we are in a time of rapid change and stiff competition. new detectors are coming about fairly regularly(f75,f75 limited,whites spectra, blsstool, xp deus, minelab ctx 3030 etc) . any electronics item you buy will be surpassed by different/ newer models about every 5 years or so. if the the "new big thing" matters to you then you will be switching detectors often.
a 20 year old cz will compete with or exceed alot of these new models. a guy that knows a older machine inside out can compete with alot of the new models. "beware the man with one weapon"
the rumor is of a new fisher multi freq machine but whats the rest of the story......? anything that fisher does will be lightwieght, have better ergonomics and most likely not cost $3000.00
