This is not your Canadian Tire brand metal detector. Definitely will be an upgrade to those lesser machines. This great detector has helped me find Silver, gold, many common coins and a variety of relic items. This is the best Metal Detector I have owned, but it must be sold, as my old wrists are getting tired and sore and I am unable to swing this great machine for very long. Please email, text or call my cell to see this excellent detector working. ( you have to come to me in Cowichan Valley )
