$5 detector makes me a believer....

[SC_hunter]

I took a my usual Saturday trek to the flea market. Started past this one table and noticed a metal detector on it. I started to walk by but something "pulled" me back....I asked the guy how much he wanted for the detector and he came back with $20..I then explained to him that I didn't think it was worth that much..lol He was in the barganing mood and guess I was too...We joked a bit and he asked how much would I give him and I just said off the top of my head..$5..He looked and said sold..lol Heck..I forgot to ask him if it worked but well for 5 bucks...I have misplaced more than that at times...So I walked away from the table with the Discovery 1100 by BH and 5 bucks lighter in the wallet. Had a chance to go out for about and hour and a half so I figured I would see if it worked..put the batteries in and it came on...So off I went...It about paid for itself today..lol Found a sterling ring with what appears to be a smokey colored Topaz stone in it and some clad..but darn..I was kinda fond of the ring..Here are some pics..Thanks for looking..and HH to all

Dang,that is a nice ring. Guess it paid for itself more than once!

 

[ModernMiner]

Geez, what a great buy. I'll give you $6 for it right now!
The batteries cost more than the detector. Congrats on that find.

well at that price you can actually pay for the detector $5 and say $6 on batteries and turn a profit ($11) before the batteries give out --looks like it "paid" for itself already --the rings worth more than the $11 bucks or so that you spent ----Ivan

I bought my daughter one for sl more ($30 with $15 S&H) but she has found a lot of coins, a really cool token and a Canadian quarter with hers in only about an hour. We are still a long way from paying for the detector but she likes her machine and she is good with it. Have fun and NICE RING.

I love the ring and the story!

Almost all the really good stuff I find could be found with any detector.

It's a great reminder to never stray too far from the basics.

Congratulations and thanks for posting that!

Good story. What a bargain.

WTG! Can I have the ring

 

[papa]

MM offered you $6.00,I'll go $7.00,AND pay shipping.

So,there MM, :P

 

[ivan salis]

I'll go whole hog--$12 bucks plus shipping (leave the batteries in)--that way you break even on the detector $5 and batteries $6 and turn a profit ($1) plus you get to keep the stuff you found as "gravy" ---gee ain't I fair---huh---Ivan

 

[Nana40]

What a great deal, SC!! I see everyone is bidding on that detector....I'll give you five dollars for the ring!
