I am selling my Ground Hawk metal detector. For those not familar with this detector each one was hand built and tuned by its designer and manufacturer. Since each one is hand built, tuned and tested these are pretty rare machines. The detector was designed to be great at one thing - relic hunting.
Here is a statement from the manufacturer about this machine ....
"Ground Hawk was established in 1982. We have been handcrafted each detector one by one to its maximum performance. At Ground Hawk we are to please, and you are also when it comes to performance. Ground Hawk is different from the rest, why? The reason is that most detectors on the market are designed for coin hunting, yet they are used for relic hunting. Most people don't know that all detectors are not suited for relic hunting. Coin detectors sample from their maximum discrimination even in low range and rejects to soil mineral content harshly, and thus rejecting deeper brass buttons, firing caps. Ground Hawk's enhanced circuitry will enable you to find deeper buttons, firing caps and relics. The Ground Hawk has the ability to smoothly detect deep targets. Most machines on the market have a micro processed sound system, so that the audio is pulsed. Ground Hawk has smooth audio, with a separate threshold control. This feature will allow you to scan wider and to analyze targets better. This also allows you to speed hunt in the search of a new relic site. The Ground Hawk has an easy to read tuning meter. Tuning to the ground mineral content will allow all the good deep targets to be heard. And the sensitivity control will enable you to adjust for various interference such as an AC power line or static."
This is the rarer model with the lock/unlock switch for those familar with these machines. The detector is in great shape and I would give it a 9 or even 9.5 out of 10. I take Paypal or postal money orders (no additional fees for paypal and I can take credit cards thru paypal. The price is $225 which includes shipping to the lower 48. Here are a few pictures ...
