It's amazing how many detectors are listed on the classifieds and sold on Ebay so the hype is evidently working. I'll have to admit I've fell for it twice, but both times I had talked to a few users and dealers and was assured the performance claims were indeed accurate. Right! I just read Beachcomber's post below and looked at the DFX ad in W&E. That's really something but bet it sells a bunch of detectors. I'll stick with the Goldtrax right now. Oh, did I mention it transmits 64 frequencies?
