Tony Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 And I'd rather have 2 x 3000's than 1 x 6000..........😛 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 As for paying cash. Heck, I've had guys send $5000 cash in the mail,certified. Then have me send their detector to the hunting buddies house. 🤣 He must know his limits with his wife well. Was it a good investment buying yourself the detecting gear? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of like the Cancun Metal Detecting vacation I just returned from. Totally did it for the wife, she's the boss. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorado Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Reminds me of a fishing trip I did some years ago with a mate of mine. Thought I would be smart, went into a fishing tackle shop and bought some new gear and paid cash. Forgot all about the receipt until my wife found it in my pants pocket when doing the washing. Cheers. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
