Default MP detectors

Hello everyone, I was looking at the Kellyco website at all the metal detectors out there and I really like the sound of the MP3 pro, MPX and the MPX pro, they seem to be easy to use, have good depth and are lightweight and reasonably priced. However I havent heard of this maker before and I cant find it anywhere other then Kellyco. Just wondering if anyone here has one and if they like them. Some input could be great as I think Im going to get a new detector with the stimulas check coming soon. Kellyco definatly has some good deals. Thanks G-girl

Sorry can't help, like you I have never heard of them.
Speak to Kellyco and tell them what you need and they can steer you towards the right detector for yourpurposes.

My wife purchased a detector for me from Kellyco. She called them on the phone and spoke to some one there to help her pick out the right machine. They highly recommended the MPx as a good starter machine since I have never used one before. I have the machine sitting here but unfortunatley I can't tell you how it works since the weather here in northern Minnesota hasn't improved enough to allow md-ing yet. In all of the reports I have read I have not read anything negative about them. It appears that they are comparable to the others.

Thanks Anne and Roadking, I called Kellyco and they told me that the MP detectors are comparible to the tracker IV that I already have,( I have an old whites 6000 also but I find it bulky and confusing) So he suggests that I go with the Garrett Ace 250 lightweight and easy to use so when Uncle sams gift comes in I might just be ordering myself one

The detectors mentioned are off brand models. Its best to look at a name brand detector like the Ace 250 or the F2. Either would be a big upgrade from the Tracker you now have. If you need anymore help or info please let me know.

Lol x's 10!!! JW IS a hoot!! hahahahaha!!!! Whenever he pops his head in my office I know there's going to be trouble. Lol!!

The ACE 250 is pretty popular 'round these parts so you can't go wrong there! The Fisher F2 is also getting some really really really really really really good reviews... and it's even a smidge cheaper (and comes with TWO coils). James knows what he's talkin' about.

And to think I remember when he got his first Titan... Look at him go!
