Re: Is the Radio Shack VLF Disc.Metal Det. any good?

I've used a Discovery 3000 ( similar to the BH Landstar). Mine has been 100% accurate, reliable and goes deep ! I've since used several brands, including Fisher, Whites, Tesoro and Shadow and purchased a new BH QDII for my son. You can buy a QDII for well under $200. It's got great target ID , depth meter and is really a slick little detector. Right now , in my personal "arsenal", I've got a Whites XLT, Shadow X2, Tesoro Silver Sabre II, BH QDII and the Discovery 3000. Each detector has it's own niche. While I respect Berts opinion and his experience, my experience with the newer BH detectors has been VERY positive. If you check out any of the BH forums ( Lucky Dans /Silver Mikes BH forums - luckydan.com/silvermike.com) , you'll see LOTS of happy BH users with some impressive finds under their belts. The Tesoro Amigo II is a great little entry level detector, but it lacks several features that are ( in my opinion) very worthwhile, like no motion all metal, interchangeable coils, etc( better off with a Cutlass, SS Umax, etc). To say that an entire product line is " bad" is simply a misinformed statement . There's NO WAY a manufacturer could stay in business if that were the case, let alone see huge increases in business. I'm sure BH has put out bad products ( as have Whites, Fisher, Tesoro,Ford, Chevy, etc.) at one time or another, but to make a blanket statement saying an entire line is "junk" is totally unfounded in fact. I happen to like BH ( I don't have ANYTHING to gain by telling you this either) from postive experience with several models of their detectors in recent years. I can't compare my XLT to my QDII because of many things, mainly the cost of the XLT is four times that of the BH. BH IS a contender in todays market ( they've got great quality control). Best of luck on whatever you end up buying, and most importantly - welcome to the hobby !!
