That's cool. My uncle has a 1980 Bounty Hunter Red Baron 10 and still does very well for himself. Old doesn't really mean outdated.

Those old Red Baron's were good detectors back in the day. I wouldn't seriously hunt an area today with one unless I went back through it with a modern detector. Try walking and hunting behind your uncle. :laughing7:

That one is in really nice shape !!! They were state of the art back then and like swinging a concrete block. No wonder why my shoulders are shot !!! Very poor ergonomics on them and would tire you out quick. That video makes me know I'm old now. Thanks !

These lunch box detectors are still good for tot lots being most stuff ain't that deep and there's not a lot of ground to cover. They are also more compact and easier to use in tight spots. I don't recommend them for field hunts...lol
