Yeah I don't know guys, I think every competitor has felt the pinch, but all have been able to produce another nice low to
mid line and even high end model machine, but where my .02 comes in on this post is to say anything less the the $400.00ish range to stay ahead, lets start with each of the company's models regardless if they are higher the the $400.00ish range to stay ahead of each other, I am willing to place my bets on the best selling units under $400.00ish just my educated guess here in no particular order, here we go.
First the Garrett
Ace 250 one of the world best selling machine as well their new 2016 lines even if they had done very well with the the AT Pro and Gold lines which I have to mention have done well for them and for that affected everyone else somewhat out there.
Second Fisher it was the
F2 next F4 maybe
F44 and their F75 and even Series 2 have done well for them as their high end units.
Bounty Hunter I think it was their Hunter
Land Ranger Pro by far. Bounty Hunter
Junior may have sold lots as a beginner unit.
For Teknetics T2 on the high end seems popular but mid would be the
Delta 4000, and the lower range would be the
Euro Tek Pro would have been the best selling I imagine.
For Whites it was the
Coinmaster.
As for the Tesoro it was the
Compadre and the
Cibola as there top selling...and imagine the Vaquero release in 2004(seems like a long time ago) came in third I might be wrong maybe the Outlaw release in 2012, but seems Vaquero had the edge to me I imagine.
Makro 2 Racer high end best selling for them and the Nokta For Cors even over the Gold.
Minelab it would have been the either the
Go Find 60, X-Terra 705, the Saffari and the E-Trac of course the 505 just not sure if this has been there best selling unit, and the 3030 just to expensive to make it in there line up I think on the high end, think the E-Trac takes the cake.
XP Deus
That is alot to compete with guys in the last turn of the century even for Tesoro...I would give them a break, I think personally they won't disappoint here in 2017, lets wait and see before we make such bold statements, I realize we are all anticipating a release soon and have been waiting patiently..but like Terry Soloman mentioned post way back when this started he has been waiting like Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin, we should all be positive and all intilled to your own opinion and frustrations to express this your own way.
Me I will enjoy using my Vaquero next year, and whatever happens I will likely hold on to this baby, even though this was mentioned before on another post.
