I bought an old White's Goldmaster 66TR in 2008 from a guy for $20. :laughing7:

Hunted with it for 2 years (built some muscles, LOL), and turned around and sold on Ebay in 2010 for $180. It was just like the one pictured here.

Nice trip down memory lane Terry. I still have a Fisher 441 in working shape and a Gardiner 190C from the old days. Also a Compass
Gold Scanner Pro from more recent times.

I have my grandfather's Goldmaster 66TR. He sure found a LOT of stuff with it back in the 70's. I haven't used it because it feels like swinging a concrete block even without the batteries in it (and it takes a bunch of them).
