A am fairly new at detecting and i want to buy me a decent detector. Which of these would be best for relic hunting, jewelry, coins, and gold? If not any of these then I am open to suggestions. What are the pros and cons for each of these models?
Excal 1000, Excal II, Sovereign GT, CZ-20, Tiger Shark, Tejon, GTI 1500, Surfmaster Pulse, CZ6a, DFX, AT PRO, Fisher 1235, Surf PI Pro, 1280-X, many more because I enjoy learning them. New Garrett Ca
I'd have to give a thunbs up on the DFX or Explorer for depth. You might also like to consider the Tejon which I now leave the DFX in the house. The Sov GT is very nice too, but it is getting heavy even with a neck mount. The GT is the only one I have with a Sunray inline probe and that is VERY nice as it is like a 1" coil with disc too.
I owned the GTI 2500 for almost two years. It is a very good detector but really heavy. It is a bit outdated and needs some updating in my opinion. I recommend you go to your local dealer and try them out and heft each one. Monty
