Sourdough Scott Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 My 1st Detector was a Heath kit and radio shack I got for a 2 for 1 deal as a kid at a yard sale. From hard earned money from mowing lawns too. And raking pine needles, shoveling snow, picking up dog sausages. Then acquired a old whites goldmaster. Then a whites spectrum. Then after the dredging moratorium started. I wanted to learning detecting for gold. Got a new whites goldmaster. But that didn't fill my need to find bigger pieces of gold that I was used too from dredging. So I saved and was able to get a GPX 5000. And was able to learn the ropes from some experienced people. Then had a sdc 2300 for a spell. Then got the 7000. Also have the xp deus and makro gold racer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulito Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 2010 Borrowed bounty hunter, immediately got an ACE 250, found clad for 6 months. fazed out on detecting for a couple years. 2014 got an MXT pro to find nuggets, maybe hunt relics. I found one nugget, then spent 1000's of hours relic hunting and loving every minute of it! Still want to find some more nuggets! ? Edit: I may get a Deus someday, or AT pro at least, change it up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lunn Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 My first metal detector was a Heathkit that my brother and I built in the 1960's. We used a soldering iron to assemble the circuit board and wrapped the wire for the two "tuned" coils that were electronically balanced by a Wheatstone bridge type circuit. Silver coins were easy to find at the beach. This was when a pack of baseball cards cost 5 cents. I also found a diamond ring and was able to return it to the lady who lost it by posting a notice at the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 My first detector was a Fisher CZ-5 I bought new in the early 90s. I've bought and sold quite a few since then. Trying to cut down on the arsenal but good deals keep popping up. I think Iike to buy and sell detectors almost as much as using them.
