Metal Detectors Super Store

Before joining the KELLYCO Test Team, Wanda's metal detecting experience began in 1994. An important part of her job was using a metal detector to locate underground water pipes, cables and sprinkler systems. That experience led her into metal detecting for coins rings and jewelry and a position at KELLYCO Metal Detector Superstore answering telephones and writing customer orders.

When an opening became available in customer sales, Wanda applied and secured the position based upon her previous detecting experience. On-the-job training to learn everything possible about each detector offered for sale by KELLYCO was a chore, but learning under the experts on the KELLYCO Test Team paid off and Wanda became certified as a metal detector expert.

Wanda's Expert Opinion

"I took the Quattro straight from the box and right onto the beach (Daytona). The first two items I dug were 2005 brand spanking new dimes. I thought - oh great that is what this detector is going to do is pick up all new coins. I was a little discouraged at first and not to mention that there were many on lookers. So, I moved under a stair ramp that was closed (due to hurricane damage). I could tell that someone had been sitting in the sand under the stairs. The first signal I got was a nice deep tone like pull tab or nickel. Hoping for gold, lo and behold there it was at 11 1/2 inches down a beautiful 14 kt gold nugget ring. I did a little jumping dance for myself and thought I should immediately call and report to KELLYCO, then it occurred to me that there could more jewelry. I began swinging again and pulled out a 1916 barber dime at approx 17" deep. Of course I didn't know then that is was a 1916, I just knew it was silver. Right next to that almost in the same darn hole was a 1943 silver quarter at approximately 15". Needless to say, I was ecstatic at that point. I continued hunting with a great big grin on my face!"

"I metal detect mostly for rings and jewelry. Whatever coins I find are a bonus but I love finding gold rings, gold chains and gold medals. I have a pretty large collection of gold jewelry and I found a number of valuable rings with the Land Star. With discrimination and the three-tone audio plus the notch makes it an easy detector to find gold jewelry."

"Most of my friends and customers know that I love metal detecting for coins, necklaces, bracelets, rings and jewelry of all kinds, and I do enjoy digging up coins, the older the better. I chose to test the Whites IDX Pro Metal Detector mainly because of the large meter with the easy-to-read display. I guess I've gotten spoiled. I like to know what's in the ground before I start digging. I also like metal detectors that are very automatic and easy-to-use."

"The IDX Pro is a fun metal metal detector. The Target ID meter displayed the targets each time and there was no question, what was in the ground was on the meter. Only 3 knobs, both with factory pre-set indicators had me operating the detector in less than a minute. Took out every piece of junk and I found some very old coins to add to my coin box!"

"Would I recommend this detector?, Absolutely YES! There's so much value when buying the IDX Pro, now especially since it comes with the very powerful Blue Max 950 Search coil, the same coil used on Whites more expensive DFX and XLT metal detectors."

Wanda went to the beach this past weekend with the Infinium and reports that the detector was very well balanced, easy to use and purred like a kitten in the salt water. "Oh my goodness, this detector really goes deep. I've found pennies and nickels 12-13" deep and quarters slightly deeper. Set discriminator in low then went into lock. Worked fine in either setting."

In the water and on the beach the coil remained parallel to the ground. I thought it might push up when I went into deeper water, but it stayed right on the ground.

I wish I could have stayed longer, but the family was ready to go home. I'm taking the Infinium to a fresh water lake next time so I can see if there is any difference in salt or fresh water. My advice "Infinium is not only an excellent all-around detector but I was amazed at the depth I found coins. I rate this detector as AN EXCELLENT BUY FOR YOUR DOLLARS!"

Customer Comments

The service by your representatives Raul and Wanda was excellent. A Co-worker of mine asked me about metal detecting. I replied, "great fun!" My friend should be ordering a Garrett 550 pretty soon. I gave him your web address. I enjoy promoting Kellyco to those who stop to use it.

It is refreshing to order from someone that handled my order without a hassle. She (Wanda) was knowledgeable of the detector I wanted. She checked to make sure there was one in the warehouse and completed my order. I received confirmation by e-mail which is a rare experience these days. Sincerely,
