I care nothing of the monetary value of my finds. It's a hobby like fishing. I can spend $100 on a rod and go catch a big bass. That bass isn't worth any money, but sure was fun to reel in. Same thing with detecting.

Or the problem might be that most people with a T2 already have that coil. I actually have 2 of them myself. If somebody needs one 50 bucks is a great deal on a great coil.

Wow that is impressive. Thanks for the video. I have a Miner John 5x9 folded mono coil. That's a good small coil. I use it most on my big TDI.

People didn't buy a detector. They bought the hype. This Makro company is good at hyping up their product. People actually expected a mid range priced detector made in Turkey to be the best thing ever made. Then once they got one they realized it really wasn't much different than the ones they had before. That's just my 2 cents. I bet it will happen again as soon as another &

I got a Nel Sharpshooter for my T2. I've only been able to use it once, but it is staying on the machine. I hit an old hunted out spot and got some nice targets. I really like this coil. Check out this post from my first hunt with it.

My 2 favorites here in my town are the Fort Pitt museum and the Heinz History Center. The Fort Pitt museum isn't very big but has some great stuff and admission is cheap.

You can go in the Block House for free and get some cool souvenirs. T

Great video. I got a TDI, because I wanted to try a PI machine for handling bad ground. Then I read Steve's information on the versatility of the TDI and thought it was the obvious choice. I'm glad I did. It's a great machine.
