Having Owned most of the Top of the Line Machines I have worked out that there are Some machines that will almost Guarantee the user Finds and as such the thought of not finding something does not enter my head and the most common thought that comes to mind is " Bugga I still got all that to do Yet".
1st for me would be the MXT All Pro, Because not once in 6 and a 1/2 years have I ever been skunked and If I do my bit then I know it will do it's Job, and the battery Life will return about 60+ hours and it just Works Period, I can coin hunt or look for Gold in Hot Ground with some success but Extreme Ground will give it a hard time.
2nd, It would have to be the GP3500 or the GPX 4500, With the 35 there is no doubts about what it's controls do and it is straight forward a bit like the MXT but in a PI Format, The 45 just Rocks and it is such a solid performer and is not over complicated but it is as far as I would want to go when it comes to settings and out of the SD,GP and GPX series to me it is the Corner Stone of Detectors. Although the 35 and the 45 have a different task compared to the MXT, In their chosen fields I would place them both as equals, Because the MXT is what the 35/45 is and the 35/45 are to prospecting what the MXT is to Coin /Relic/Gold in more mild conditions.
3rd, Would have to be the SDC 2300, because it just produces no matter what whether it is in the hands of a Novice or the Skilled Prospector, From reading everyone's success stories and seeing all the pictures, I would have to list the SDC in the Dead Cert Category because if there is Gold in the Area then it is only a matter of Time before you find a nugget because it see's the Gold that PI's miss and it does it in ground where VLF's Struggle with depth. But if small shallow is the target a VLF will work with some success but not as seamless as what it would be with the SDC
4th would be either the GMT, The battery life is about 50 to 60 hours and it does give you a certain amount of info/feed back, As does the Gold Racer but it is early days yet but I can see the GR making some serious waves in the Prospecting World.
It is amazing what LF machines can do, but although I have one I prefer to use the MXT because in Hot Ground it runs better and it can see bits in LF Territory, Nice machines but they don't give me that Dead Cert feeling that the other 3 do, either one of them has or is making History, But LF machine just don't inspire me.
I would Buy these machines in this order Again and If I was to be buying/putting a Kit together these 3 machines would be my Standard Kit because all 3 have broken new ground in their chosen Tasks.
So Imagine money "No Object" what would your Kit consist Of.
take care,
John.
