<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roughwater, post: 7796272, member: 122150&quot;]Steve, </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s for a couple reasons. The main one is because after just a year of use I can normally sell it for almost if not as much as I paid for it.&nbsp; It&#039;s kinda like having a near free one year rental.&nbsp; I gotta say that in General, Minelab PI detectors though very expensive hold up well and are well sought after. If it&#039;s kept in good shape it&#039;s never a question of weather you can sell it, it&#039;s just a question of how much.&nbsp; Newer models of Minelab PI detectors always cost more so there is still a lot of value and interest in your used older model.&nbsp; Often newer models are just subtle improvements to the last model even though there usually a fairly large price increase.&nbsp; But it keeps the older models well sought after. The minelab GP series is great for that as the coils they made 20 years ago will still work for Today&#039;s GP series detector.&nbsp; Coil selection allows the user to go deeper (big coil) go for more sensitivity (small coil) or go for all around use (medium coil). </p><p><br /></p><p>The second reason is that some detectors like a PI are best for gold, relic and cache hunters.&nbsp; I live in the South and not a lot of gold to be found here and I don&#039;t often relic hunt.&nbsp; I never know for sure how often I can go west to hunt gold and my interests are many and my finances limited, so a high end PI serves me best as a short term investment. Also due to the fact that I&#039;m aging and 71 now. It also allows you to better keep a more recent model detector.&nbsp; A VLF coin detector is usually the best option for most users.&nbsp; Minelab makes some of the best of those as well.&nbsp; Where I live a Beach/coin detector is a good option and Minelab makes some of the best of those as well.&nbsp; There are other options than Minlab of course but overall they seem to be the ones that have come out with the most innovations for serious metal detector users.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
