Againstmywill

I ordered from them on Sept. 20th and did not receive an email yet. I, too, tried an email and a couple calls to Kellyco and got no response from the email and could not get through on the phone. Even their live chat feature said they could not chat now. I knew it would be a wait, but to have zero communication for 5 months was probably as frustrating for me as it was for Kellyco when Minelab was having Cabela's sell units before their customer's pre-orders were fulfilled. I have learned from this process and will take this knowledge and pull from it in the future. Thanks for the heads up about the shipping of units.

Thanks, Skate.

Thanks. Wasn't sure if he had purchased one or if it came with.

I will be moving to the Clearwater area in July. Anyone on this forum that is in the area and is willing to show me the ropes of beach detecting? I currently am landlocked in the western U.S., so I don't have any idea how to read a beach. The only beach success I have had was on vacation in Puerto Rico a few years back. I took my AT Pro and found out quickly that it is not so good on the beach! However, the night before leaving the island, checking through the finds from the week, there was a copper Maravedi from just after 1500--something I thought was junk. Goes to show that we should take the junk with us and check our finds before pitching them in the trash. I have an Equinox 800 on the way, so salt and water should not be a problem now.

I pre-ordered mine on Sept. 20 from Kellyco and have heard nothing from them yet. I have tried to call a couple times, but gave up after waiting for close to a 1/2 hour. When I check on my order using their site, I see "pending". I'll update when I hear something. Also, anyone know if a Minelab cap or t-shirt are being included in the boxes that have already arrived?

This is my first post after lurking for many months. Steve, you have a way with words and a level of civility that verges on saintly. I have learned a great deal reading your posts, specifically about the Equinox, and I hope to glean more from this excellent forum in the future. Thanks to others who also contribute excellent content. While I don't have much to share, I thought I would at least post a "tip" for a common problem we have. Here is a link to a video describing a way to keep the Garrett Carrot's tip from wearing through for not much money.
