<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 7349421, member: 106826"]Both of my earlier detectors were from the Shack. $39.99 back in the late 70s paid for itself multiple times over. Silver was booming and I found quite a bit scanning the backyards of every family member as a kid. Bought the next one 10 years ago, on a whim (kids were growing restless at a party we were at) for $89.99. It hasn't been used much, but found a few collectibles including an IHC (I think it was 1867 in VF condition) that went to the birthday boy. So that one was probably paid off inside a few hours.</p><p><br /></p><p>I may get out there tomorrow to do a side-by-side comparison, as I didn't have time today. But in the short test drive, I found items that I'm pretty sure I should have found with the old detector, so the Vanquish on early review seems to be living up to the hype. And that would suit me fine. I plan to go back over areas I thought should yield more hits than I got with older RadioShack unit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
