Hi all,
I just picked up an old Garrett detector but I don't know what model it is to get instructions on use.
It doesn't have a model number on it.
Any ideas on how to work out what model it is.
I have attached photos.

Kenny, that's a Garrett Groundhog, early model. I have a manual which you may borrow. I can send it by post and when you are done you can return it. Or you can download one from Garrett here from the attachment below.

Warning! This is one fine machine, as capable as any new model. You're going to be very pleased with it. My only complaint is the weight. I am considering placing mine into a lighter box and adding a much lighter pole.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

I bought one like this out of a pawn shop some years ago...and I loved the sound of the bell tone that unit had. I believe it was a ground hog and it ran off of 4 nine volt batteries.The shop owner(Who was murdered later by a crazy negro woman who stabbed him in the throat with a butcher knife) told me the detector had been owned by a couple gold prospers out in california or Arizona that had been pretty successful finding gold with the unit. You pushed the nine volts into a little slide in tray and closed the door with a screw or two screws? I never liked 10 turn ground balance, and just hunted with it without the balance adjusted right--but I could still find my share of coins with it. It didn't have much depth...but that was probably because I didn't have the ground bal set right and because it had a small coil of about six or seven inches in diameter.

Funny, I just bought a Groundhog the other day, mines an old one also. You can download a manual from the internet just type in Garrett Groundhog and you will find a site to go to. Good luck with yours. Rick

Groundhogs were made in a variety of configurations in Australia the most successful one was the A2B they picked up the smallest piece of gold what we used to call Fly shit. You almost needed a magnifying glass to see it stuck between clear sticky tape.
Great machine you have there a legend brilliant too.
