	Not sure which way to go... « on: September 11, 2010, 11:01:50 am »

I am having some serious issues deciding which detector to purchase in the next few weeks.

I had a Garrett ACE 250 and GTI 1500 that I had to sell this spring, and I was going to purchase the ACE 350 when it came out. But with every youtube video I watch, the more I lean closer to a machine that has the VTI numbers with multiple tones.

I AM SO CONFUSED!!!

Forget the Garretts and switch to the White MTX i have been detecting for over 22 years tried all the brand models and have found the Whites MXT does it all. Easy to use good depth penetration light enough to swing all day,good on coin,jewelry and gold nuggets...
Try one and you will buy it...

Cheers Raoul

LOL!

Computers Lie!

I love folks that hunt by the Numbers.

I hunt by the Sounds or Tones.

I have never failed to Find Goodies walking behing someone with a Target ID machine.

Mine are Gold and Pull tabs.

Have Fun.

I guess bottom line is you never know what your target is until it's visible

The tesoros are single tone machines right? Did I already ask this? lol. High tones represent good targets where as low tones... not so much?

Once your ears become One with the Machine there is no low tone or high tones , that only happens with machine with a VCO!!

Your ears become your Eyes.

I can tell you if it is a Peace of Wire, Coin on Edge or a Silver or Copper Coin.

A elongated object sounds like Wooop, Wooop!

A Coin on Edge may sound like Woop, Bliip! This could be Backwards depending on the way it leans. If it is setting 90* from your swing it may sound like Blob , Blip!

A small gold Nugget , say less then a gram may just say, Smirch.

People that dig by Number would miss that for sure and All I can say is THANK YOU!

Now I'm Not a Total God Fearing Man, But Do Believe He /She What ever Gave Me this ability.

Man Made Computers and we all know how well he has done this far!

Trust your Instincts, and let the good time Flow!

My Compadre is a tone discriminate machine. Since that's the low end, it would make sense that the rest have it as an option.
