You guys are very entertaining to watch and listen to. I just recently got my son the Vanquish 540 ( his first detector) and am working along side him on getting used to it as I have been using a Equinox 800 for a while myself. I want to have a good working knowledge of the machine before I leave his side and let him build his own confidence with it. You earned a subscriber today and I look forward to more of your content. Thank you both!
