"Though he be but small, he is FIERCE!"
By what standard? Depth, I.D depth, separation finesse, auto ground balance, tones, notches, ability to work bad ground or wet salt, bottlecap reject or mineral free discrimination and sweep search speed?
I gave my nephew my Excel for X-mas. To him its the equal of a DFX, EXP-2, CZ and Treasure Baron all rolled into one. So what if he did not pay much attention to the manual, and had 8 coins, numerous cartridge cases, bullets, tabs, screwcaps, a railroad spike and a horseshoe for his first 2 hours of hunting. He's looking for Jean Lafitte's GOLD! But he did not start out with a closed mind, and is having the time of his life. You see, he has something sadly lacking in many of the various Forums posts, -HEART!
Many complain about "X features" or the lack thereof, and I'm as guilty as any-but if you had to hunt with an old VLF-TR, no notches, tones, TIDs, and losing 30% of your depth at pull-tab, you would not have lasted one day back in the 1970s.
Take the Edge, or Excel or Ace-250 back in time to 1975 and the least of them would have started at $3000 in 1970 DOLLARS! I gave an Ace-250 to my Doctor's twins who are seven-I thought he was going to cry because he thought it was for HIM!
Its just an attitude adjustment. If you don't believe me, give one of your "Tired & Old" detectors to a young kid, and just get out of the way, because not only will he knock you down ready to use it-he will probably embarrass you with some good finds, because he has not been taught-ITS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
