i think on the metal detector stuff is u need one over $400 for itto find more then junk stuff
the higher end ones can block out junk and then u dont get bored and put it in closet
if all u find is pull tabs and trash then i would give up too after a few tries
been watching on utube people finding clas rings and running the folks down and givingthem back so cool huh
and there is one guy puts add on craigs list that he will find u lost rings and stuff ]
so people that just lost rings over the weekend at beach or ballfield call him and he goes find them it's cool to see happy people

Nah, it's always hit or miss here.
Thanks for the tips, the one we have is a Garrett, it's pretty old, Mr. V thinks late 80's, we'll see what happens. :laugh: It's going to be awhile, there's still a lot of snow on the ground here.

Funny, I think Mr. V is packing some Cake right now.

I have no idea what model this big green thing is, but I will ask Mr. V to look. He said he has the book too, so hopefully it works.
It will be fun to see if there's anything interesting on our property. You never know.
the one i ordered is a Garrett AT Gold

That's too funny! I considered getting once a while back too, but then I looked at prices and even the cheaper ones are expensive and you know those cheaper ones probably aren't the best way to be throwing your $$ away.

I found a $200 nickel in my yard, sold it in town, and then that's what got me considering one. Luckily though I only considered it long enough to look around google and ebay for a few, then I put my wallet back ans saved a ton of money! :D

Welcome! Im Tiff. Im not terribly interesting so I won't bore you with details.:D

All that's missing from my day is a swarm of locusts or a cholera epidemic or something. It's one of THOSE days! :facepalm:

That stinks Rick! Hope your evening goes better.

Thanks, nice to start chatting with you all as well! Ahh, I can't remember now. It was a year or two ago, I found it in the yard and then looked it up on ebay and saw how much they were selling for. I think the main thing was the date and how old it was, it was pretty old but I don't remember how old (1800's I think)

Never happy with ebay's fees so I took it into the local shop, and they wanted to research so I left it with them thinking maybe I'd get more than I was asking. I tried to get $250, but we settled on an even $200. Some in perfect condition were selling on ebay around $400-500, but this one wasn't in the greatest condition, and those were going for 200-300, so I think I came out pretty good. Surprised me actually, I figured the smaller local shop would try to rob me blindly, but they didn't even try to low-ball me at all.

I figured date had something to do with it. That seems like a fair deal.

Hope ya' stick around. There are some really awesome people that hang out in this little corner of ECF. :)
