A member can help you, so don't go ordering one from overseas before he sees this and makes contact.

You'll have it in a couple of days.

Hi good to go.

Those are US dollars.

Then there is shipping from the US, which can be quite expensive. Contact Kellyco and ask them.

When it arrives here, there is a customs charge.

Then, if the value is over $400 (I think) you pay GST. I am unsure if you pay GST on just the value of the item, or the total cost of the item and shipping. and the customs charge. You need to enquire.

When you know the total cost, then get hold of Robert . I reckon it would be cheaper to get it here, albeit maybe without as much free stuff - most of which you wouldn't use anyway.

Hi Goog to go - If you want a Fisher I would thoroughly recommend dealing with Robert - a nicer guy you could not wish to meet. My son and I pad for our Fishers one day and we had them the next...you simply cannot do better than that. He is on this site under 'rgmcbrid'

Hi good to go and wellcome to the forum...yes robert is the one to deal with.....The F2 is a great coin/relic detector,madsonic in temuka uses one as do i and have found plenty with it...i hunt in ashburton almost every second weekend on the sunday after i drop my son off...i usually hunt the domain...may see you there some time.
If you are after a machine for gold as well then i would suggest the goldbug...it cost a bit more but is well worth it...

Robert is no longer in methvin he is further south now but still gives the same great service

Cheers
Chris

I purchased an F4 off robert mainly because of what I thought, the price was right. I buy many things overseas but the overall deal was better from robert and the backup is in this country. Cheers Mike.

Good choice GTG, and a superb guy to deal with. Yes, I got my Fisher from him too!!

Should you ever feel like making the journey on a Sunday evening, a few of us meet together for detecting chat on the last Sunday of the month at around 7.30 in Christchurch.
Most of the Christchurch guys could give you the venue details and directions if you wanted to pop in.
Bring any finds along, or just bring yourself.






My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

i think cematary's would be very much fround on...i have often wanted to travel the old west in USA and come across an old burial spot of someone that might have been buried with there guns or something like that,but to go into an accual grave yard i think is a bit much personally ..lol

that might not be so bad if it isnt used anymore...specially if it is in an out of the way area with no prying eyes..lol..

.but not the graves..lol..they may call you a grave robber and you be in big trubble..lol...

.i think a few of us have thought of grave yards but dont know anyone that has accually tried it.

I thought you had already contacted Robert.

If you want a really cheap detector, you could probably spend less money than this one will cost you. And you won't have to spend very much time digging targets, because you won't be finding many.

Get the right tool for the job.
