Metal detector hall of fame candidates?
April 02, 2022 02:13AM
I don't know if their is such a thing but I thought it would be fun to see who everyone thinks should go into if there was one.

I dont know a whole lot but here are some of my choices.

Tom D.
Carl M.
Mary from Whites, she always gave me excellent customer service and more often than not gave me replacement equipment for free.
Bill Lad the original MD nut...Lol
I'm sure there are a lot of people that were awesome I just don't know them.
Who would you nominate?

I second Tom because of all the sites on detectors, this is the only one I still frequent and post on. The knowledge gained from him, surpasses all others I have interacted with combined.

I would also second Bruce Candy. A lot of these guys are one or two hit wonders with detector design and knowledge. Bruce seems to keep redefining the industry standards and resetting the high water mark that all others are compared to.
