For relic and general detecting: XP DEUS II or Minelab Manticore depending on whether iron discrimination or wireless performance is the priority. For gold prospecting in mineralized ground: Minelab GPX 6000. All three are professional-grade machines that experienced hunters rely on at competitive and demanding sites. The term "professional" in metal detecting means capable and field-tested rather than commercial - these are the machines serious hobbyists and professional treasure hunters use.
