Poll..what's your favorite owned detector?

Resurector

Want to get a idea of what's the folks are using these days for my upcoming upgrade..my Tesoro Bandito ll from 1999 seems outdated

There are several good brands of MD on the market... For me, however, based on technology, quality and (very important) customer service, I select White's MD's....I am a staunch supporter of White's. Cheers, RickO

I would recommend a White's DFX 300 (aka: a powder-coated 'Spectrum E-Series') to anyone. The programmability, precision, and additional specialty coils available, to me makes this an unbelievable value, as they are not "new", and can be purchased used at a very reasonable cost. My only knock/wish, is that the control box & screen are not water resistant, so they are strictly a fair weather detector. (There are of course rain covers available, but is too risky to me).

Pictured is my original Spectrum E-Series that I sold to upgrade to the powder-coated 300 model, which is exactly the same, just powder-coated paint for more durability.

Best of luck!

I have a Whites as well, but had to put it up as it became too heavy for me to swing for any amount of time. Bought a Tesoro Lobo with no display. I search the desert and dig all signals so a display just means more weight. Bought over 2 years ago and had it out once only. Finally had shoulder surgery and after that healed I gave it a try. Liked it very much. Then knee when out and haven't been out since. Now have a date for a knee replacement in April so perhaps I'll be out swinging again come fall...........ugh.

Garret AT Pro. Love it! Wish I had more time to use it and a better location to swing. I live North of Detroit and the pickin is nothing like some of the locations you guy's have.

I have a Minelab Equinox 600, but haven't really had the opportunity to use it much yet. In the past I have used Garrett, Fisher, Teknetics, and Tesoro. Hopefully I can give it a workout this Spring!

Back in the old days I used a Whites XLT. Great ground penetration but not waterproof. Lasted for 25 years until I backed my pickup over it. Don't ask.
Now Garrett At pro which is much better and half the cost. Peace Roy
