I want to buy a new detector but with all the new jazz on the market iam not sure what to buy. HELP!!!!! i am not new to this hobby and money is not a issue. i have used whites all my life and found thousands of coins. i been away from it for a few years now. i do all coin hunting and beach hunting and would like to go a little deeper than my eagle went. seems like the coins are a little depper now days then they were 20 years ago. i looked at the fisher the garrett,the whites, and the explorer,i would like it to be a easy user friendly without losing depth.what do you guys use..thanks......Jimmy
 
User friendly and deep equates to a Fisher CZ...Many good detectors out there , but usually a learning period..
 
Look into the Fisher Excel. Same great discimination performance in junk iron as its cousin the CoinStrike (a really GREAT detector), but TONS lighter than your typical Fisher (which makes all the difference in the world), and quite a bit cheaper -- with a meter. And methinks the learning curve might be a touch shorter than the CS. Check the Fisher Coinstrike Classroom forum and its archive on this site for discussions that have already been posted on the Excel.

I would like to try Explorer myself. I have a friend who bought a DFX and he now finds on average two silver coins a day. He had a XLT. The dual or many frequency thing seems to help.
I think target ID is better than depth. The fewer bad targets you dig the more ground you can cover and the more you find.
All metal goes way deeper than anything else. But it is depth with descrimination you want, that is accurate.
This is why I pick Minelab Explorer.
 
I like the XL PRO I can run it hot and it will go as deeep as any. see firstontop.com
You need to try many units to findone you like.
We all like many detectors.
YOU will find one that will feel good to you. <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D"> <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
 
If money is not an issue than you would probably be looking at the top of the line detectors for the major brands. Things that may factor into your selection could be warranty, weather proofness, weight, etc. If you want it to be user friendly, does that mean you do not want to fiddle with alot of menu options because once you get used to the programmable machines ( DFX, Explorer, etc. ) they are really not hard to set up.
I would think if you factor in the things I mentioned and do not want a programmable machine, the Fisher CZ70 is probably a good bet. Deep in discriminate mode, weather proof, great warranty, easy to use.
 
...go with either Minelab Explorer or Whites DFX. But the learning curves can be steep.
If you don't want the huge learning curve but STILL want good depth, target ID and dependability then I'd strongly suggest you go with Whites MXT or the at least the Fisher CZ series.
If you're willing to stay in the Mid-Range then the White's Prizm V seems to be a real winner.
Hope this was helpful to you.
