Just gloating to myself on this one, but I finally got myself a new ( used ) metal detector, since my other one was bought in 82' and was my only one.
Big thanks to the local salvation army, and being in the right place at the right time, for giving me a huge financial windfall, I am now the proud owner of a minelab explorer 2, and dang, I am going to have to buy a new thinking cap to figure this thing out.
Guy I got it from ( found on craigslist locally to me ) said it had only been used about 10 hours, but the ad had a factory pic, so you never know how that may go, so today me and the wifey jumped in the car and drove up to bay city to meet the guy half way, really nice guy by the way, well one look at the detector, and I could tell it was brand new, guy told me that he never used it much, told me good luck figuring the beast out.
it came with a sunray pinpointer attachment thingy, the stock coil, an extra carbon fiber lower shaft, a 8 inch excelerator concentric coil, which I did not know what it was, but on kellyco they are not very cheap, and a really nice pair of koss headphones.
we talked for a bit at the bay city mall ( parking lot ) got to know each other a little bit, he told me since I was his kind of treasure hunter, in it for the history, not the money, that he wanted to give me something extra, goes and pulls out an old leather carrying case, and said I would appreciate this, and pulled out a old garrett master hunter from 76, man what a nice gift.
I paid 550 bucks for all of it, not really sure what they go for, but hey I am as happy as a sugar ant chewing on a jolly rancher
Thanks Ray!
