Ridge Runner Posted November 27, 2020 Author Share Posted November 27, 2020 Alexander Enterprise was the guy I got my White’s 66 TR before I came a dealer myself. Has name was Jim Alexander . Later Jim moved out to Az. having something to do with mining and that’s the last I know. This all took place around 72 and it’s been a lot of water has run under the bridge.

Just think how many boxes of magazines you have stashed away, as I seen your name on the shipping label going all the way back to 1971/2, so I suspect you have 40+ yrs, maybe 45 of being a dedicated TH'er and magazine reader. Heck, I imagine these are more rare than the Playboy of the time. Great post and pics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrbeatty Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 A 1985 Gem and Treasure Hunter (later Gold Gem and Treasure) from Australia. The magazine had just been purchased by a new Australian detector company called Minelab Electronic industries. The Goldseeker 15000 was being tested at the time by a young bearded bloke called Reg Wilson, yet not a single Minelab product appears anywhere. There is an advertorial for the new Whites GM6100D and others for Bounty Hunter, Tesoro and the Garrett A2B Groundhog. These were also the days when your first colour could well be too heavy to comfortably carry around 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you would not left any gold for me. JR the Whites 6100 GoldMaster was great to see again that was the first Detector I bought for me. The Garrett ADS was my hand me down from the wife that I got for her new. She hated it and I had to get her a Whites 6000 but it got me away from dredging into detecting . Gerry those early top line detector cost less than a good coil these day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon: the glory days are only ever as far away as the next patch of new ground. You make your own glory days. The important thing is to keep looking for new ground. The safe old familiar flogged areas are, sadly, never going to be the stuff that dreams are made of. 😞 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridge Runner Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Gerry When I bought my first White’s I seen the ad in a Treasure Magazine and had a local dealer. I’ve given away so many and a guy at church unloaded Lots on me . I did have some I think went back to 66 and one of the last is 68. You the nugget hunter and I was always the coin hunter for years.
