Well I have seen it all now, kellyco is selling a si Robertson endorsed "treasure commander" only $379!
I would not think that it would be a very good detector at that price. At that price you could get a ML 305, Delta, F2, Eurotek, or ACE and have money for a propointer, and actually have a usable detector.
I was in Wal-Mart , I only go in the sporting goods area , and I saw all this Duck Dynasty stuff , T-shirts , bandannas , hats , etc , then I thought i'd look at one of their duck calls , they didn't have any , , I guess the t-shirts and stuff is making all the money for them now .
Ironically .......... I got a call from a duck last week trying to sell me T shirts
Huh? You would not think it would be? But you don't know that? Why do you say "actually have a usable detector?"
We have a Treasure Commander TC1X and it does everything it says it will do. It is comparable to my daughter's Ace 350. A couple friends who use much more expensive units state it is a very good performing unit. But I'm not in competition. I just in it for the exercise and fun.
And I certainly wouldn't degrade other peoples units because of the price or because its popular to do so.
Perhaps we could get together for a morning at the beach and I'll let you give mine a try. Then you would see how it performs. And maybe you could give me a few tips om detecting.
Yes, It won 4.5 stars on the kellyco website, people who tested TC1X gave favorable comments to it.

A lot of good stuff can be found, 6" or less, which is a pretty easy and clean hole to dig. The deeper you go, the more work you have to do to recover the target. Yeah, a garden spade makes it a lot easier, if it doesn't matter what the covered hole looks like, but not a good idea in most public areas. Doesn't make a lot of sense for the occasional hunter, who really isn't in to digging down a foot or so, for a dime... Really no reason to spend thousand on a machine, you really don't need, or plan to make use of it's full potential.
Why do people buy those huge, four-wheel drive trucks, just to drive around town, never leave the paved roads, load anything in the bed? Not the most practical choice for their needs or use, but it's big, and very expensive, impressive...
