People made fun of us, growing up because this was just a start out machine for kids. My dad bought us one when we were say around 10-11 years old. Broken_detector, and I are twins so as you can imagine it’s hard to share a detector. Dad bought it because he knew that there was a Civil War site “somewhere” on our property. This little detector was the first one to ever find a Civil War bullet in my life, and on our property. I still remember that day 27-28 years ago today. I was walking through our front field, and got a loud hit on that old machine and used the old crappy pinpoint button on it, and lo and behold a .69 caliber bullet rolled into the hole. I was so excited I ran barefooted 5 acres or so back to the chicken houses dad was in, into the chicken house “ if anyone’s ever ran a chicken farm they know chicken houses are full of chicken poop no matter how old they are”, but I didn’t care I was just too excited. I showed dad the bullet, and he was just as excited as I was. That year for Christmas was the year he bought us both Whites Classic ID’s. We literally smoked that property with them detectors. I still have to say to this day if I could find me another Classic ID I’d buy it just for how accurate it was at Civil War sites. Here’s a photo of the first detector we had. Granted dad had the original Whites Coinmaster 6000 I believe that’s what it was. He did great with it too, especially with deep signals.
