I first used a detector at age 10 or so. In the late 70s dad bought home a metal detector, it came with us to the beach, and family picnics.....me, and my siblings often found 20c, 10c, etc no pre decs. I remember wanting a more expensive machine, but we couldnt afford it. So, as a kid, guess I detected for a year, and still remember finding 20c pieces at the beach. But I hadnt detected since, so about 35yrs later I see the aldi machines....bought one for memories sakes I spose.... Anyway point of story....I have been looking for one of those detectors, my first detector for a couple of years now. Got one from gumtree today, and its like new...for only 15 bucks. Its like the great grandfather of the Deus, compact, very light. Way ahead of its time! The last photo is to make the CTX guys cry with envy, as they apply icepacks to their so tired arms lol.
