Popular Post phrunt Posted August 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2023 I guess I'm the opposite in a way, I've been building a cabin to store all my detecting gear in as my wife wanted them out of the house as I've taken over a spare bedroom with my stuff, and a big chunk of the garage. ? I'm certainly no builder, but with the help of Building expert Google and some vital questions to JW when I didn't understand what google was telling me who is a crazy good builder that's been building a house that's build progress start to finish is going on the Grand Designs TV Show I've managed to pull it off I think, at least it's handled some wind and snow and not fallen over so far ? \ I put these on all the walls running off solar to charge my gear with 12v lights and a 12v 32" TV of course. Tucked away up the back corner of my property. I've done a lot more than in these photos now, even the flooring is down just ready for paint when the weather warms up. Just haven't taken photos the past week or two. So let this be a warning to you, if you don't cull down your detectors expect your partner to eventually crack and kick them out of the house, and when this happens you too will be building a little cabin for storage, all built for the price of a GPX 6000. I know a few people have wanted to see what I've been up to; this seemed the logical place to put it. 14 2 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23780-down-to-three-detectors/page/3/#findComment-252418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawbone Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I tried confining my pet rats in a similar structure when I was in my teens. They continued multiplying and eventually chewed their way through the wall to freedom and began digging burrows all over the backyard. Hope those detectors don't do the same! 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23780-down-to-three-detectors/page/3/#findComment-252420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Yes, I learnt from Norvic’s recent experience to keep the Minelab’s separated from the Garrett’s. 1 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23780-down-to-three-detectors/page/3/#findComment-252426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Looks great.....but Simon.......deep down you know you'll need another cabin......just for your pin-pointers ? 1 5 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23780-down-to-three-detectors/page/3/#findComment-252436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC-AZ Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Nice write up Steve. I hope you and all that responded have continued success in detecting for many years to come. Here are my 3 that I presently use and in no particular order. 1) XL-PRO last of meter w/needle 2) V3i w/coils 3) Pulse Scan TDI w/3 coils All White's. Kinda looking at the Manticore, but not serious enough... maybe in the future.

jim tn Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I did a detector purge myself shortly after acquiring the Nox 600 a few years back and am also down to three. Was down to two for a while but added a Nox 900 a while back. I now have the 900, 600, (backup?) and a F 75. Don't use the F 75 much anymore, but letting it go feels almost like loosing a family pet. I've had one in my arsenal since they first came out and one was my main detector for 15+ years. I'll remain at three detectors regardless of whether I add another one or not.

Popular Post EL NINO77 Posted August 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2023 Steve....he did what everyone expects...and kept only 3 detectors that he will use really often... Maybe it will wait for me too... Here I want to tell Steve...not to leave the testing of new detectors aside....His opinion on new detectors is always very important to me...as well as his observations regarding real detection experiences...and results...with such a machine...? Steve's ..periodical detectormy guide is always very interesting and up-to-date ...bulletin in which I receive information first-hand...? I still stick with all my detectors ... and I'm not getting rid of a single one ... even if some will be used really sporadically ... and maybe more often for testing an interesting detection situation ... and also as a technical encyclopedia of detection technology, which is still at hand....but the truth is that using 3-4 really good detectors is really enough for the time I have now for detection...plus some other new detector /VERSA/which I am testing... ...you want these detectors to bring you the joy of detection... That's the bigger part... of my detectors in the video... maybe 5-6 pieces that are stored differently... 11 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23780-down-to-three-detectors/page/3/#findComment-252868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Great article Steve, your rationale really makes a lot of sense, and I think I'll start getting rid of other detectors soon as well--too many that don't get used often enough. I picked up some great tips from your article as well. I too appreciate all of the write-ups you've done about new detector models over the years, very enlightening, and your recommended detector models have always been spot on. Thanks again for all you do; you sure are great at making a lot of information in the detector field genuinely understandable. All the best, Lanny 4 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23780-down-to-three-detectors/page/3/#findComment-253030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
