Mn Metal Detectors Shops

I've been dwelling on the Mn Metal Detector Shops in my area,which by the way are not to many,but my point is does a person really need a metal detector shop to find the detector that's right for you,or perhaps accessories if that be the case?

I have not been to all the shops in this state that sell metal detectors,but the few I've been to,are like going to a used car lot dealing with a used car salesman.

They monopolize the price,so you are not going to find a better deal by going to another shop.The prices are set in stone,and the mark up is there.

What is the markup the dealers get,by being able to purchase in bulk..and thus sell to us consumers?

That's a good question?

Or do the business owners who sell detectors for a living take this curiosity as a threat to their very survival?

Well honestly speaking,I personally don't care what they think,else I would not be writing this article.

That's why I strongly recommend you look around when shopping for metal detectors.

Many of these dealers have the prices set in stone,and many of the brands these companies push,decided to take care of the dealer..before the consumer.

So in many ways,shopping for metal detectors is like going though a car lot shopping for cars.These salesman need their cut,like they built the dam things.

Now please know now,I don't hate,nor am I against the Mn Metal Dector Shops in the state.I'm just stating,that there is markup on detectors,and the dealers who sell them,I won't bend over backwards buying the slogan how great it is to support local business.

Buying something anywhere for that matter,only helps the guy selling.

When it's made in America,you're dam right it helps,but what difference is there buying one online for a cheeper price?

This economy is hurting us shoppers too!!

We've been spammed here pretty dang hard by local metal detector shops,and their bottom line is how great it is to buy local,and help your local community by keeping business in the area.

Well that's great for them,but we're not talking groceries here,or clothing.

It's a metal detector for Christs sake...

Most these shops think this blog is here to support their business.

If any product is sold from this blog,I get a chump change at best.

For example to keep it simple,I make 4 bucks out of every hundred spent.

A dealer makes a hell of alot more than that,and many of these dealers spend their time here to get whatever sale I can get..Which is about 1 sale a year,they feel they need that too.

They have the detector for you,and they absolutely love selling them to a family,or husband / wife..because they end up selling more detectors.

I'd say the big money when it comes to metal detectors..is selling them!!!

LOL

I'd say 75% of all metal detectors sold,the guy who sold it to you,made more money off the markup,than what you'll ever pull out of the ground with it.

The dealer selling this to you,knows that :)

This sounds more like lining their own pocket,than making a big difference for your local economy,by buying local etc.

I've had it with these shops,and websites that come here trying to sell their shit,by using my reviews,my experience,and the stories..and opinions I have to share here.

You guys have shops,and websites..stay the hell out of here,because if I wanted to inform all my readers where all the local metal detector shops are..I'd just cust,copy,and paste the phone book here..Geeewhizzzz.

I've told my readers a gazillion times..shop where you can get the best deal,and most all reputable brands of detectors have a warranty.

If it was not for the warranty,even the dealers wouldn't be around very long..It's that warranty that makes a detector reputable,and finding the best price for a detector is the other factor in my book..Not metal detector dealers with the smile on their face,and pissing down my back at the same time..

Yea,yea,yea..I've heard it all..The dealer is very resourceful,helpful,knowledgable etc..

This is Minnesota for crying out loud...LOL

When it comes to someone selling you a metal detector,they sell alot of jargon as well getting you to buy it.

It's really up to you,on what you accomplish,and what your gains will be.

If treasure hunting is in your veins,you won't remember a dam word the dealer said to you on your purchase.

I'll keep you posted on the local Mn Metal Detector shops..that I assure you of.

Bad Locations Metal Detecting

I have not written much here,because my adventures out in the field can be summed up as some bad lacations for metal detecting.

Not bad as in nothing has been lost at these locations over time,it's just they are cleaned out.

So I decided to vent a little here tonight,and have come to the conclusion that the worst places to metal detect are locations that have been cleaned out by other coin hunters with a detector.

I know this is not positive news to the readers here,but the best places have been cleaned out long ago.

So just by typing in google looking for the best locations to metal detect here in Minnesota..A thousand other folks with metal detectors just did prior to yourself.

Odds are you'll be digging up the same junk targets the guy/gal prior to you dug up,and you'll begin to notice you're un-earthing the same crap,then reburried in the same hole more than once.

Now that's a bad location.

Now..I know we all hear the salesman do his pitch,and those that promote specific brands of metal detectors,and some of the encouragement from other metal detector folks.

They say this old quote ->

"Just because someone else already metal detected the area,don't mean he,or she found everything".

No,I guess it don't mean the place is 100% cleaned out by the prior person metal detecting the area.

But after 100 people over time have metal detected that area,one can say it's pretty cleaned out.

So that old saying,and quoute I just mentioned..really is a weak statement when it comes to regards of Mn metal detecting.

We don't have the beaches,with the tides churning sand un-earthing things over time.

We have parks,and locations where people have gathered over a period of 120 years..Such as churches,old picnic spots etc.

But for the last 40 years,we've had people like you & I on the hunt for lost objects,no matter what they may be.

The last for metal detecting trips I've done,have left me with new change that is lost,and it's rare lately I find any silver anymore.

It's frustrating when a person has to plan road trips of some distance,and in hopes he can detect in some of these locations etc.

Every place is a bad location.

The trick is finding good locations to metal detect that have not been detected before.

The other factor in that location,is the garbage factor.

I swear trash was left more so on the ground,than being picked up by todays standard with trying to make a difference from 40-50 ago.

Most good detectors can avoid alot of the junk all together...But not when it's a junk pile you're on...(to much crap per square foot)

Nails,weld chunk,pull tabs..and aluminum.It only takes so many pieces of this crap per square foot to make it so frustrating that a person might as well sift the ground through a screen mesh.

I've metal detected areas that obviously had great finds in the ground,but some of these locations are so full of "shit" in the ground that gives a great signal,but lack the finds due to the fact you're un-earthing all kinds of crap make it a full time job digging up crap.

Bad locations...Locations where people drank beer,and locations that have been detected 10 + times or more.

Auuugh...
