The last few years I have not had time to detect more than half a dozen times. Too many hobbies. I plan on fixing this come spring.
I still have all my machines. My last go to machine is my Vanquish 340 with the V8 coil. I plan on taking my classic Whites out more often this season. I recently acquired a new old stock Sunray XL-1 probe for them.
I'm not looking to purchase anything new. The ones I have seem to work out well for me.
It's good to see this forum still going strong.
