Use your Metal Detector on Halloween?
Tonight the ghosts and goblins roam the streets on Halloween night in search of the one elusive house that gives out full size candy bars! Dads follow aimlessly behind carrying flash lights and parts of the kids costume as they remove them so they can run even faster to the next house. We Dads pilfer through the candy bag and grab a quick laffy taffy snack to tide us over on the long trip. Moms hand out treats at the door to all the princesses and pirates that venture up in search of sugar treats. They help the one kid that has a ripped candy bag from a prior fall but is still hard at work gathering more loot.
We as metal detectorist have a great tool to ease Mom's mind of candy tampering. We can simply sweep the bag of candy with our metal detector and test for any metal object foul play. Be sure to turn your discrimination all the way down so we can hear anything that might have found its way in the bag. Not to mention we can convince mom how handy a good metal detector is to have around and maybe its time for an even better one! (Good luck with that part)
Enjoy the time with the kiddos tonight and be safe from BBH Metal Detectors!

New XP Deus MI-6 Pin Pointer is out and is impressive!
The XP Deus MI-6 Pin Pointer is one amazing pin pointer and doing very well in the field!
The ability to hear your targets through the headphones give it a real advantage over traditional pin pointers. Makes it much easier to narrow down the desired target over trash much faster.
The new research mode allows you to locate it as well if you lose it in the field. No more walking around aimlessly looking for a lost pin pointer.
Another MAJOR advantage of the MI-6 is that it has no interference or cross talk with the XP Deus itself. Other pin pin pointer allow interfere with your detector to some degree. Not the MI-6!
If you have any questions about them or anything else we sell always feel free to call or shoot us an email. Be glad to help in any way!

The Garrett At Max reduces subtle ground responses, the Automatic Ground Balance Window smooths detector audio and allows the user to hear faint targets that otherwise would NEVER be heard!
