1976ish CScope BFO50
1977ish CScope IB100

Long gap of no detecting

2002 White's Classic III
2003 White's DFX
2007 Fisher F75

I still have the last 4, althought the CScope is next to useless now (thinking back it probably was when it was new as well).

C scope 660
Minelab something ?
Minelab Quattro  (which i love)

The Quattro is showing signs of age now but my finds have improved probably 100% with it. If I do get a new one I will probably get a explorer 2 (Possibly). I don,t find the Minelab,s heavy and love my Quattro. I might even keep it as a backup machine.

My first machine was a Micronta that my mother brought beck from holiday for me, total rubish but it gave me the bug, that was in 1975. I quickly followed that with:-
whites beachcomber 5
whites coinmaster 5
compass (something) lovely machine
fisher 1265x, found loads
bounty hunter
Tessorro eldorado, another lovely machine
whites spectrum (I'm still confused)
fieldmaster, it did what it said on the box
Minelab sovereign, x3
and now I have a garrett seahunterII, still have a sovereign elit and the Etrac....

The old fishing saying that "New tackle catches more fishermen than fish" i think might apply to me.

C-Scope in the late 1970s. No idea what it was but found a lot with it for what it was. Probably more stuff still in the ground in those halcyon days.

C Scope 660. Found more wit this than anything else.

Minelab Sovereign.   Didn't have it long enough to form an opinion.

Minelab Quattro.  First impressions are good although I'm already looking for something new.
