[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 1703930, member: 18320"]Mine is a Pioneer EX 'Bounty Hunter'. Three years ago my 25 YO daughter comes to me in tears, wailin' about her lost nose-pin wit' a wee diamond in it, an it's right out there, she could almost point to it...Help Me, Pappy! I trot down to my local junque store and gave $75 for this rig which I had noticed the day before, popped in a fresh 9V, and 'out there we go'. Maybe six hours later, after covering every which way about 50 square feet, tramping over & over the six-inch deep ground cover: Not a PEEP...not even a whisper. I had never used a MD prior, but you learn quick enough the basics. Tested it several times with very small jewelry items, and all seemed to be OK...but we never did find that thing. Point of the story, of course: I have this (admittedly low-end) MD, and I've been inspired by this thread to go try it out in a couple of likely spots. Hope I don't catch THIS bug, too![/QUOTE]
