JCR Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Please give us a run down on it's capabilities in an experienced operator's hands. (now that you are not quite a kiid anymore😉) It will be good to realize how far equipment has come from those pioneer machines. I wish I could get my D Tex BFO back to operating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The detector will not pick up any small iron and foil, but I found coins and gold jewelry with it. To turn it on you just plug the headphones in. You use the coil knob (built in) to adjust it to the ground, then you fine tune the sound using the knob on the body. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my first detector in 1972. A White's Coinmaster III. I remember the Metrotech. At the time it was between that detector, my White's and a Relco as I recall. I remember looking at Gardiner detectors but they had giant search coils and that scared me off. In the end my mother told me to buy the White's with my paper route money and she invested $50.00 of her own money since I was short of the funds. She was my number one detecting partner well into her 80's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom is always right. She was a very wise Lady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
