Holy crap! In the 1950’s, you could buy a 7,000 sq. ft. house for that price. Yeah, not for me. More so, for the rich and famous.

Its pretty over the top isn't it.
I remember when I first started detecting for gold anyone could afford to have a go and buy a good machine for not too much. A battler, don't know what you call one maybe someone struggling perhaps, could get a detector and have a go, it gave them hope. And I saw as I worked in a detector shop, numerous battlers succeed and it helped some get a leg up in life. You could get a detector for around a weeks wage. 15k is more like 3 months wage and is so far out of a battlers or even an every day persons reach its becoming more a well off persons hobby or pasttime. Minelab really have over the years since PI began taken it out of the average persons reach.
When they first brought out the first PI the SD2000 it was $2500, within a month or two they saw that people liked them so banged the price up to $4900. I still remember the shock I got when I decided to get one, thinking $2500 that people I met payed, to be told it was now virtually double in price in the short time I saw one till when I went to buy one.
