Hey Ryan goto this web site and get a 3 yr warranty from them:
http://www.squaretrade.com
since the metal detector will be New & you will have the reciept
they will sell you a warranty on it, keep everything that came in
the box except the warranty card that Garrett put in there, fill it
out & send it in.
Heres the thing about Square Trade if something goes wrong
with the metal detector or you have ANY kinds of problems
they have a Tech Support Team, which you can call & they
will help you out, if the Metal detector has something that they
can not work out over the phone they will tell you where to take it
or send it too & if those techs can not fix the problem they will
issue you a 100% refund for the cost of the machine less state
taxes & shipping cost, you would get a Refund w/ in 5 days from
the techs telling Square Trade that they could not fix the unit.
Also they do have the right to have there Tech warehouse to ship
ship you anouther unit.
I hope this info. helps you protect your back 40...but when it
comes too ur wife I don't know what too say...
