Recently retired to my home state of WA after 26 years in the Army & Coast Guard.
My first detector was a Garrett Ghostowner that I bought from Roy Lagal in Lewiston ID in 1974. We lived in an old homestead/former trading post in Clarkston WA and I found all sorts of neat old stuff; not sure where it is now. In 1980 I traded a bunch of silver coins I had found and added a little cash for a Garrett Master Hunter Deepseeker. Didn't have a chance to use it much before our military adventure began.
The other day I was going through some boxes and found the Ghostowner and Deepseeker and thought about putting them back to work. The Ghostowner is dead (maybe one to many moves) and the Deepseeker doesn't seem to be working right... may need to send it off.
I found a good used Xterra 70 with a stock 9" Concentric Coil but hoping to add a DD coil to it soon.
Looking forward to searching the site & learning my new machine and seeing what has changed in the hobby of detecting in last 30 years.
