Angolo Antico 10 Posted August 2, 2010 Hi Guys, I would like to buy a secondhand ( Excellent condition ) metal detector for someone who wants to start coin hunting, I did some research and think the best and most economical would be a Garret Ace 250 or a White's detector, anyone who can help? thanks again MK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angolo Antico 10 Posted August 3, 2010 Hi lilythepink, It does sound interesting enough, so I might be joining the coin hunters soon :rolleyes: Hi Babyface2, if you can get me one within the next 2 weeks ( needed as a birthday gift ) which is in an excellent condition, we are looking not to pay more than +-R1100.00 for the Ace 250 or a Good model from White's. @Craig Thank you, I saw the category in question, but to little products listed to make an informed decision. We need more sellers who offer this type of product. thanks for all of your replies. regards MK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilythepink 11 Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks, Craig. Most interesting looking at the items. The hand-held ones scare me and the "fun/real" ones are far too expensive. Will have to wait for babyface2 to contact me when she has one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wayjen 10 Posted August 4, 2010 Hi Wayjen, Find anything interesting to share with us? i threw that bottle cap away years ago, if i knew about BoB back then I would have posted it online for you. I need to tell you this story. We were at Paarden Eiland fleamarket one day and I took my daughter across the railway lines to the beach. We had no sooner stepped onto the sand and sat down and I found just over R1.00 odd under the sand. What was amazing to me was the fact that out of the whole of the beach area I had to sit down on the very spot where someone had lost a few coins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilythepink 11 Posted August 5, 2010 Speaking of Metal Detectors... did you guys see this listing? Other Security & Surveillance - Garrett Metal Detector Promotion for sale in Johannesburg (ID:24246519) Ja, well, no, fine! (I can't really have "fun" with this room and at the price it would almost bankrupt my "hobby" on BoB! LOL) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
