I don't know if Kellyco ever quit being a sponsor or not. If so it was probably because of posts like this. They are probably the largest dealer around and can't be expected to be like a smaller businesses. I bought my first detector from them back in the '80's so they should know the hobby. They were about the only one around back then. No one says you have to buy from them but it doesn't hurt to see if they can make a deal.
