Hi everyone, I need help. I am 40 years into detecting. My dad bought me my first when I was 8 years old. I want to find a machine like I had but cannot find any pictures of it. I was thinking that someone here might be able to help if I describe it.
The year would have been around 1970, the machine came from Sears. The control box was gray as was the coil. It whined at all times until you passed it over metal. Im pretty sure it was a kids model. That is my best recollection of the machine. I dont think it even had a descriminator, just all metal mode. My fondest memory of that machine was when my dad had an all night, outdoor poker tournament. I went out the next day and detected around all the sleeping drunks in the grass and got rich finding dropped coins. The spot under the picnic table was the best. I was hooked from that day on.
