Canada post is getting ridiculous with the price of the shipping, one of the reason why I stop buying on eBay . If they can fix it , it’s not a bad investment since that machine probably paid for itself a couple of times , if not fixable you might have to look at different options. For the parts of buying second hands , there’s is not much available, I’ve been look for a white TDI beachhunter . Cannot find any online. Keep us posted about the machine.

All new machines get hype....after all these years we should be digging to China if you listened to the ads and review. John in Edmonton who runs the Garrett Forum on Finds is an example...every new Garrett is the best....then again does he buy each new machine....think not. Won the Go Find 66 at a detecting show if worse comes....Freedom 3 hard to find try finding a hard shell suitcase that is 42X14X22 inches. Be good.

For sure new machine are sometimes better , lighter , and all customizable with shaft , coils and more. At the end of the days you find what work better for you in quality and budget too. I have an equinox 800 and to be honest I like my at pro international better on land because there is less setting to do , at the same time my equinox on a beach and wet sands is way better than my at pro , same for underwater detecting my Excalibur to me is irreplaceable for the water hunting. Lots of good options available these days.

When I used to go to Dominican Republic before the pandemic I was always packing the unit and the coils into a plastic container or Tupperware With a cover , all secured with socks and other clothing’s.

At the moment me and my wife have no plan of travelling outside the maritime even if we are both double vaccinated. If we ever decided to do some vacation in the south in 2022 it will all depend on the covid situations. For the past 2 years we had small vacations in pei and Nova Scotia, lots of great places to see and visits in the maritime, still looking to visit magdelan island , cap breton and grand manan island.
