I owned a Quantum XT and a Tesoro Bandido about 10 years ago and found a few really decent finds and enjoyed the "Hunt". But with kids in high school and lots of overtime at work, I just faded out and sold the units.
So I have been on the hunt for a good used machine and found a few, but got beat to the punch or the units were just not quite what I wanted. I decided after 2 "defeats" to look at Kellyco and see what kind of deals I could find. I'm so glad I did, I busted my budget but bought the White's MXT All Pro, accessories and a cover for under $800. To me it was a very good deal so I did it and should receive it by next Wednesday. Their customer support was very helpful in helping me choose between 3 different detectors and explaining what made each one better/different.
Now to just get back out there and find some hunting grounds!

Hey Fuzzy, have you found any local clubs or hunting buddies? I'm having a hard time, so far, finding anyone or local club. I'm in Gun Barrel City, near Athens.
