Thanks for the good advice guys! It sounds like it is a good machine with lots of bells and whistles. Although, not all of you praise it, I think that is what makes the world go around. I appreciate both positive and negative feedback.
I have been looking and waiting and reading etc.....for a long time. After just about driving myself crazy,
I finally broke down tonight and
bought an XLT from my local dealer!
I hope I ended up making the right choice. I feel sometimes making
a choice is better than waiting for something that doesn't materialize. I feel that I had to just go and take the plunge. I just hope I don't have any regrets, but I guess experience will be my best teacher.
I think I got a pretty sweet deal. (I hope). I bought the XLT detector and he threw in a Bullseye II hand probe, nylon detector bag, and headphones. I checked out Kellyco online and by the time I read the small print and added up detector, accessories and shipping, I was just about as well to order it locally. The guy that sold it to me said he would go detecting with me anytime. He is a cool old guy and I think I will take him up on it. So far, I had a good experience.
Thanks again for everyone's comments. I hope I get to take it out for a spin tomorrow night!
