mackem 24,113 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Machines depreciate rapidly,my local detecting shop is only a mile away,he has a decent array of used machines at affordable prices because detectorists are like fishermen,always wanting the next models,you can get a sovereign used with 8 inch coil for a couple of hundred quid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
