Anyway, I love this site.
hello from the bottom of my Brittany in France

I started out in the 1980's , first machine a Garret ground Hog and then new machines up until 2015 when age and health forced me to stop. I come on site each day to help relive the memories, don't stop until you are forced to, I wish at times that I had persevered longer. I hired a sdc2300 a short time ago and went out with one of my boys for a few days but that will be the last time.

Cheers

First post. Read posts regularly and thought at least sign-up to give a thumbs up once in a while and hope to get out there again when life gives me break before I break.

Got a GEB5000 somewhere in a box. An exciting purchase by my dad many years ago. Not much usage, a couple of amateurish adventures to Kalgoorlie and around some old sites outside Perth. Memories better than the finds.

First detector was actually one my dad made from an old electronics magazine back in the 70s. Looked better than performed.  Shaft fashioned out of a broomstick with a "folded" aluminum control box (including fly-screen speaker cover) and a wooden cross frame for the coils exposed windings. Painted in bright yellow. Think may have control-box somewhere. If I find I will post a pic.

Appreciate the forum and it's sociable members. Thanks.
