Awesome video as always Gary. Used my mates a few times, years ago, cracking machine, couldn’t swing one now, to old for that weight. My mate is still using it , and loves it, he’s found lots of coins and goodies. I will tell him to watch and like your video. Thanks for sharing mate.

The best machine for ancient sites back in the early 2000’s. It certainly loved the small silvers. I remember seeing it first on Gary’s Detecting & then you showed me on a 3 Counties dig and I was sold. I think it had the edge on the Tejon, maybe not on depth but certainly being more suited to our sites. I used the Goldmaxx & Goldmaxx Power for many years successfully. I would have no problem in picking one up and using it again. Still a good performer 👍
@The-skillschool9 ай бұрын
Cheers Ian, great feedback my friend. The Tejon was great but for me the Goldmaxx had the edge because of the iron tone and recovery.

I brought a goldmaxx power back in 2007 and also set of WS1 headphones I still use it to this day as I have a lot of confidence in this XP power I feel there is no need to put this loyal detector in retirement just yet !

Hi Gary thank you for this video, I used the Gold Max Power for 2 days, and I was surprised by this detector, you have to keep this kind of tool because it doesn't age as fast as we do Lol.. I don't know where you got your XP sweatshirt but it's nowhere to be found right now. Too bad.. good luck see you soon, Alexandrine and Toch

Thanks Gary, enjoyed the detecting trip down memory lane. A Deus has been my only XP machine but early on I got & fixed up an old (then!) Sovereign XS2A, which I still have, that found me some nice stuff incl 3x gold. The older tech was and still is very capable but have to admit I've not used it for a long time. Compared to the Deus it is heavy & not well-balanced.Look forward to some more old skool skill school videos 👍🏻

@@The-skillschoolVery true, although I've only been detecting 10-11years it all seems to be a lot more serious and commercial these days compared to then but I guess when you're out in the fields without your phone nothing can touch you. My phone always stays in the car 👍🏻

I purchased 2 of these separately spares or repair cheap With a bit of work I got them both going 1 has a button welded in to the handle that is wired to the board (something to do with discrimination) have you ever seen one modded like that ? Can’t fault the goldmaxx on a good permission the finds pouches will be overflowing Untill the days of drone detectors that auto stop at silver and gold signals I’ll happily use a goldmaxx or deus My best finds 2 x gold found with the original bounty Hunter fast tracker 🤷♂️ All the best and happy hunting

Ability to tune out the ground is where its at generally and not just sheer power so I wonder if on that note the Manticore is groundbreaking or not really (not that I could ever afford one so thanks for the heads up on an old Gmax). Dave
