Up now is a brand new SD2100v2 for well under the normal street price of $1698.95 and when you consider that come Jan. 1st 2008 when Minelab will raise the price of a new SD2100 to $1,995.97, this is your last and probably only chance to get a new SD2100v2 at this price. I can’t believe no one snatched it when it was offered just a week ago at $1500. Even now, listed at $1598.99 it’s still a bargain over what you will pay for a new machine in less than a month.
This one comes from a trusted seller, Russ Ford who is a former Minelab dealer so Buy it Now with confidence.

O.K., so the SD2000 sold for $800. Not a bad deal, for PI technology from a trusted Ebay seller Russ Ford.

Next up, an kick butt aftermarket coil. Most folks use aftermarket coils to add flexability to their PI systems. This Coiltek Wallaby DD Pro is great as an all around prospecting or nugget hunting coil. It can handle ground very well and is very sensitive for a large coil. I’ve seen nuggets recovered down to .1 gram with the Wallaby on a GP Extreme on exposed bedrock. Pretty nice for a 17 x 11 coil!

The seller in this case (Edoseal2000) has good feedback AND is known to participate on the gold forums, particularly at nuggetshooter.com. I always think of forum members as a good bet because they have a reputation to uphold not only on ebay but on the forums as well.

Like many, I’m always watching Ebay for good deals that might pop up, especially on detectors. It’s a good way to keep up with the real world value on a detector, find a deal and sometimes, get a few laughs either because of the unrealistic prices asked or because of the obvious scam nature of the auction. ( read: don’t buy brand new detectors from asian or african countries where wire transfer is the only method of payment!) Scams are usually fairly easy to root out. Buy from your home country, look at the sellers history and feedback. Keep up with the auctions and know the right price.

With that in mind, I’ll point out a few nice auctions from time to time. No guarantees here, just more or less showing you what I notice. In this case, an SD 2000, the first Minelab PI which some consider, with Sakina modifications, to be the penultimate of all the Minelab PI’s.

This one has at least some of the Sakina Mods ($$$$) and even comes with a Hermit pick. To boot, it’s offered by Russ Ford, reputable dealer in Northern Arizona:

Now, who said you needed $1000 to get into the PI game? Not anymore.
