Thought everyone would get a kick out of these. Maybe even used one of these babies! State of the art metal detectors from the mid 1970's. I want one!

Wow! I know this thread is OLD, but I am so thankful that I finally found a picture of my FIRST detector! TY CyberSage for posting these!
My first detector (Christmas present- BEFORE? '77) was the $19.95 unit on bottom-left of page. It was a POJ, BUT! Christmas Day I went out into our front yard and found a 1907 Indian Head penny- that I dug with one of Mom's tablespoons! (Sorry Global Warming fans- the ground wasn't frozen). I used it for years, then lost it (probably) in the shuffle when my parents divorced. My second one was a Sears-branded White's 5000 CM (looked like the $299.50 one on the same page! I still have it, and it even works, but now I use a Simplex+.
Thanks again for the memories!
