from InKogKneeGrow.
I think he may be selling his real cheap
