“We are going to the beach this summer so I purchased some metal detectors for the kids to explore with”, said Sue Johnson of Texas. “They’ve been practicing at our local park where they have found tons of quarters, dimes and nickels that have spilled out of the pockets of park goers.”

Sue Johnson bought her Garrett metal detector off Ebay, the popular online auction website. “I just wanted to find a great deal on a quality metal detector”, explained Johnson. “I did my research and found out the Garrett ACE 250 was perfect for my kids.”
