I inherited an old metal detector from my dad a year ago and am curious about it. I had intended to buy one to start coin hunting and someone told me that this was near the top of the line back when. I am curious if it is so outdated that I definately need to buy a new one or if it might still be useful.
It is a Garrett Coin Hunter TR discriminating hybrid dual circuit. The head measures just over 8" and is marked "Garrett Super Depth Twin Circuit Discriminator X"
I can't find a model number.
What do I have and is it any good? I think dad bought it in the late '70s or early '80s.
I plan on checking school grounds and parks for coins. Dad and I found several back in the '80s. I still have some of them. In fact I need to get some of them valued- Indian head pennies and silver quarters and half dollars from the early 1900s through the '20s and '30s.
Thanks,
Jim
