I ordered the 800 ten days ago through Kellyco. I knew in advance they already had a very long waiting list, and accepted that. In the meantime, I have other detectors to play with. I've been dealing with Kellyco since 1983 and have complete trust in them = GOOD people.

I agree Deep, I've dealt with them (Kellyco) I guess 25 years? Never a problem. It just seemed that something out of the box......could be he just talked to that ONE person, but I've talked to my friend this morning and he called back and spoke with the fella he ordered it through, and HE said he will try some calls and see what is what. I'm pretty sure had it been the whole machine, Kellyco would have exchanged it, at least they did for me a number of years ago on a Garrett model.

And, for another thing!

Kellyco offers a 15% discount for veterans. I had to prove it to them, sent them a copy of my DD214.

What other dealers offer that kind of discount to veterans?

That’s actually Minelab’s Manufacture’s Veterans Discount, Kellyco processes it and then gets reimbursed from ML.

Unless Kellyco offers 15% off everything in their store? I’m not a 100% sure about that, but I don’t think that’s the case.

Kellyco for me has been great for me in the past, but I’m just too impatient to wait 16 weeks or more for a detector is all. Especially when I can get it quicker from a local place.
