That is too funny... about 5 years ago I wanted to metal detect with my then 16 year old son, he was like ..yeah dad buy some metal detectors and let's go detecting!
Well I read up on detectors, haggled prices, visited pawnshops and auctions and even drove to another state to get a smashing deal.
I ended up buying the MXT Pro for myself and the M-6 for my son, additionally I found a regular MXT deeply discounted so I picked it up as well.
I got an incredible deal on the total 3 units plus a pinpointer (all for about $675), needless to say, my kids interest wained after about 3 weeks and I didn't want to go out and miss time with him so I shelved the idea and sold all of the detectors.
I did make a descent profit on selling all three so not all was lost.
Now that he is a young man and in college I have decided to go out and detect again.
I picked up an old classic fisher CZ-5 for $120 and a Nokta Marko Gold Kruzer package for for $600. I am currently looking for a good PI unit.
I did like the whites m-6 though, the mxt's not so much.
