Let me first say that I don't consider myself a pro but I'm aiming in becoming one. My budget is to spend around $1500 max. I just want the good stuff. I'm going to search on all kinds of terrain (Europe), even though water is not my priority, I do want to have the possibility to search in wet conditions so it should preferably be waterproof as well.
I was almost certain that I wanted to buy a Garrett AT pro, mainly because most websites through google search results said that it's the best overall detector you can find. I don't really believe that. I mean I know it's a very good detector but is it just that they are very strong with marketing that people say it's the best overall detector? So after that I wanted the CTX 3030, but after reading some user reviews, I'm leaning towards a Equinox 800 now, as much people who owned a CTX 3030 and Nox 800 say that the Nox is actually better and cheaper which is a win-win. I'm open for other brands too ofc.
I'm quite at a loss here.
So my question is, If you would have my budget, what metal detector would you buy?
