Depending on the area you hunt, Beach, Water or Field You need to get a detector that suits your environment for the proper operation. The skills will come with whatever the appropriate detector for that environment.
If money was no object, I'd retire and buy a 300k motor coach and drive around to meet all the tnet members and dig on their turf. As for metal detectors I would buy a CTX 3030 to replace my 1280x Aquanaut and maybe get a AKA Signum MFD Pro deep search metal detector to do some CW relic hunting. My F75LTD2 and XP Deus would stay in my arsenal, I might buy the 9" coil for the Deus though.
Since I can't put as much time as I want in the hobby this year, the best choice for me would be to get the 2 or 3 detectors that are the best for my type of hunts. I don't want to buy the top of the line detector, if it takes me many seasons to understand and operate properly, jmho.

I have always been a whites guy. 16 years to be more exact. But I just got the XP deus.....and I LOVE IT!!!! so simple and yet so effective. I couldn't be happier
Im happy with the detectors i have...if money were not an issue, i would instead purchase every piece of property i ever wanted to detect and have the biggest playground on earth! When it comes to permission, i've never said no to myself.
