Why do metal detector testers not be honest

[TerryC]

So true, I can put me and my wife in a field, beach or park with the same machine and she will smoke me every time.
She has hunted primarily with her CZ5 for the past 20 years, while I have tried every detector known to man just about. But I'm more methodical detectorist than she is, I go at a slow pace, even searching in a grid pattern, while she is out there swinging away. I've mentioned to her, she should slow down a bit to really search the area, she responds by showing me her finds and asking to see mine. It becomes a mute argument at that point hahaha.

Been there, done that. Case one: I followed someone... literally in his footsteps to find a man's gold band. I don't know his detector type but I was using a P I machine on a wet ocean beach. Case two: my twin (RIP) told me a tot lot was hunted out. Within 5 minutes, I found a silver ring and a quarter. Experience does count above the brand. When I detect a salt beach, I take a 6 inch step...swing...6 inch step...swing. I don't miss much. I have a Monster, CTX3030, Impulse 8 (out of print) yet the machine that stays in the vehicle is the ACE 250. KISS!!! ╦╦C

You can't beat the simplicity of those Ace detectors and they are just fun to use.
