Probably one of the oldest detectors you’ve seen!

Pretty cool, OSP!
Apparently it was a kit detector from the early/mid 1960s that was used with an AM radio to serve as your speaker! The radio would get tuned to a certain frequency to hear the tones...we've come a long way!!
Here's a thread from a different forum that discusses it, and has a shot of one assembled: Strange Radio - it's a metal detector!!

Nope, the estate sale I got it at guy took very good care of his stuff.
Even the lawn vacuum I picked up stored right no gas in tank fresh oil.

It’s actually pretty awesome. Sidewalks parking lots so many options.I actually googled that. Had no idea such things existed.
I ended up realizing I didn’t have a place to store it so I flipped it.
Buyer drove from San Diego to Los Angeles to pick it up.
