LB,

Thanks for some memories with this thread. Wish I had kept one or more of my "older" detectors. Swung my first one way back in 1966.

Oldest Tesoro I have is an original SS from 1983, while it isn't exactly stock, still finds a goodie now and then when I use it.

I have a Myty Myte that is new in the box. A well known swinger who frequented organized hunts back in 80's won thousands of dollars swinging one of these $69 detectors. Mine works, has the original headphones also.

Oldest detector in my stable is a 1974 "Relic King" that came off our assembly line. Hard to find batteries for that dude now, but it still works also.

Since 1980, no matter what "brand/model" I migrated to, I find that I always returned to Tesoro. That original SS mentioned above was the second SS off the assembly line and was used for a field test way back when. My reason for using the Tesoro line is that I seem to find more goodies and less trash when I'm holding some model of this brand.

Thanks again for some good memories.

Thanks for the thread. I started one very similar back a year or two ago and it ran a long time.

It was great seeing all those neat old vintage machines again.

I'll post some pictures of my oldest detector if I get the time. It's a 1956 homebrew BFO.

Those were the days!

Also, at that site you posted there's a FREE STUFF website link to get free software. That avast real-time virus protection is GREAT! I've been using it for about two months now and it has saved my bacon many times. It's great! Just remember to request the free 1-year key.
