I scored 6 of them for $3 apiece a few months ago. You have done a whole bunch better.
Congrats,
Rich

Hey, do a favor for us nostalgia buffs: See what year/month the first metal detector ads started to appear in them. Like, perhaps on a page within the mag, or perhaps in the classifieds in the rear ("find buried treasure!", etc...) I'd just be curious. I saw a few old mags of that type in the past ("True West", etc...) and it seems to me that the earliest of the ads started appearing in the mid 1950s, at the earliest. But see, if you can, if any earlier ads appear, and what brands/types those were. thanx.

Hi Tom,
I did take a look, and prior to July of 53, there were ads for Geiger counters and mineral lights. But in July 0f 53 there was a new ad for " mineral detector ". I started a post to see what others might have... here's the link:
