Trade #4: The Metal Detector

Well folks, here's the story of Trade #4!


Amy's worst fears came true! 

There was no one else available to make the last minute trade with me. 
Since Amy is my wife, I made her take the captains seat 
(the only other seat) in The Trade Mobile.  


And we're on the road again! 

And no, I did not stand in the middle of the highway Grandma! 

I actually strapped a chair to the grill and sat in it while we were going 70! 
Just kidding! Winning! I am just that good at snapping pics :)


Any idea where we are headed yet?


Alright, the picture says it all
We headed East and took historic Route 66 


And the winner is Claremore, Oklahoma! 
That sure was a long, loud, and bumpy ride!


This is Drew

And this has to be the coolest trade yet!
I'm starting to notice I say that with every new trade I make

Drew found me on Craigslist and said HE HAD TO HAVE the oven. He and his family go camping A LOT! This was a no brainer that he needed this oven. I had received a lot of offers from several people for the oven, but they just did not seem right.

For example, I didn't feel right taking something stolen. Second, I didn't like the idea of making a trade for something that was illegal. And lastly, I didn't like the idea of trading for something that would kill me, being that I did not know how to properly operate it. 

After a lot of brainstorming, Drew presented me with the idea of the metal detector; A Bounty Hunter Lone Star to be exact. Nearly a $200 metal detector that has had great reviews and has beaten out many top of the line MDs.

There was ONE BIG problem, he had to convince his son to let it go. Seeing that it was going to benefit the family, his son took one for the team. To be honest, his son didn't t use it very much or have any crazy finds. 


This is a must have! 

I honestly wish I could keep it. 

I had a metal detector when I was a kid and had so much fun with it. I was always finding little random things. I obviously did not find anything huge and valuable, seeing that I am trying to trade myself out of debt ;) 

I take that back, I did find a ladies ring she had lost in our front yard, though I did not get to keep it :( This is perfect for the beach or lake side, and great for historical lots. This metal detector ranks up there with all the professional models! Treat yourself and go get your very first Bounty Hunter. You might just find yourself a new hobby!

Don't forget about the Hiding Dirty Contest! 

You have exactly one week to find him

In one of the pictures in this post and email me at Trademeoutofdebt@gmail.com

 Make sure you tell me where you found him!

We will announce the winner after 5PM CST on May 5th. The contest will close at 11:59PM CST on May 4th.  We have to be resourceful this go around and use something we already have as a prize.
(Layoffs make you do these sorts of things!) So, the one and only prize for finding Dirty this go 'round is a $25 gift card to AMC theaters. Not sure if anyone outside of Oklahoma has an AMC, so I am sorry ahead of time if that is the case. I would still love to hear from you though! You can use it to take your honey on a date, with enough left over for a popcorn and drink (if you share!).

Happy hunting!
