After trying out a bunch of different metal detectors in the sites I like to hunt. I've decided to cut my units down to the Minelab GPX, Tarsacci MDT 8000, Minelab Equinox 800, XP Deus and as a loaner unit, the Vanquish 540 pro pack.
That pretty much covers me for relic, beach, ghost towns and the very little park hunting I do. Except for maybe a Minelab eTrac or XP ORX I plan on waiting for new models to be released before I make any other purchases.
