$5 detector makes me a believer....

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

Awesome.

My daughter uses a Discovery 2200 and it's a great machine. Yours can't be that much different.

Congrats.

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

LOL...I should have been an auctioneer...
