I know that I'm not what you expected. My Tek is a 9000, around thirty years old. It was ahead of its time then and still finds silver. I am trying to find a coil adapter so that I can use the old 6000 series White's coils with it. I had one but I lost it. I also have a White's XLT, but I prefer my old Tek.

That is pretty cool using a thirty year old one, you must be a pro. Sorry to just now respond, but I haven't been online for awhile, and I just now read your post. I am glad to see someone else sign up to the Teknetics group!

I have a newer XLT that I seldom use because I know my old Tek. I don't have to watch the meter because it has the first audio discrimination ever put in a detector. It is far better than what they have now. It about drove me crazy at first, but suddenly it made sense. It may not go as deep as the new detectors, but I still find silver now and then. I met George Payne, the founder of Teknetics at a hunt in Oklahoma. He invented the target ID for Whites and the audio descrimination for Tek. I had him take it back to the factory with him and convert it to a hip-mount. The shaft is so light that I can swing it all day without getting tired and I'm 64 years old. I wish that I could afford a new Tek, but I doubt it I ever will be able to. I just hope my 9000 lasts as long as I do. It uses 14 AA batteries but they last for months. I usually change them before they are dead because I can't believe that they are lasting so long.

I finally got my Army pension and bought a new Teknetics detector. It's the G2. If it is half as good as my old one, I will be very happy.
