Upgrade when you are consistently finding targets that the machine's target ID system cannot resolve clearly, when you want to hunt terrain types your current machine handles poorly (salt beaches, mineralized relic fields), or when recovery speed is limiting you at trashy sites. Most hunters get considerably more value from developing skills with a capable beginner machine than from upgrading too early. If you are regularly hitting iron-heavy sites and want better discrimination, look at the advanced detector collection.
