I have been running a Garrett AT Pro which I still have and now my primary is a Garrett AT Max. I like both machines. The Pro got me addicted to metal detecting and the Max required a bit of getting used to but it works really good for me now. I am thinking about selling the Pro as it does not get used much.
Here is what I have been thinking. Originally I was going to pick up an Equinox 800 but I hear it requires a learning curve that I am not sure I want to overcome at this time. My kids are just getting to teenage years and I only get a couple hours a week to metal detect. Therefore, I started looking at the XP ORX. It seems simple enough, I like that it is light, seems to have decent depth. Would this replace my AT Max or would it just be for different hunting? Again, I like my AT Max and am not sure if an XP ORX would be just another metal detector sitting in the house.
Note: I generally hunt on land and a little of chest wading in fresh water. Once a year I head to an ocean with the family on vacation. Generally at least one metal detector comes with me!
Let me know your thoughts.
