What do you think?

Is $75 a good deal on a used Prizm II? There is one available at a local pawn shop and I am looking at nabbing my first detector!

  • Well they cost $200 new, so $75 sounds like a good used price if it's in good working order.
    A used one sold on E-bay 12 days ago for $152 as a reference.
    Analog Rules! Knobs and Switches are cool!

  • GET IT!!! It will be a good backup unit if you upgrade.

    Got it!!! Though I did receive more than a couple strange looks from my wife when I brought it in the house. (we have about six inches of snow here!!!)
    Now I can't wait for Spring!image
  • Let the fun begin ;-)
    Time to do your home work. Find old swimming holes, picnic areas, fair grounds, old school grounds-play areas, old home sites, old lots in town... You get the idea :-)

    Good Luck

  • Sounds like a good bargain.

    I'm pretty sure that's the one used by a homicide detective close to where I work. (used it to find bullets and other items at the crime scenes... so I met him at a park one day to show him it could find coins too!)

    Only 6 inches?
    Don't you own a snow shovel?

    Add four more inches of snow!! Snow shovel won't thaw the ground. Maybe a nice bonfire?? image I have been looking over some old township maps. There are two old farmsteads within a mile or so. Time to find the owner and plan for Spring. I noticed some old foundations when I was walking my dog. I have read an article on how to dig without damaging the prize and filling the hole but what is the etiquette for sharing spoils with a landowner? Thanks for your help.

    What ever works. :-|
    You will need to feel the home out. Help clean an area for a test. Weed wack, mow...You get the idea.

    Good Luck
