I have been out of serious detecting for over 10 years so after drooling over finds on several forums during this time I decided to buy a new detector. I had used Garretts, Whites Spectrum and about 4 different Fisher machines hunting land,water and CW sites. So after reading on internet for a month I ordered my XP today. I'm like a 55 year old at Christmas wishing it was here already. The best part is during the last 10 years I have I researched and obtained several old maps and have a long list of new hunting spots that hopefully will keep me busy for awhile.
