[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 113796, member: 1695"] Micronta 4003, it was the first metal detector I ever owned as a teeny bopper, got be the worst detector I've had the displeasure of owning. I think the fact that it had a lot of silver knobs, a red button on the handle, and a fancy needle display that had me hooked, couldn't really afford much else back then The shaft was permanently collapsible, the coil sounded off on the slightest bump, and I nearly permanently lost my Dad's wedding ring, which was completely undetectable under 2- 3" of bark in the garden. Good for detecting rebar though. :D I used to dream of owning an xt17000 or a goldmaster 2, the latest and greatest detectors of that time. Here she is, what a beauty (not my pic) [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1415428638_img_20141108_144026.jpg[/img]. [/QUOTE]
