Some oldies. The one second from the right is what I cut my teeth on 44 years ago.

Get this and you can walk, again, down memory lane.

Another cool old add!
Really neat. It's interesting to see the model that you started out with, Uncle Willy.
Thanks for sharing
Hey, dahut, I clicked on that add link that you included. No bull, that is THE style of mine detector that I originally trained with back in the eighties as a combat engineer in the U.S. Army. I forget the model number designation(nomenclature), but man, that's the one. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. That is a blast from the past for me. I have absolutely no intention of buying that mine detector off of e-bay, but, word to the wise, if anyone out there is planning on getting one, good luck on getting batteries for it. Haven't been produced in years.
Thanks again guys!
Happy Hunting!

They have a new detector for the Military. Don't know if it's in production yet but it displays a 3-D image of what's in the ground. Be great to have that on a detector.

Yeah that's an old Metrotech, the primo detector of its day. They are still in business but only make commercial detectors now.
