Steve----I'll take on your "final question"-----The convenience (less hassle) of a Minelab re-chargeable battery pack & charger (at least to me) is definitely a big plus!-----Is it worth the extra money?---That is up to you (the individual)---to me it is.----They last long enough to do a long days hunt.-----------More than all this---one thing that concerns me the most & it

Yeah, it's a good thing you got your Etrac when you did Brian.-----That one report I seen said the Etrac was going up fifty bucks.------Biggest increase was that whopping $250 for the GT though.-----One of the Xterras & the Eureka Gold was actually going down in price (at least according to the report I seen).--------What with these price increases I've kind of changed my line of th

I hear Minelab is raising their prices on several of their detectors Sept. 26th.------WOW, a one shot $250 price increase on the Sovereign GT!------If that happens, what is that going to do to sales, etc.?------Looks like they are going to price us right out of the market (at least me).--------Del

OK then, going with this discussion----It is said both ways between the F-75 LTD (camo) and F-75 SE (black).-----So is it just a "crap shoot" between the two regarding one being better than the other?----For some time I have heard-----there is no difference between the two-----or the F-75 LTD is the best----or the F-75 SE is the best.-----Is it just a "roll of the dice" when
