Yep Steve! This is the kind of company we have all wanted. They do not seem to take their customer base for granted. Im sure there will be a bump in the road or two along the way, but customers like me are loyal to those that really care about us.

Dilek...Steves words ring true for slot of us! Looking forward to seeing what the next detector is. One wish...please package like the fors with multiple coils and the very nice detector bag. Merry Christmas!

yes,me too Steve. They have a "can do " attitude, and seemed determined to have an impact on the detecting world. Cant wait to see what they come out with. Merry Christmas yall!

I probably will sell my Deus to get a Fors gold eventually...The deus is almost magical the way it can pull good targets out of trash..but its kinda overkill for me with all the configurations possible. Basically I relic hunt Ca gold rush areas and I prospect. I dont beach hunt, and urban detecting is down to hunting demos in Stockton....which is same as relic hunting in the hills but with bums,hookers and drug addicts instead of rattlers and poison oak,lol. Im waiting to see if Nokta will give us a forward screen,then I will do it.

Well,Im mainly a relic hunter,but the same pricipals should work for gold in trash. Usually the culprit is square naills and smaller bits of iron. A detector like the gb pro and AT pro will usually disc these at around 27-28...and this is where I set the tone break. But audio matters more than anything else....bigger iron such as chisels,picks are easy to discern...but I dig them because I like them,lol. I like to use a small coil or eliptical,and just work the heck out of an area from different angles and overlap swings. Its almost like your trying to coerce a signal,if that makes sense. Any high tone that even squeeks and I can get to repeat,gets investigated. Often its just iron falsing ,but using a pick makes a quick assesment. Right now I have a gb pro,Deus,Tejon and my son uses an AT pro for this type of detecting. My main concern though is we do well on shallow stuff in high trash....but feel like I am missing alot of the deeper targets. This is where you Steve,have my attention on the Nokta. I really want a small coil to have some "punch". Well,enough of my rambling thoughts. Merry Christmas everyone...and thanks for hosting such a great site Steve...I learn alot here! Ray

Wow!!!Spectacular is an understatement Steve! Friggin awesome!!

Right on Ray Ray! I just bookmarked it. Ray

Hi Mike,glad to see you here bud! Really good info,am looking forward to more post. I have never been a jewerly hunter....but do know some areas around here that should be excelkent. I plan on doing some jewerly detecting this winter....good find given to the wife will equal more detecting oppurtunities,lol.

Ive actually considered one to get aeriel pictures of the metal roofs we install...with the thought of discovering detecting sites during my off days,lol

I hear ya JP....been roofing for 25 years,my ears are jacked,lol.

Wheres Ron? He really is the ctx master,think he had one the first week they where out...plus he started the ctx nuggetshooting craze,lol.

Daniel has some very hot ground,if I remember right.

way to go man!

in the USA,my guess is the bounty hunter is the most popular ovetall.

You beat me to the punch on Tesoro. I really dont see them around much longer. To bad,I still use a Tejon and Bandido, and their warranty is unmatched...but they are going nowhere. Ok, I predict XP will come out with a small coil, and a new deus update.

I always find adventure! Rarely find gold.

Ran mine in pouring rain all day to....but kept the control in my pocket.

Its difficult to get depth in iron trash, the proverbial carpet of nails. In those situations,unmasking and seperation is what is needed,and the mxt with the shooter coil is above average in that department. My son uses the AT Pro, and in the iron mode with the smaller coil,it is deadly. But that is one noisy machine set like that, you even hear the iron in the soil,like a constant grumble.

Hi Paulito,and welcome to the forum. Im just north of you in Calaveras county. Nothing wrong with the MXT...and Steve and Ron summed it up pretty well. One of the better hunters in your area has ran a mxt for years. You may want to pick up a used tdi to compliment the mxt, if funds allow...that will handle the hot ground,is good for gold and can be used for relics if you like. Good luck,Ray

Right on dude! Killer hunt Ron!!

It will keep me busy while its raining...thanks!

I nominate Troy x-5. Always thought it was just a beautiful detector.

Going on a relic hunt this weekend. Planned it a month ago and booked a hotel room ,so no turning back. Only thing that has me a little anxious,is its 20 miles out a usually DIRT road...they are calling for heavy rain...hope the all-terrains pull us through,lol.

Haha, yall dont have Reeses? Good stuff right there!

Yep, nice being able to detect/enjoy the outdoors 12 months a year. Now if I could only find some time...may have to start night hunting like Ron!
