I too can vouch for Bart. I contacted 3 different sponsors and asked all 3 for their best price. Bart was the lowest and he shipped very fast. You can call him and he will answer any questions you have.

Just purchased a Fisher F2 with the three coils and I will also say that Bart is the person to deal with. Great prices and very professional.

Now for the wait but that's ok. Its for the wife and it will be another month before she will be able to get out with her new toy.

Any way deal with Bart for all your detector needs.

Phil

I have dealt with Rich at Colonial Metal Detectors. I found his prices and service outstanding.

I had good service from Kellyco! Sounds like lots of ways to get a good detector. Any hobby shops in Valpo?

HOLLER >>> Bart, Would you reconsider shipping to New Zealand in the near future?

We are so much like you guys - we speak English in a funny sort of way - play a version of gridiron but call it rugby, whereas, our defensive players are also our offensive players (that'll be due to the lack of population) & we have lots of junk food outlets that will accept our dirty clad & in return give us dirtier food ........

What do you reckon big guy? - Will you give us a shot one day?

I would love to open up international shipping but most of the manufactures wont allow it.

I am soooo in on the junk food! Anything with grease or cheese I wanna try! lol

Thanks for all the props everyone. Much appreciated!

Bart is always my first recommendation but from the looks of the OP's name and location he is likely from Valparaiso, IN. One of our sponsors is a dealer from Valpo ( I think). I can't remember the name but you might check around locally. Ordering on line is fine but it is not a bad idea to be able to get in and handle a detector and see which one feels right to you.

the phone number for the vendor in Valpo does not work, or didnt when I called. I have looked on line and found nothing around here. I purchased my detector at a big retail shop, that has MD stuff in the corner. Would be nice to put my hands on a pinpointer or digger to see what I like. Never ordered my other hoby stuff on line unless i touched it. Kinda funny that way.

My pinpointer would have been almost $40.00 more than what I got it for from a sponsor.
