Doc, The last time I checked my body,  I had so many Minelab cuts, bruises and battle scares, I was afraid to look at myself in the mirror 🪞. They Minelab already has our names on the Wall of Flame..  They're waiting to burn 🔥 it.

No worries, I still have my award. The only problem is nobody currently working at Minelab USA even knows about it. 

I should have known the writing on the wall when I was presented this extremly rare, prestigious and valuable award at the Banquet.  I purchased over 1 million dollars in detectors in 1 fiscal year from 1 manufacturer (Minelab). Kellyco and I were the only ones.

This beauty is my reward.  No free truck, no free week in Hawaii, no free TV. Not even a free GPX-5000.  Just a piece of glass with my name on it. 

That folks is what you get for buying over $1,000,000.00 of Minelab detectors.  laughing all the way to the bank.

Oh well, at least for a while I was pretty well known across the industry.  Now, just a more wise senior talking about the good ol days. 

It was fun though, you, AZO, Rob, Stu, and a few others.  Most aren't even around in the game anymore.  Kinda sad to see. 

Hey at least it's pretty.

I’m guessing all the care and quality designed components and manufacturing probably goes into Codan’s HF radios and transceivers. Codan equipment is very well regarded in Australia……I guess when you’re dealing with equipment that may relate to a life or death matter then quality and reliability isn’t something that is compromised. When it comes to metal detectors then maybe not so much. The problem is a GPZ7000 costs the same as two high end HF radios !!!

Maybe one day they won't even make metal detectors anymore, they're only good when good targets can be found after all.
