there is an element of truth in what he says!.example: guys seem to be "eating" these
old "cooked" parks for breakfast with the eq 600/800.it's all over the 'net, and finds forums!
guys are constantly bringin' home the booty!" it's the latest technology, and "multi-freak"
appears to be the "edge" most long time hunters are lookin' for to re hunt all their "beat"
public sites.

Got ya Kajunman Blantantly false. Lol
Parks usually lack water unlike a beach. Wet fingers and waves causes more jewelry to be lost on average. And with sand and water it goes bye bye to eyes lots of times. Unlike parks. Unless grass is tall.
Naturally if a person doesn’t have a beach why not hunt in parks. Nothing at all wrong with it.

Well, back to the original topic for awhile "Which model is currently selling the best"
Amazon's updated hourly top 100 best selling metal detector products has changed a bit.
Over half of the 100 are handheld pinpointers, scoops and digging tools. 40 are metal detectors. Only 16 of those are made by established metal detector companies. The remaining 24 are total junk in my opinion and I wouldn't want to use them....
Here are the 16 name brand detectors out of the 40, ranked according to the list but without all of the junk detectors included.
1.Bounty Hunter Tracker IV
7.Bounty Hunter Junior
8.Bounty Hunter Gold Digger
11.Garrett Ace 300
13.Bounty Hunter Discovery 3300
15.Minelab Go-Find 40/44
16. Fisher F22
19. Garrett Ace 400
24.Garrett AT Max
27.Equinox 800
28.Garrett Ace 200
29.Bounty Hunter Lone Star Pro
30.Bounty Hunter Quick Silver
31. Garrett Ace 250
32. Bounty Hunter Junior TID
40. Teknetics Delta 4000
So, at the moment on Amazon the entry level FTP and Garret products are selling real well. The AT Max is outselling the Equinox at the moment too.
AT Pro, Whites, Nokta Makro and XP do not show up in the top 100 metal detectors.

Thank you, I'm so tired of hearing the ridiculous argument that it doesn't matter which detector you use. Yes, experience is huge, but the equipment matters.
Ground mineralization matters too.
Amp up the mineral levels and watch what happens to single freqs detectors.
Why one has to watch what they read here and other places.
Person detecting in say Nevada and listening to someone detecting in Louisiana as far as equipment performance and purchasing may be in for a surprise and or let down.

TNSS asked a question about how many Nox's were sold in California and Florida. His beach and park comment wasn't exclusive to just those two states. TNSS writes in headers, look at his post history. He has the absolute worst grammatical syntax of any poster on this site.
Again, blatantly false. Those aren't the only two states with beaches. There is over 5 million people in the Houston metropolitan and surrounding areas. The temp is in the high 40's tonight. The beaches nearby, won't be crowded tomorrow. In fact, some beaches will have less than 50 people on them.The parks on the other hand, will be. In your opinion, where will the most jewelry be lost tomorrow ?
Kajunman is as bad as fake news CNN.
He likes to take snippets out of ones post and run with them to try and prove his point.

Blatantly wrong again. You don't live in the humid heat of Houston and haven't a clue how much people sweat. However, it's not just sweat. It's soccer, softball or running around with the kids. The bigger parks have pools and kiddie pools as well as tot lots galore. 95% of the parks have walking tracks and stretching bars. So if 400 people are at a park and 20 people are at the beach, where will the majority of the finds be ?
Wrong again Kajunman.
I lived in Biloxi Ms for 13 years.
I know about humidity and SWEAT.
There you go again - assuming things about people.
You should quit while you’re behind.
Sharpshooter syntax out !!

You don't live in Mississippi currently. You don't saltwater beach hunt. Nor do you answer questions. Of course the easy way is to not answer the obvious. Typical TNSS.
Your problem is you don’t asked questions of folks, rather assume where they have lived and what their experiences are. Real shame.
I have detected at salt water beach btw. While I lived there. Not with the greatest detector for doing either. A radio shack job. Actually my first detector.

You "have" beach detected but you don't currently. Amazing. Easy to see what I was inferring. You also won't answer the questions I posed to you because it thwarts your narrative. You run.
Kajunman,
You’ll win more arguments if you will limit yourself to just arguing with yourself.

LOL, you won't answer because you're wrong.
I disagree with you... a very good beach hunter who hunts with a Excal like myself has a hunting partner who hunts with the NOX... when he called him over to see if he could hear the target which ended up being gold... not a peep from the Nox he did this more than once.. my friends own both and agree the Excal deeper... the NOX is not a do all machine even if you wish to believe that... If I thought it would be deeper than my Excal I would have one...
The Excal is 17 frequencies its BBS not FBS that you are thinking of. and BTW... the Excal does not pump out all 17 frequencies at once its in series of 3 at a time... Bill Crabtree put the Excal on a scope as he used to modify them and other brands of detectors to get more depth from them.
Finally... you have no clue the type of hunter I am and I have no issues hunting in trash... the Excal works just fine... I'm sorry you had issues with yours...
..........
I was going to type up a long reply but I need to get in bed, gold awaits me and my old 1990's BBS technology (Excalibur). SO far this year...plus one (Fridays gold), and yes everyone in my club owns Nox's and CTX's and can hunt the same places I do..(I think the closest one to me in gold this year has 6 gold rings and a 2 small gold chains)
Let me add before I hit the beach. I think it's great they are bettering the detectors. I like the Nox and all of this new stuff,....come on Fisher Impulse "AQ"..

I believe you about the gold, as I do not target it I can't speak for that type of hunting. But in the trash and heavy iron in cellars and old fairgrounds looking for relics siilver and indians, I guarantee you it's too slow and I've proved it so many times comparing signals hunting with my buddy/mentor who has been hunting since the 70s, who had the same attitude as you. He finally bought a faster machine for those situations. So like I said it is dependent on the situation. New machines have thier place and clear advantages in certain situations.by the way my mxsport was hitting silver half dimes and dimes way deeper than his excal.... so it's not just the equinox...sport was faster too in the cellars

That's the beauty of detecting. Different detectors for different situations. It will be a long time imo before there is a best detector. Far too many variables. The Nox is a tool like pulse and excalibur detectors. They have their place and we all benefit regarding where we live and the type of hunting we do.
