Question...How many of you have more than one of the same detector....and why?

[Tired Rooster]

Curious to know how many of you have two, maybe more of the exact same machine. And if you do why? I know of a couple of fellas that have duplicated an old out of production detector because it just worked well for them.........they really liked it. How bout any of you?........TR

I have 2 Excaliburs - My hunting time is very valuable. I have one set up for scuba and one set up for wading. Also, like to have an extra just incase one fails. Sometimes it can be long wait with shipping & repairs.

X2.....I can't afford to be without one.

 

[pat-tekker-cat]

Yep, 2 excals. Ya never wanna leave home without one!

The Mr. will occasionally hunt with me, and like RF said, when you got to send one in for repairs

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

I also have 2 excal and has nothing to do with repairs. One has WOT coil, the other has SEF 12x15 Butterfly coil, both are hardwired into controls.....

We will NOT go quietly into the night!

I have several of two different Tesoro models. Partly because they are models no longer in production, I bought them right (used) and the wife and I both use them in competition hunts. I'm not aware of any newer machines that would be a better fit for the competition hunts and they both serve well as coin shooters as well in out local parks, fair grounds etc.

My setup is similar. One has a stock coil hardwired, and the other has a straight shaft and a waterproof connector so I can change between the stock coil and a WOT. Check with OBN here on Tnet for repairs or mods. He's quick and reasonable and has some interesting options for your Excal.

Two Sea Hunter II - one for scuba, one for beach & land - got tired of changing shafts and re-winding the cable time and time again!

I have two Minelabs: GT and Elite; need one for "back-up" just in case one falters.

I use both interchangeably, but I like the "iron mask" on the GT.

I own two goldbug2s for a couple reasons. The first is if im on a trip and it breaks I have a backup. I may change that strategy if I get a CTX. I also like to have an extra if I want to bring someone along.

Just keep in mind folks that something that's worth having is worth having two (or more) of.

Two AT Pros with different coils. Found clad paid for the second one

 

[smokeythecat]

I have two Tesoro Cibolas. One for me and one for a guest.

 

[nutsdad]

I have three ace350 my first in 20 years, atpro for land and fresh water, excalibur 2 for the beach. HH

 

[Normsel]

I have 4 an older Radio Shack, an Ace 250 a At Pro and a Whites Spectra V3i. The more I got into detecting the more successful I got I wanted to find more so I kept upgrading to find more and for the challenge of getting the most out of each detector. Each new detector has better features over the previous detector.

 

[snokid]

2 excal's wot coil and stock coil. otherwise same.
I got a deal so why not?

 

[fmerg]

i have two explorer se pro's, 1 quattro and an ace 150
the explorers are for when my son joins me (females come first in his life)
the quattro is when i take a newbie with me
the ace 150 is for when i meet a person who has a child who wants to try his luck

 

[Tom Slick]

I have two White's M6's because my wife and son like to use them in competition hunts with HotFoot coils. Two Fisher Gold Bug Pros because they are great dry sand beach detectors with the 11" coil, but I'll sometimes put the 5x9" or 5" on one of them. and I have two White's IDX Pros (one modified by Mr. Bill) because they don't make them anymore and I've never found another detector that performs as well in heavy iron or nail infested ground.
