Sorry about the video after I find the pocket spill, I was shaking!

I think Doc pretty much nails it here. Minelab will have to hire experienced Minelab USERS to man their customer support and help line for direct sales, and they may find that expensive. Experienced dealers who can provide face-face instruction will never be replaced. Whether it's teaching folks to prospect for gold, or how to set up your Manticore for relic hunting, hands on instruction and classes are the next step for dealers. There is money to be made instructing groups of detectorists, and offering group discounts on detectors and equipment packages. New times, new challenges, new solutions.

PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release Date: Tuesday, May 14, 2024 From: Metal Detectors 4 Veterans, Inc. http://www.MD4V.org Contact: Terry Soloman, President (914) 589-3985 TerrySoloman@aol.com Subject: Garrett Metal Detectors Donates to White Plains Veterans Charity Garrett Donates Industry Leading Pro-Pointer AT Pinpointers to MD4V.org White Plains, NY – Garrett Metal Detectors, America’s leader in metal detecting technology, has donated top-of-the-line Garrett Pro-Pointer AT handheld pin-pointing metal detectors https://garrett.com/sport/pro-pointer/pro-pointer-at to Metal Detectors 4 Veterans (MD4V.org), a Westchester County, NY, non-profit charity that provides metal detecting therapy to veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and related conditions. The donated pinpointers will be gifted to financially insecure veterans throughout the Country and used in demonstrations for veterans in the Lower Hudson Valley. Terry Soloman, President of MD4V.org said, “I want to thank Garrett Metal Detectors and Director Richardson, for these unmatched devices as well as Garrett’s firm support of our veterans in need. These Garrett Pro-Pointer AT pinpointers make finding targets much easier and pleasurable for both the beginner - and the experienced metal detectorist. They can be used anywhere, on land or submerged in water, even on a saltwater beach. The Garrett Pro-Pointer AT even has a built-in flashlight.” Metal detecting therapy is an effective tool that can help combat veterans deal with the symptoms of service related Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) “Metal detecting is beneficial as it gives the veteran a way to reduce their stress by distracting them from dark or negative thoughts and feelings,” says Soloman. “It encourages the veteran to engage in a calming, meditative activity that gets them outdoors, reduces stress, and improves mood.” About Metal Detectors 4 Veterans, Inc. MD4V.org started in 2023, as a personal mission for Terry Soloman, a US Army veteran and member of American Legion Post 1038 in Valhalla, New York. Using his own funds and donations from a YouTube channel he created, Terry sent 49-finacially insecure veterans new metal detectors and equipment last year. Incorporating in 2024, and achieving 501c3 charitable status, the organization hopes to reach many more veterans this year.

Oh man....

When Vince convinced his mother to close the company and sell the building, an entrepreneur down south bought all the remaining machines in the warehouse. I Imagine they will be selling soon if not already. Wish I knew, I'd be first in line!

I have an original hardwired Compadre, that I still use to teach my beginner veterans proper technique and pinpointing, so they are not overwhelmed right out of the box. That's me with Vince Gifford, and Rusty Henry, at the factory in Prescott. In the early to mid 2000s, I used their Lobo Super Track for my gold prospecting business south of them in Congress, Arizona.

I found an 1825 example here: https://archive.org/details/TheEagleAndTheShield/page/n221/mode/2up

Save some money and get a Minelab Vanquish 540. It is SMF and I find quarters at 16" in wet saltwater sand with it. Drives the XP and Equinox guys nuts!
