Hello out there, my name is Doug, I am new to this site. I have had a metal detector for years but used it little. I even have an antique from around 1970 that I bought from D-Tex here in greater Dallas. It is the "Tiny Tex" and I actually found stuff with it!
Back in the mid to late 1980s I bought a Bounty Hunter that I still have, and moments ago I replaced the batteries, it appears to operate perfectly. What I want to know is, is that Big Bud at all relevant to the hobby anymore? When I bought it, it was rather expensive, I was living in Houston at the time and used it very little. Detected a playground at an old schoolyard in Sugarland, Texas, and find a few wheat pennies, but that was about it. The choicest old home foundations and such were to be found in the "hood" and I didn't really want to detect there. Maybe with a security detail? Ha.
Anyway, I ask the membership if the Big Bud is adequate these days, or are there vastly superior products available for not a lot of money. Thanks!
