I wonder what he was swinging. You can bet there's a detector manufacturer out there pushing him to break his decision to renmain anonymous.

He stated that he had spent $6500 with some upgrades for his detector. I would guess it is a Minelab GPX 5000 with a few accesories. He also made a comment that his wife kept nagging him about when he was going to pay for that thing. I guess he showed her, LOL
