- Minelab Vanquish 340, Tesoro Silver uMax, Compadre, and BH Tracker IV.
Ex: White's Spectrum XLT, Tesoro Cutlass II Umax, and that circa late 70's red handled junk from RadioShack that started it.
in 1965 the gov made started making clad (silver bonded to a copper core).I could be wrong about the year.If I remember correctly it was due to rising silver prices.
