Titan 1000xd Metal detector?

[levis_dad]

Hey guys and gals. My wife is wanting to get a detector! YEEHAW! She has read about and looked at the Titan 1000xd and she likes it pretty well.
My question is: Does anyone know much about these detectors and would it be a good starter for her?

Hi levisdad -

They are O.K for the price. I, however would recommend starting her off with a tesoro compadre.
Only 1$50-160 and has great dept.lightest on the market and she may not want anything else after using it. The Titian is not that accurate anyway... and is top heavy!!!!!

if she is intrested in the titan i would get the fisher f-2, faster target responce, comes with 2 coils, better audio info, $199, this is a simular machine, but updated for fisher

Okay.. I finally broke down and started my own account.. Got tired of being "dad".. lol. I have looked at so many metal detectors Im dizzy. Some people have good things to say and some bad. (about the titan) I looked at the ACE 250... I liked it but it seemed everyone had a problem with the pin pointer. I was wondering if anyone had an ACE 250 and what they think of it. and which would be a better machine for a beginner.. .. by the way this is levisdad's wife... therefor the Levis_Mom

The main problem with the compadre is that you can't change coils on it--the small coil is hardwired into the control box.

Tesoro Silver uMax might be a better route to go--it's a serious machine for not much money.

I heard the F2 is top heavy too and is not accurate after a couple of inches down.
The Bounty Hunter tracker lV is a good all around metal detector for the price range $120.
It works just as well as my $350.00 Minelab musketeer!

The bounty hunter control box can be mounted up side down on the bottom of the shaft for perfect balance.
