Whites idx pro

[Blacksheep]

I have a chance to buy one for $150, is it worth it? I know next to nothing about detectors I'll admit.

Appreciate any input.

Yes, most definitely go for it if it's in good shape and works!!! That's a GREAT price for an IDX Pro!!
I know my IDX Pro inside & out, and I'll probably never part with it... even though I just bought a Minelab Explorer XS a month ago.

Trying to finalize the deal right now, Hope it works out.

Sweet! I hope it comes through & works out for ya!!
If you end up getting it and have any questions about the machine, I'll do my best to answer them for you.

Thanks Bran, I'll let you know if this pans out.

Sure thing

The detector had the batteries left in it since 03. The batteries leaked into and up through the wiring. Not worth the risk.

Ah, that sucks man... I just wonder if that's really enough to mess the detector up.
Stinks either way though...

For me it is, had flash-backs of an insurance job I did a few years back. A new car was driven into a river, submerged and I was the lucky tech who got to replace every wiring harness and module. The insurance company was kind enough to supply the donor wrecks from which the harnesses/modules were obtained.

One of those was also a water damaged vehicle but the insurance company insisted I "try" those parts anyways (I drew the line at the airbag system, all those parts were new), ended up "married" to that car for almost a year.

Corrosion from water or leaky batteries is never fun.

Darn good point... well, keep your eyes open and I'm sure you'll find a good deal.
I kept searching Craigslist, until I came upon this lot of detecting gear for $800!

Obviously, I believe it was just a God-thing, because there's no way I could've afforded everything like that otherwise.
But still, God works in unique ways sometimes when we keep our eyes open.
