Nothing against the nox and not bitter. Of the 20 or so guys swinging at 2am 90% have a nox. The other 10% could afford the ctx.

Maybe they both can go to the vault. When Gary goes in , Geraldo can slam the door. It's now sealed off claiming victim #7. Isn't that all that's needed to remove the curse ?

I think those names belong in the hall of fame of detecting, if it ever existed. When you can start winning championships for metal detecting, then we can start talking about the GOAT's of this sport. Yes we have our favorite successful hobbyist (like digginbritt) but there's not a single one I would EVER compare to Michael Jordan. Just
Hey, with Michael Jordan's dedication to being the best at what he did, if he applied that same dedication to detecting then he himself could be the Michael Jordan of metal detecting

Assuming somebody purchased an Equinox because they can't afford a CTX is being quite bitter and condescending. This is supposed to be a friendly metal detecting forum, not a place to judge other members based off of their machine choice. I suggest you re-evaluate the way you approach this forum and help keep it a friendly environment as it was intended.

. Wow.. I didn't realize you elected yourself presidential administrator. If you see anything else wrong with some of my posts.. past, present, or future please let me know. I will try to follow your guideline. Thank youIn case you didn't know, which is hard to believe being the presidential administrator, I live in a poor part of Asia. A ctx is more than 1 years salary for the average person.
Does this post fit your guidelines ? If not, please edit it. Thank you

Steve , I feel your pain. Sometimes it makes me want to cry. But I guess its progress which can't be stopped. That's why only recently I gave in and joined a few forums hoping to give just a little advice to those it might help.
It's not the brand of detector that you and I are upset about. It's about detecting in general, locations that we were once the only ones there or just 1 or 2 others. Because of the price of gold , economics , social media , YouTube, etc , more people are out there doing it. Eventually , over time areas get wiped out just by the shear numbers of man hours being pounded upon our beaches. We then search out other locations until those to have been pillaged. Back when I really got into this , maybe I would see a total of 4 or 5 hunters over a 1 month period. I can see triple that amount in 1 day now.
Sure Steve , there are always fresh drops and the ocean occasionally spitting up some good older finds. But the days of going out and getting 7 pieces of gold , 10 silver , 150 coins , and doing that for 3 days in a row are over. About 20 years ago I was angry when I noticed alot more hunters than I was used to. Now it can get crazy out there. Hunting at night can help with that. But the bottom line is you can't stop the influx of new detectorist. Just try and be encouraging when out there. I have met a few cool people but will always miss "the good old days ".

My Questions are what standards qualify for the best detectorist ? Is it someone that helps others learning detectoring ? someone that finds are fantastic ? You can not find targets if there not there. Research is also a LARGE key to great finds USUALLY .

With all the reality shows/contests maybe they need to come out with a competitive metal detecting show
In the meantime maybe a detectorist could go on "America's Got Talent" and wow the judges with how many coins they can pop out of the ground in a short time
…..or maybe they could make it an Olympic sport ?

We already have competitive metal detecting. They're called seeded hunts!

Well I’ve left you guys hanging long enough. I’m pretty sure I’m the Michael Jordan of metal detecting. Yes me, JimR from Tennessee. Because just like Michael Jordon in his baseball career I strike out a lot metal detecting.
Like Michael Jordan in his NBA career? Oh hell no.
