[QUOTE="silver, post: 332622, member: 1953"] My first detector was a kit in the seventies, you had to build it, solder in all the parts. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1953/1495372410_screenshot_2017-05-21-23-00-00.jpg[/img] A mates dad was a boiler maker, so the mate had access to a soldering iron and we went to town on it ,.... anyways, all the duck sh!t soldering made it that it couldn't work (funny that hey ! ) ,... so my Dad takes it to work with him as a foreigner for the leckys, and they strip it down and rebuild it better, stronger, faster (you get the idea) :lol: ,.... it comes home a perfect build ,... lots of fun and adventure, but sadly no actual finds :lol: , the expertise does come, but a bit later :rolleyes: . Anyway, I don't even know what happened to that thing back then, but, I'm sure it wasn't a case of somebody wanting it more than me ,... bit perplexing, but, those are the mysteries of youth that sometimes remain unexplained to the ends of time :| [b]......[/b]....... . . . . .
