3 Frequencies, Why Not 28?

>> $800 dollars will STILL buy you a quality detector here in 2009.<<

Mike is right on that!

My wife out did my V3 the other day with her 19 year old Eagle II SL 90 -- LOL

Location is the reason :-|

What is more scarier than a $1700 metal detector is that many of us remember a nickel candy bar, a dime bottle of pop, a Saturday afternoon movie for a quarter, a gallon of gas for 29 cents or 19 cents if a gas war was going on. The list goes on endlessly and some of you are older than me. Heck, a brand new very nice automobile in the mid 1960's was around $2,000 if my memory is any good.....

The V is a bargain at $1700 and it just takes one or two very nice finds to pay for it. In my 30 years of detecting, I have yet to own a detector that did not pay for itself many times over and that does not include the price I got selling it used when I upgraded to a newer unit. The first and only exception I can think of is the SE Pro that I will probably sell soon, but even then, I will get close to what I paid for it after using it for a couple of years.

People often comment, "those who spend time digging pennies from the dirt are a thrifty bunch"! There is some truth to it.

The inexpensiveness of any metal detector is directly proportionate to the amount of time one spends uses it. Can that be said of anything other than a metal detector?

As if that were not enough, metal detectors hold their value better than most comparable but different products. Not unusual for a 10 year old metal detector to sell for 50% of it's original cost. Most comparable products, ten years old, are thrown in the trash, or at best $20. at a yard sale.

Fact is... a good metal detector is like owning a Goose that lays golden eggs!
