Seen a few post's on the 720i , bent in on the middle of the bucket, no problem with the lifetime warranty , however i am not OLD School , i like to try new scoops , expecially with better materials , like 316 SS , and titanium, i have all 304 stainless at the moment , but can't say my future equipment will be 304 , now that higher end material's are out, just like detector technology, computer's, phone's TV's, everything become's out dated , the question is , are you willing to spend more money on updating, and or for new equipment , over the winter i have got my Excal Blue's Moded, when ever the AQ arive's , it will be ran with OBN skullies , getting that machine will be in question , it will be like my new- one day-Telescope , ya never know till ya try it, after the hype we will see, i do agree with you , on nothing is wrong with the 720i, yes i still have all my SunSpot scoop's , 4 to be exact, One Classic modified, 2 Sugar Sand's modified with 1/4 inch hole's, one 920 IX , one Xtreme X3 with Anderson CF , one Stavr M-9 , all 304 stainless , ALL good scoop's , i am one who update's , you are not, plain and simple, even though i am not an avid hunter, in Earl's world , he like nice updated toy's, and the list will grow even more soon, Criag it's not just detector's and scoops' i have with minimum use , you be surprized to know, other toy's are kept cherry to, surprized the Cherry GT and ETP didn't sell , i guess noone want's a nice machine with a small amount of hours', happy hunting.
, the beaches here are not rock and hard bottom were nothing sinks from the early 1900s and remain's able to get, fresh drops only with junk jewlery , you might find a silver , or tungsten carbide ring here, or phone, but the odd's are against you, it's not Ca , or Fl here , plain and simple. At the end Craig , it doesn't matter what equipment you have , or use , if your happy with what you have , and use , it's OK
