Saw an Electroscope All Terrain Pro on sale on eBay. IT IS NOT A GARRETT PRODUCT. It looks like a toy ray gun that you'd see on a Bugs Bunny cartoon. . For $695, it can cover up to 1000 feet and go 6-8 feet deep. However it is advertised as eliminating small items like a single coin or ring.

The advertiser advises that there will be NO refunds except in unusual circumstances and then there will be a 20% restocking fee. Sounds like great customer service.

Sadly I did a screen print but this site won't accept the format so I can't show you this product. But it's impressive that it can be easily held in one hand and yet has such a tremendous range. Looks like it runs off of a single AA battery.

Personally I'm going to stick with my Garrett ATP. I don't need to find 1000 pull tabs at a time.......:laughing::laughing::laughing:
 
This?

The thing is an instruction video I skimmed thru shows the person using the model 20 later switched to a regular detector and found a small item, if you have time to watch all 3 parts of the instruction video you should get a clearer idea of it's main function.

Here is the instruction video I found on it -

 
An electronic dowsing rod. They have been sold in different styles for years but I have never heard of anyone finding anything with one. They usually claim to find gold at great distances. That's cheaper than most of them sell for.

Wow, that looks like a winner. I wonder if he would recommend that I buy one for each hand to cover more ground quicker. I'm sure they would pay for themselves in just a couple of hunts. They certainly look like quality tools with high grade components.

I called him, Mr Madoff, and he suggested I go ahead and get one for each hand and a third as a backup, in case the batteries go dead in the one....he sure is a swell guy
 
I believe P T Barnum covered the subject quite well.

Personally I do spent my money with companies that sell that kind of Junk.

Any dealer who sells that junk is as a minimum greedy and in my opinion a Crook.

Can't help but lol at some of the stuff people come up with. Looks like a ray gun and I wonder if they have a mini one they call a propointer lol
 
Target is selling a similar model for under $30. Probably work just as well.

No returns on all this type of "detectors". That alone should say something. I saw another kind on Ebay where in the details page the seller reacted to the negative talks that have been out about these contraptions. If I remember right, one sentence starts with....Yes we use a soap box but it is only used to contain the electronics. Plastic soap container? Where do I sign up??

And so expensive! 2500.00. But it finds gold 10 miles away! Why sell it then?

I was drinking some coffee when I read this and nearly chocked. I agree, what a swell guy.
