Posting ahead of time hoping to get some reply's from you all. I just got my "papers" to take to the tax man & have an appointment to go see him & do our tax's this comming Monday. I am guessing that by the end of this month or most likely the first or second week of next month I will have my tax return $$$. There are things that will come first but I am going to buy a detector out of some of the money. I sold my only detector and set of headphones before Christmas to help with bills and gifts for my kids. I don't know what I really want - I loved the Compadre I had for the jewelry hunting and tot lot hunting but also loved the Musketeer I use to have for finding deeper coins. What I think I would like try is a Teknetics Gamma but won't have that much to spend. I have been tossing around in my head the idea of trying a new Teknetics Alpha as I have always wondered how well they work. If I could find another Musketeer at a good price I would probably get it. What I need/want is a good "all around" detector. If any of you have anything that you think that I might be interested in please send me a message at skiwhiz1960@gmail.com Sorry to jump the gun but I want a detector bad (and headphones would be a plus) even though I can't use one yet due to our winter weather up here in upstate New York. I hope I don't come across as I am looking for something for nothing as that is not the case. I am willing to pay a fair price but will have only so much to work with. Thanks again. Steve. Thanks! Steve.
