I hate to give my secret away. I used this Auction site to search for used thing I am looking to buy. This year is my first yr to detect. My first MD I bought for $5 at a Estate auctions, it was a like new Garrett Ace 300. I used it for a few weeks them bought a new Ace 250 online. Then I sold the Ace 300 for over $125 on ebay, helped pay for my 250. I also bought a Fisher M-80 for $3. I new it was a real oldtimer but it still works. I have no idea how to set it but it still powers on. Ain't figured out how to set the right " plus negitive " knob yet.
Here is the link with a Cal. zip inserted. It doesn't matter what zip you put in if you are searching "any" miles from your zip. Doing "any" will show you any MD for sale at any auction that is connected to auctionzip....To search your surrounding area just change the miles....
