I got something like that for Christmas 1970. I think mine was a Radio Shack though. But it looked very much the same. I left for Navy boot camp just a week later on new years day 1971. I never saw that metal detector again. I have no idea what happened to it.

Gary, thanks for the info!
. This thing is major uncomfortable to swing as it is about 4 lbs. Not balanced good at all. I'd hate to have to use it for very long, though those old blue box Coinmasters were pretty heavy too way back when. When I get some time I may try to fire this thing up. Thanks everyone love the comments!ThommyParham

OMG!! I had one
My Dad and I built a Heathkit detector back in 1972. It was a gerat Father-Son activity, I learned a lot. I took it to a nearby Civil War site when I was 12 (like th day after it was finished) and I found some Minie Balls from the Civil War. I still have it, but it's dead.
