Check our classifieds and our sponsors (they sometimes have gently used ones).

Default Greetings from sunny Arizona....
Welcome to the forum! KELLYCO (who is a sponsor) also has used units FS, and I keep an eye on eBay & Craig's List just to see what is out there. If you do your research, and know which unit you want to buy, you could pick up a good deal, but you do have to be careful! Good Luck on your quest.....

HH, Dave..........

Welcome from Kansas. Midway U.S.A.
Even a low end detector will get you started. It will let you enjoy the fun of digging up the past and give you more of an idea what you want in a better detector. Keep reading the posts for more information, and ask questions if you have any.
