My find today

[NGE]

Well, I haven't been seeing much of my neighbor lately, kinda thought he had gotten a job, and that's why he hasn't been around much. How far from the truth was that statement........ He had moved in with his brother because his house was foreclosed on. Today there was a bunch of hub-bub over at his house (last notice to vacate) so I went over to see if he needed any help loading his truck, he said yes. so as I was loading stuff he was tossing to me, he tossed a detector onto the trash heap, I said "WHOA!" you don't want that? He said no, it's yours if you want it. I said sure, got any instructions, he said he didn't know where they were. I said that's okay, I'll find them online, What I got is a Orbitor Prospector 200. Never heard of it. He told me he bought it at an ACO hardware store on sale. It operates on two 9 volt batteries. Makes a super high frequency chirping beep constantly, that only my wife and the dog can hear . It has a 1/8inch jack for headphones, but with my hearing shot that didn't help either. It is a strange looking creature . It has a backlit display. and the controls that you can see, it has about an 8 inch coil, and can be length adjusted for a 6'5" user. Will have to see if I can make it work. The searchcoil is hardwired into the machine, so no interchangability.......NGE
