Kellyco..
I have also had some problems with Kellyco.It used to be the detector super store but now a lot of their detectors are trash(Trident,beachmagnum,etc) Unless I start hearing more positive reports I have blacklisted Kellco for about 5 years now,It is regreetable how the accountants can screw up a piece of american history,

people, read about this fact. China eats evebody in conUS

I saw a guy Saturday using what he said was a so called fake detector--it was a whites DFX--I didn't use the detector,but couldn't see any difference in appearance to an original--he was digging coins at about 6 to 8 inches--he claims to have paid $375 for the detector brand new in the box--I find it hard to believe,but if this is true,it's bad news for american detectors!--may be the end of the road for them--a lot of people say that anything made in china isn't any good, but why is "WALMART" so rich--take everything out of walmart's that is made in china and they would "out of business" instantly!
I would buy a Whites made in Sweet Home before I would buy Minelab. Period.

Remember when Walmart boasted about only selling USA made products?
Everywhere you looks "Made in China", once upon a time it was all made in Japan.
China has put many US and worldwide workers out of work. Now those workers are working new jobs, if they can find one for a lot less money.
Most jobs now seem to be temporary positions or pay mininum wage or slightly above. If you look at this situation, many people can no longer afford to buy the more expensive US made products. The solution, have the products made in China at dirt cheap labor costs so the American people can buy them. Funny thing happening, prices are going up slowly on Chinese made products, eventually the Americans will not be able to afford them either. So does that mean the Chinese people will suffer joblessness to another country with even cheaper labor? I hear the Pygmies in Burma are organizing to build small cars, first one coming out will be named Cannible. They don't deal in cash, Chinese people taste pretty good to them............Comment

I used to (try to) engage in the Explorer Forum on Findmall.com but finally realized that there were Kellyco ( and other ) stooges that were spreading false and grossly exaggerated information. One of the main things was in regards to coils - last year, it was HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED you should buy the Explorer SE Pro Coil (more depth, more separation at $199.00) I tried it and I could see no difference over the stock coil. This year, it is the SEF Butterfly coils that are available for mnany detectors. I won't mention any names but there is one prominent author/reviewer that lurks about spreading extreme falsehoods on Minelab products. DO NOT TAKE ANY ADVICE FROM HIM!!!Originally posted by fitz View PostI have had two bad run ins with this company and have not even had an order filled yet.

I also posted on another forum..
I posted this same concern on another Treasure forum. They also are Kelly stooges. They called me a names and said I was some guy who posted lies about Kellyco all over the web every few months. They were very worried that I would get them in trouble with Kellyco and that my post should be removed. I really only wanted to know if other people had other resources and could point me to a seller who was more honest. I even got emails where people I don't know called me names and one guy threatened me! Also my web site got hacked and loaded a virus on anybody that went to it! Crazy stuff and all because I just wanted to spend about $4000.00 dollars on gear.......

Watch out for "Tag Teams"!
That is unfortunate! I quit because: 1. The members sound like they do most of their detecting from an armchair and 2. They grossly exaggerate virtually everthing they discuss. What is needed are forums that are funded solely by members instead of dealers and other entrepreneurs! Watch out for "tag teams' that are always verbally wiping each other's noses while simultaniosely slobering all over each other! It's pathetic!Comment

I buy NOTHING from Kellyco!

Check it out! Some, of course, are supplied by 3rd party vendors - read their policies first before ordering! Ebay can be very safe if Paypal is used. Last summer, when everyone in the Explorer Forum, was moaning about how bad the T2 was, I bought a brand new T2 for $400. on eBay from a guy that said he didn't like it (probably from listening to stooges in the forums!). Now it is virtually the hottest piece out there besides, maybe, the TDI! Last tip: I gave Amazon $79. at the beginning of the year for membership in Amazon Prime - It is a deal! Free ( TWO DAY) shipping on most items, with no minimum and overnight shipping for only $4.99! The Omega would be free two day shipping for me!!Comment

a few days ago a neighbor brought over a 2 knob detector for repairs(the speaker had fallen out) I mentioned that it was probly 20 years old but He swore he,d just paid 90$ for it last Year.
I was kind of skeptical,and told Him the only dealer I knew of that Might sell such trash was Smellyco/oddbark.
Sure Enough
Is this the same Stu aurebach who used to detect with Charles Garrett,and Roy Lagel?
Do You suppose Charles even sends Christmas cards to Him Anymore?

I remember back in the early days of Kellycoke, those fantastic treasure hunting trips you could sign up for and find gold and silver treasure. That was soooo cool. Loved their catalogs and newsletters.....never bought from them as I had a local dealer that I was buying from, who gave me better prices, so I could even resell them.
Anyways, Stu was the man.........then I was totally disillusioned when I found out he and his crew seeded the hunt sites with reales and doubloons etc. That's when I learned the company was all hype.Comment

The site seems to be down - Error 404.Originally posted by wfbwfb1 View Post
I used the whois lookup service to get some more details, and it appears the expiration date is 04 May 2015. Either the site has just gone inactive, or there's a temporary technical problem.Comment
