☠ Cipher Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I’m always combing through the buy, sell, trade mediums to find great deals on machines and gear. Releases like the Simplex and Vanquish have really placed a new ceiling on the value of older equipment. Still, I thought this was a good deal. Whites MX5 Metal Detector Whites Bullseye TRX Keene 50” gold sluice box Garret gold pan and classifier assorted diggers Beach scoop (mid end) $225 I went ahead and bought the lot so I could keep the bullseye Trx and gold sluice. The rest will be sold later in the year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahts-a-dats-ago Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 The MX5 was one of my favorite machines ever (the other was the V3i). Simple to use, effective, and fun. If everything works as it should, I think you got a great deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

☠ Cipher Posted February 5, 2022 Author Share Posted February 5, 2022 After I bought it I remembered that I had a non-Vrated Super 12” concentric I had mistakenly bought for my V3i. I checked the 9” Spider that came stock on the MX5 and it’s V-rated, so I’ll be keeping that for the V3i and I mounted the Super 12 on the MX5. I must say I’m very impressed with preliminary air tests with either coil on the MX5. It’s a beast. I had no idea So I got an extra or backup Bullseye TRX, a 50” gold sluice, and 9” concentric for my V3i out of it. Come spring I’ll make all or more than I paid back out of the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 It cost me more than that to get a refurbished TRX from USA. What a score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☠ Cipher Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 I just didn’t have the heart to ask him to take less. I figured that in asking $225 he probably really only wanted $200, but I just went with well enough on this one. I especially didn’t want to let the TRX get away. Ever since Whites went out of business I wished I had bought an extra. Now I have one if anything happens to my original. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
