LOL man but you are hopeful. I was looking at the price of the AT Pro in the USA and comparing it to the price of one over here for R10,499 opposed to $594,95 now if I convert that into Rand I get R4967,83 but there is the frat and the import duty of 14% = R695,49 I come to a total of R5663,32 Lets say the the frat is another R1000 that comes to R6663.32 a difference of R3.836 I think that once you have deducted all the costs that the seller makes about 1/2 of this.

All in all it's just not worth my while to get a new detector from the states a second hand one maybe.

How About If I buy one and Send it Nut by Bolt? Shaft, Coil, Control Disassembled, Add in a few old RADAR parts to the Mess?

I thought about doing it that way, the other option is to take a trip to the States for a holiday then come back with the detector,
probably the best way too

I have one friend who swears by his, land, lake or sea. Another gave his away in disgust. The first can't say a bad word about his and the latter can't stop cursing when I ask him.

I tried one for a couple of hours and found it was a decent PI machine. This was the one owned by the first guy above. He used my detector for an hour and didn't really want to give it back. Poor guy.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

In writeup about it they talk about discrimination how can that be if it's a PI machine?

It is just a rumor that PI cannot be discriminated. You, of all people, should know that by now. My Garrett Sea Hunter PI machine was built in the mid 1970s and the discrimination works fine. I never use it, but it does work.

Only discrimination I know of of a PI is Elemination. You Monkey with the Sample delay .

The first things to go is Low Magnetic Conductors like Gold, Aluminum and not.

Good thing is Small bits of Iron go before Coins.

You still have a chance for Rings because of the Copper or Brass Content.

I've never seen a PI with Notch Discrimination.
