Hello,
New guy here. Got a "Ceap Chinese piece of crap" MD a couple weeks ago.
Thats what someone on forum called it. Not a name brand that everyone else has.
Have been trying to find out about it.
Treasure Hunter Vision Pro XJ9. I looked on internet and one site said suggested retail $600.
Found Chapmans site (maybe they make them?) and sells for $160.
Craigslist sez $158 or so. Also got a TH Aqua Vision Pro thats supposed to go to over
40' deep in both salt and freshwater. The blustery site sez $700. Yah right.
Anyway, XJ9 seemed to work ok as far as I can tell. First try was at Jungle Gym at a park.
5 coins, gold(?) necklass, rosary, pop tops, and candy wrappers. Easy dig thru bark chips.
Deeper into the hard dirt I passed up. Didn't want to excavate too much. Will try on beach soon.
My Brother in So. Cal. has a very expensive Whites and says $1.40/hr. is his usual take.
Lots of competition there I imagine.
Anyway, should I be ashamed of this because it is "not American made"?
Probably engineered here and farmed out like a lot of thing are. Can anyone say NAFTA?
Feel like a second class person here as I did not spend alot and I know these are
"Learner Toys". I admire and respect all who have done this a long time and have
very expensive equiptment. And the amount of knowlege here is like a college degree. I thank you all.
