I have been up all night but plan to take her from a test drive sometime today.... will post results as soon as I get out.... could be later this weekend my mind and body are all out of wack lol.....thank you all so much for all the advice ...it really helped me make the right choice.

Have you heard any news on your stolen equipment?

Nothing on the online classifieds, or pawn shops around me last I heard & this was a week in a half ago the police were goin threw security footage of the time frame when it happend of the front entrance to the mall cuz there was nothing of at my truck so I can't do much more will I give up never never. I'm hoping they see something leaving the mall that looks suspect & do something fingers crossed

 

[Spaceport]

Good luck your in my thoughts and prayers....not a good feeling at all to have that happen

 

[christo000]

Thank you

Hope they are able to catch the folks and return your property. Having worked for a while at a very nice pawn shop in KS, the state law there dictates that every item that comes through the door is shelved for 30 days. A form is filled out on each piece and a photo ID is required before a person can sell or pawn anything at a shop. These forms are turned over to the local law enforcement and they are supposed to bounce them off of their list of reported stolen items. I helped bust a string of home burglaries once because of this process. This was true for KS, not sure about any other states but it should be.
But good luck in the recovery and prosecution of these low life thieves!!!
SAFE & Happy Detecting!!!!

My state holds for 18 days so it must vary state to state I guess,either way were with ya and hope you get your stuff back and the thief or thieves get what they have coming to them.

Yes mass & Rhode island have the same sequence of things they have to do aswell & theres about 10 police stations that have all serial #'s of everything cuz I'm kinda a paper keeper if somethin I buy has paperwork I keep it file it & in this case hopefuly it helps. I got 5 known pawn shops that said they do take detectors in so who knows I don't see myself given up anytime soon, I've even gone as far as just checking serial #'s at deus shop & garret to make sure no one has tried askin anything on them lol no luck but like I said I got to much money involved so not giving up. And thank you all for your support aswell

After nearly a month of researching, I have also pretty much decided to go with the X-terra 705 as my first detector.
Look forward to reading your posts about your early experiences with it

 

[Spaceport]

This is my third detector and I love the other two I have and have not taken this one out yet but I can tell you for sure you are making a great decision...you will not be disappointed.Minelab makes an incredible machine with great tones and features...pretty easy to pick up on how to use it and very well balanced.The big plus about the Xterra is right off the bat it is easy to use but you can continue to learn with it and from it....good luck and as soon as this rain goes away and I have the time I will be posting.
