I've been looking around for a Minelab Excal and manged to get a new one for $780 that was in a water damaged box (imagine that a waterproof detector in a water damaged box) that still carries the warranty. While talking on the phone with the dealer I happened to mention I was looking for an F75 as well....I was then informed he had one cheap ($740 with a hard case) as he was discontinuing sales of Fischer's ....I got lucky when they were delivered I was home and she wasn't!!
To ease the pain, and have an explanation ready when she figures it out I sold the GTI 2500 to cover the F75.
Been learning both detectors....and I have been very pleasantly surprised with the F75. That thing goes really deep and with the soft sandy soil in Charleston where I do a lot of my hunting depth is the key in my opinion. _________________ Detectors: Fisher F75, Minelab 1000 & Garrett Pro Pointer.
Best Finds: 1828 and 1843 Large Cents, 1880 Three Cent Piece, 1897 Barber Dime, 5 Gal bucket of nails and pulltabs.
All sounds good to me. Just tell her these ARE the old ones, maybe she won't know the difference. I'm holding it for a friend?

I make sure I only have one out at a time. Since I sold the Garrett and replaced it I think she only notices one and thinks the MInelab is the Viper Trident that my son had and sold. So my stealth program seems to be working. _________________ Detectors: Fisher F75, Minelab 1000 & Garrett Pro Pointer.

Hey; sound like a good plan, mind if I brough it. I sold my wifes and she don't know it yet. I don't what type I'm going to get as yet, but I'll have to ship it to my work, not home when I do.
