Just a shout out to Merill. I love your straight shooting NYC style. I'm a relative newbie to detecting. Had about 6 detectors in the past year. Ended up with a simplex. Can't get a 'Nox or wife would leave me. So far I've got about $30 in clad coins with a few silvers. Also enough car parts to make a car. Found a pair of police handcuffs. Got asked to leave a few public totlots. (Could be my heavy flannel jacket and bag of candy . . . just kiddind pervs deserve 440 volts not Vanquish 440!) My new purchase is a Vanquish 540. Probably my last unless I want to share room with Fido.
Thanks again for your excellent work - Steve from Georgia
though i agree its a good idea from merril , as a last resort change the wife and get a partner who is into detecting ......only joking.
Steve,
The trick is to give your change to your wife! Go to coinstar and choose a gift certificate so you dont get charged 10%. Then give it to her to spend. In time she will see the hobby pays for itself. Thank you for the kind words!
Hi Steve
I found your post most amusing and fully understand about keeping the wife happy , but remember when the goodies start coming up on a regular basis that might might be the time to upgrade to a nox900 without upsetting the wife , but anyhow welcome to the great world of detecting and good luck for the future ,
