Looks like a White's detector?

Looks like a White's detector?

Definitely, but with the Association and John/Gene Ballinger endorsement. Pretty cool...

We sure have come a long ways since those days!

We sure have come a long ways since those days!

No doubt... it's funny to think about, but this is from over 50 years ago... we're old!

Very cool. I still have my Whites 6000Di Pro. Gotta get it out swinging sometime and let it sprain my wrist. Lol

Cool, does it power up?

Same battery trays my 6000 had. 14 AA batteries!

Always Cool seeing those old detectors 😎

Could have swore I had a picture of John and Gene together at one point...

Those old detectors are neat to look at. Someone from my club just gave me a late 1960's model Jetco Gold Star that I put in my man cave room along with a 1976 Brinkman Treasure sensor 4000 that I picked up at an estate sale for a $1.00 ! Nothing like vintage detectors to go along with the vintage items that we find. And my doctor said to go buy a weight set ! Who needs weights with detectors like that !
