What detector have you Sold that you have Sellers Remorse????

[mark v]

I sold a White's DFX years ago to "upgrade" and for years I wish I hadn't.

Wow.. I've had many, many great detectors. But what really has me at sellers remorse are....
1) Tesoro silver saber umax with a troy s-9 coil. That was the rats azz as far as beep and dig goes.
2) Minelab explorer II I hunted with that longer than any other I've owned. ( except for the nox 600 now )
3) Whites eagle II blue box that was reconfigured to an xlt handle set-up. Oh baby that was a great detector
4) Tesoro golden umax with the high tones. Not as great as the SS umax but close.

I'll keep it at 4 but could probably list to 8-9 detectors. Great question

I still have my 1st born Shadow X2 w/7 & 9" coiks. It collects a lot of dust nowadays. Its good to have if a newbie friend wants to go for a spin.
Recently got spoiled with TID's on everything, so the Shadow sits in the corner. She found me some great finds when I first started, so I'll probably never sell her.

That's great to hear Donna, and I'm a bit jealous too. When I got that troy s-9 coil I sent it and the detector back to tesoro and Rusty Henry dialed it in for perfect operation. It worked soo good that it didn't act up on a salt water beach until I hit the water itself.... I'm still kicking myself in the arse after all these yrs, and boy its sore when I sit down !!!

Mine was the Tesoro Bandido 2 uMax. Sweet tones.

Any tips you can share ?
Just picked up a new old stock one.
Put the CSC coil on it.
I also have that super seven coil.

All of them! But in particular 2 of my three Coin Strikes. My last one bit the dust and I wish I had the two I sold back.

For me it was a Compass Gold Scanner Pro with the Keith Wills depth mod. I was able to find the deeper high conductors(copper and silver) than the normal scanner series. Even deeper than the more expensive Challenger X-100/200 units.

That was one on my wishlist for a long time. And than I was a few hrs to late at my dealer ... long time ago . . .

Never could take hands on a compass detector, to sad.

I had one of the first CZ3d's, actually number 66. I was directly communicating with Tom Dankowski about it's quirks and performance. It was hot and worked as advertised. One of the first spots I took the 3d was an old school were I found my oldest silver coin ever(1781 spanish silver) After finding this silver coin, I gridded and pounded the front yard of this school. I believe it was the first time I took the 3d here, I was not expecting anything good to come out of the ground. Within minutes, a V nickel from 8 inches or so. Second coin, shield nickel from similar depth. I ended up with another V nickel and an older mercury dime. This detector had one flaw. It's pinpoint mode could not pick up the signals I was getting in discriminate mode. The pinpoint worked only to about 8-9 inches. I knew when I had an old deep coin and when pinpoint did not work, I did the best I could swinging over it and dug an extra big plug.

I sold the detector and tried another a couple of years later, but it was not nearly as hot. I will never forget that detector.

I had a Coin Scanner that I sent back to the factory for the depth mod. As I remember, the new owner bought the company after the big fire. He was sort of a "dick", but after three or four months I got the detector back. It was one "sweet" machine!
