    Teknetics S/T

    The S/T's downfall was they e were advertised to be waterproofed but leaked like a sieve. I should have never used it in the water. but on land it was a real performer. probably one of the top ten that I have ever used.

    How old constitutes Vintage anyway?

    Vintage is really in the eye of the beholder. some wine taste better the older they get. some women look a lot better at 40 than at 20. some drivers prefer a manual shift or over an automatic. and some like the early cars over the modern ones. the vintage detectors are more sturdy. and will...

    Vintage Fisher.

    It is heavy compared to other detectors of that era. in a few weeks you may have biceps like Popeye!

    Whites "Flagship" Detector ?

    All eras of metal detecting had a flagship detector. I would say that the Whites Supreme V which was the first VLF detector deserves to be up there. once it was on the market. all of the other manufacturers clamored to develop their version of the VLF detector. which eventually became the VLF/TR.

    Wilson Detectors

    The brown Nautilus machines are not as desirable as the DMC units. and being of the bow handle type are a lot heavier and awkward to swing. so you did good to leave them.

    Wilson RC IV.

    Can you post a pic of the Wilson with the large coil? most I know have a coil that is about 7.25 inches in diameter. so a larger coil is not seen very often.

    Wilson coil compatibility?

    looking over some of my old posts...it looks like at one time I had the Wilson 710 and also a Whites 4900. I tried the 4900 coil on the Wilson. from my notes and from my recall...it worked good in all metal.....not so good in discriminate. this may help those who have a Wilson with coil...

    Wilson VLF 710

    after about 30 years I acquired another VLF 710. this one needs repair. taking it apart to double check any obvious problems I noticed that it does not have the inner foil shield that my other VLF 710 has. since I do not have both of them running I cannot compare. but wondering what advantage or...

    Prices shot up :surrender:

    I believe that the shootin up of prices for Tesoros is temporary. I have seen this before with D-Tex...Teknetics...Compass and so on. Many are getting rid of their Tesoros already they are paranoid of no company to back up their detector. to me it does not matter...

    fun with BFO

    I have used BFO's for years back in the 1970's. they have a pleasant tone. although depth is not good they seem to find things that the newer detectors seem to miss.
