Well Folks, looks like I'm gonna bite the bullet. Garret has cut me yet another deal not to be turned down. So I will be ordering the Scorpion along with my new Sea Hunter as a companion detector for primarily land use.
Yes I wanted it for myself (you didn't hear that from me tho
) but figured if I had a second detector I might be able to interest my wife in coming out and joining me. 
Couple evenings ago I gently asked her if she thought she might enjoy getting out to the beach ect. and get some exercise while doing some detecting and her reply was "yeah I guess I could give it a try, you could teach me with yours" she said. I explained that each detector has it's own little quirks and behaves differently than the next and ideally it would be best if she had her own. That way she could learn on just one machine and always have the same machine to use.
To make a long story short, Garrett threw out the right numbers and I know if I don't take advantage of them that they won't be there the next time when I go to get that second unit so I'm just gonna bite the bullet now. Then the wife can give it a go and if she does not like it well then I still have two detectors to use.
Now the tense days of wondering how she will react when the second machine is unwrapped along with the first one and she realizes that I bought not one but two detectors!
