Yes it wouldn't be right to do that.
Also learning a new machine is a tad over whelming at times and the familiar is like a comfy feeling.
Take both with you on the first outing or two.

Don't give up on the Garret. I went out with a Deus user. I think experience beat me, not necessarily the machine. JMO. And if you watch Ohio Metal Maven, she kicks butt with her Garret.

14 AA batteries 8 in one pack 6 in the other.
The GoldMaster was the first detector the family bought-then it was full on own your own years later-no sharing my machine.
It was a costly hobby back then even.
First GoldMaster machine cost my father his 30-06 hunting rifle and a $150.00 back in the late 60's that was a heavy sum.
Similar to the 3rd picture but only had metal/mineral detected about 1-2" in the dry sand. No discrimination, dug lots of iron.

When the CoinMaster series was released it was a whole new world of detecting, the good times when every park, church, hall, was a virgin site.
My wrist ache now just looking at those handles. :laughing7:

Dads coinmaster is in the shed.
I'll dig it out some summer , when I can afford the batteries.
 

Almost time for a scrap yard run might as well turn scrap into a bit of money instead of paying to dump it
