Already wanting to upgrade..

[beeman553]

I am sort of new at metal detecting. I have always owned a cheap MD and the interest burned for years. I purchased the Teknetics Gamma 6000 four months ago, but feel I need a better machine already. I hate to think I am missing items a better machine would find. Not sure this is the right place to place a thread for my questions, but maybe I can get some advice on that as well. I live in Alabama, some high mineralization her, and lots of trash.

1. Should I maybe buy a better coin, DD, for the Gamma? And spend more time with it?
2. Teknetics has the T2 that impressed me, but I like the CTX3030 and am watering to have it. Is the cost difference worth it? I may be working some beaches in the future.
3. IS there a machine I should consider over these two mentioned?

Wonderful site and looking forward to advice from fellow members.

Welcome! While a new machine may find things you missed, be sure and take the time to learn the machine you currently have. The T2 is a well liked relic machine. The CTX3030 is a phenomenal detector, but there is a learning curve to maximize it's potential.
