You're hilarious man! Love the way you used the words "any good" hahaha- but your being factual / truthful too!
I mean, if he got this thing and it wouldn't power up even, he could still use it for beating down a burglar,or as a door prop or something!?! - This i guess would Technically make it "any good"! I don't know about a $200 door prop though lol!
Laughing out loud- literally! Someone should start a thread about crazy/stupid/ unbelievable uses for for metal detectors - other than the intended use of course- if someone starts this thread and people start posting pics- I could be entertained indefinitely I think!?!
