I try to buy local too, but when it comes to spending big $$ I buy from who is less $$.
I got mine from Kellyco and was very impressed with the accessories they included. I thought they were going to be cheap but were actually pretty decent. They had my order at my door here in NC in 2 days and that was standard shipping.
This video shows some of the accessories but there were a lot more that I didn't show.
Also included was a $50 coupon for another Minelab item and a $5 coupon from Kellyco as well.
I was very skeptical of them and their somewhat tacky marketing techniques but they haven't done me wrong. I was very delighted with my experience with them in fact we plan to stop by their store on my next visit to Florida.
I guess the flyers they sent me when I was a kid some 30 years ago finally paid off for them. :-)
(the box on the top that I moved was my BOGO deal, it is a Titan 2000xd AKA Bounty Hunter 2200 that I also got with the order for an additional $99)
Don't laugh at the Bounty Hunter until you have tried one, they are super light, inexpensive, a lot of fun and simple to use and is a great second detector complimenting the Minelab.
