Looks like you've been in a burn pile and it's melted aluminum. Just my two cents worth. It would help if you noted what other objects you found with it or where you were hunting. GaryC/Oregon Coast

OK, OK, I did not see where you figured in the "Border Crossing" Payment! Surely it was not smooth sailing? Nice post and story!! GaryC/Oregon Coast

I'm the 73 year old kid on the Oregon Coast who in no way in h-ll will ever pay for this thing by finding enough gold in ten years but still wants one to play with! Like Skate says, I'm the only one who's going to know if it works for me or not. If I don't like the damn thing I'll sell it. GaryC/Oregon Coast

Ridge Runner had the same fix I had to do on an X-Terra 70 and 705. Both times when I got those detectors they cut out on me the same way. They don't have slide in battery packs but did have weak springs keeping the batteries from making good contact. GaryC/Oregon Coast

Now that's a dig it all attitude! Persistance pays off! GaryC/Oregon Coast

Warranty & Customer Service is going to be more important than price, especially on initial release. Bugs and failures are going to appear and quick turn around on parts and repairs are going to pay huge dividends in the long run. Just my opinion. Where is the factory repair facility?
