My old schonstedt GA52cx has seen better days and am looking at getting a new one. Anyone use the Schonstedt Spot locator? Or CST Berger Magna trac? Whatƒ??s everyone using? Seems like the GA52 is antiquated. Thanks for your thoughts

I think just the opposite. It has been the standard of the industry (at least in my neck of the woods) for 30?ñ years. That tells me its still the go to magic wand.

I've literally tried them all, and always go back to the trusty Schonstedt 52Cx

Schonstedt will refurbish them. Just had the GA-72Cd I've had for 15 years (It was already used when I got it) done for $290 and it looks brand new.
