Maybe give one to your annoying brother in law. You know "Mr. Know it all," that stretches the facts. I hate it when we're out hunting and he sees a girl at the beach. The first words out of his mouth are, "She smiled at me, she wants me." He deserves a POS cheap detector and yours does too.

well if I had a cheeppo I'd take it along and soonor or later kids will attract to you an with their parental supervision I would seed an area with pennies and let them MD along with you

It promotes the hobby an good will

Loaner.

Offer it to a landowner when asking permission so he can try his luck, too.

Carry it in the car as a back-up or for impropmtu opportunities.

Donate it to a MD club for new members who haven't purchased a unit yet.

Sling it over your back when hunting State land so when you notice a Conservation Officer approaching you can ditch your good unit and allow them to confiscate the cheapo.

Get someone to video tape you hitting it on a bolder at the beach and put it on u-tube

I have bought a cheapo and I am planning on gutting it and putting it inside a waterproof box and seeing what I can find at the local swimming holes and lakes.

Someone tell me if this will work. I don't care if I have to work every target.

 

[spez401]

hmmm cheapo detector...
I like coat stand and youtube video. Also consider
-hat rack
-paperweight
-anchor
-doorstop
-gift to child who keeps stealing/breaking your good detector
-moral lesson for the kids on why you don't want to waste money buying junk
-punishment for the kids - best if used in correlation with high black socks, sandals and hawaiian shirt at the beach in large crowds (aka aversion therapy)
-Way of tormenting the neighbors... (search your property lines at 12pm with the speaker on loud

--but the best use of the detector... keep the receipt. That way, when you buy your brandy new DFX, Excal, explorer, etc... you can show the receipt and say... "but honey, look... it only cost $99.95"

You being a lawyer and all I was wondering if you thought your last suggestion would work? If not is buying a $1000 metal detector grounds for divorce??

 

[litlewolf2]

Good for looking for top soil clad. Especially if it has different tones or ID's. You can pick up decent amount of ching in a shorter time if can only go a few inches deep.

Good for kids to use.

Others you want to get started in hobby and let them get hooked so can buy a real detector and you can have a hunting buddy.

what type of cheap detector did you buy ??

Some one must have gotten Sand Man going today

 

[MEinWV]

A Lamp!

Oh, I just thought of another use!

Instead of the old "purse at the side of the road trick", tie a string to the detector and hide in the bushes. When someone comes by that actually knows what the "contraption" is, start yanking on the string as they try to pick it up. It could take awhile for this to happen, so bring a cushion, a cooler and snacks.

And yet another;

Bring cheapo md's to the beach and bury them in the soft sand and watch other Mder's dig them up.

Convert it to a semi automatic rifle?

 

[spez401]

Mastereagle... do to the fact that my wife occasionally looks over my shoulder while i'm checking posts here... on the off chance that she MAY see this one... I am going to have to decline any comment as to whether or not my previous suggestion has any validity to it other than as a humourous musing intended by my client...er, um me, to get a laugh and um... no I have NEVER done it before with my excalibur or any of the items in my gun collection.

As for grounds for divorce... that is an absolute and unequivical yes... I MEAN NO... nope... not grounds... ever

steve

oh... and as for meinwv's suggestion to bury the cheapo metal detectors at the beach... that is just about the funniest suggestion I have ever heard... and you know every one of us would leave it right there for the next guy... chuckling all the while

I think a "cheap" MD should look at a
family practice. House visits, the
way it once was. Carry a small black bag
that has all the equipment he needs
for telling what is wrong with you.

Folks able to pay with money or trade.

all have a good un.............

Well if you really want to have fun get some roofing tar, we use to call it bull, And coat the handle and shaft with it and place it with a sign ""please do not touch went to the bathroom will be right back""

This stuff is the hardest stuff to get off your hands, and you warned people not to touch, You will laugh when some person grabs it to steal and they realize that they have been had.

Spez401 I of course was just joking about the divorce thing, my wife couldn't afford the pay cut she would take if a divorce was to happen!! As it stands now she gets 100% of my income litterally!!

And I understand what you mean about your better-half reading the forum posts every now and then because my wife has gotten into the same habit. I used her laptop a few weeks ago to make a couple of posts and bookmarked the forum and now she likes to see what other people are finding so she can ask me what I am doing wrong, because I am not finding silver coins, rings, etc!! She told me when I find and nice ring or piece of jewelry for her I can buy a DFX or SE! Unfortunately I only got out 2 hours this week and no jewelry was to be found.

It's not what your doing wrong,It's just being in the right place at the right time, I was at the beach last month and a detectorist was walking towards me on the water line and he decided to stop and walk towards the sand dunes, I kept detecting and found my first gold ring about 10 feet from where the man stopped detecting.


There is alot of great advice on this forum,all the regular people here gave me advice on setting my Excalibur up and since then i have found many coin's and my share of bottle cap's, And the start of many more gold rings, Sandman, Spez, Treasure hunter, and many many more gave me alot of advice, and you will also learn from reading what these people suggest, Good luck and make your wife happy, so that she will let you buy that detector your wanting.

At least a couple of you are sensible. Remember, not everyone can afford a thousand Dollar machine,myself included.So if you wanna do anything at all with the cheapies,send them to me so I can sell them all, that way I can finally get me that Excalibur 1000 i've always wanted!

 

[Tin Nugget]

I bought a cheapo specifically for the grandkids to use. Throw a pocket full of change in the yard. Keeps them busy for quite awhile. Also occasionally take them to the park and turn them loose with it. They have a blast, and of course they get to keep the coins.

Go to your local pawn shop,purchase a small gold necklace,take it home,
"Honey,Look what I found today" When you get your new DFX,send me your old one.

Charlie P, made me laugh,,, reminds me of a favorite family story,,,

My uncle, 6 or 7 years old at the time,,,, played with matches, and burned the house down. No body was hurt, but afterward, the fire marshall told his Mom and Dad, that they should burn his favorite toy,,, He just got a brand new electric train.

They pulled him aside, and asked him, "what is your favorite toy?"

He was onto them,,,, and said,,, "my stick horse"

They burned his train.

I have old metal detectors too, I like the idea of giving them to kids

HH all!
