Growing up in Tucson Az, We had friends that lived in the Boonies.
One of the son's use to take me out in the hills a fair walk from the home to what He Called the BAT caves.
Already a Rock hound, going into old mine shafts was so cool..
Later reading those old Rag Treasure magazines I found a NO NAME detector for sale for $50.00. Back in the 70's that was a pile of money.
Took two month of begging my mom to get it for me. The first 10 minutes of use in the front yard produced a 1953 silver Quarter.
I was DOOOOOOOMED , Doomed I tell Ya!
It was a BFO detector with a Whole 5 Transistors.
It was Called the Crusader!
They even Sent me a News Letter over the Next Year to add fuel to the Fire.
I had the Treasure World by the Short Hairs!
Being in the Military stationed in places that would land you in the clink just for having one, I've had a detector over the past 40 years.
When I could not use one like in Greece, I found out I could snorkel and find rings and chains dang near as good as having one.
Yep! If you Love your Kids, Do NOT I repeat, DO NOT introduce them to Treasure Hunting.
LOL
