fredmason Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 1980, garret deepseeker ads vlf/tr....I was going to find pounds of gold...instead I found pounds of square nails and hotrocks! I did find a bunch of coins once I learned about reverse discrimination... fred 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northeast Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Well it's a bit embarrassing...but Minelab GPZ 7000 and SDC 2300 bought on the same day. Might seem like overkill to have started with the best but glad I did. April 2016. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swegin Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Whites V-Sat Goldmaster still use it and a GP 3000 still finds gold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norvic Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 79 Bounty Hunter RB7, AU dealers had sold out all Deepseekers & 6000Ds. On defragment of brain total number around 30 to date, all brands. Most productive A2B, GM2 and Mls PIs in that order, but the Zs getting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 1972 White's Coinmaster IV T/R, just before disc was invented. No ground balance either. Still found a lot of silver with that detector though because there was lots of silver to find back then! I have a list on my profile of 84 detectors I have used and I know I have forgot a few. Owning a detector shop it was just part of the gig for me for many years and old habits die hard. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I hate to admit it, but when I first learned that gold nuggets could be found with a metal detector, I rushed to the nearest Radio Shack and bought their cheapest model; I didn't have it long before I realized that what I really needed was a Fisher Gold Bug 2. Since then I've owned over a dozen detectors that I can think of. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
