Metal detector

[Middlesbrough123]

daft question, but when you get a hit how far down can the items be. ???

Didn’t you buy your kid one ?

 

[Charlie]

Most things are with 6 inches depth

Didn’t you buy your kid one ?

No I dont have one

Just curious I guess

 

[Middlesbrough123]

Think I got you mixed up with another poster who was after buying thier kid one .

I know lad whose been doing it for years he recons you could make a living if you did it full time

 

[Middlesbrough123]

Sell you a 540 , mint condition .
With duracell charger and 8 duracell rechargeable batteries , screen cover , wired headphones
£320 .

You don't need the bigger coil that comes with pro pack, they are poor .
Same with the minelab pinpointer, poor .

Spend as little as you can when first having a go, it might not be the hobby for you
You can always add things later if you do take to it, but will buy better than the rubbish they throw in 'free' .

Are you open to an offer for this ?
A new one with 3 year warranty is £400

 

[Charlie]

That's a good price, I'd go for that .
3 year warranty is great

 

[Middlesbrough123]

It’s probably why there’s no used ones on eBay

 

[Charlie]

Aye, it's not worth us selling for under £300 , so people will just keep them as their main machine .

 

[Middlesbrough123]

Are you using something else as well ?

I wouldn’t mind one myself - do you need a nerd certificate to participate first

Ended up getting a minelab explorer 2 off eBay £322

Just tested the machine in the back garden for the first time . I out this down as modern lead shot but it’s apparently musket balls 1600-1700’s
