I hate to admit this, but I just bought my fourth C$. My hunting buddy asked me why I didn't keep the first couple that I owned and here is my story. I am not wealthy and I like to try different detectors so I sold them to try the others. It seems that the C$ has lost it's resale value and that is a shame as it is a very good detector. I got a great deal on a very underrated detector. After the detector was delivered today, I took it for a quick check out hunt at a friends house. Twenty minutes and I dug two wheaties at about 7 inches and for the sake of testing, I dug pulltabs and junk. I knew the junk before I dug, but the detector performed just like my old ones. The numbers jumped all over the place on the junk and locked on with the coins. I have a couple of places that my previous C$'s performed like no other detector that I have owned and I am looking forward to giving these spots another go. R.L.
