Homfire and I have been posting about the first metal detector we both had: The Crusader.  It was sold by an outfit in Oscoda, Wisconsin called "The Association."  It was a BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillation) unit and it sounded like a motorboat.  It had a switch on top and a tuning knob, didn't discriminate, no ID features, you had to dig everything!  It drifted terribly and had to be constantly re-tuned.  But I did find lots of good stuff with it and I also learned how to metal detect with it.  I had a lot of fun doing it with this detector!
 
#1 is the Crusader, #2 is a closeup of the box, #3 is the box disassembled, and #4 is the heart of the Crusader.  Enjoy!

LOL! That's the BEAST!   PUT PUT!  Op Freq was 360khz.  I still have the Wand and outer box.  What a Hoot.

Even has the Plastic Window Screen over the Speaker like mine.

Mine had Two Battery holders.  OOOOOOOOO I must have got the Upgrade, Eaaaa?

Ut Oooo!   Just noticed yours has a Adjustable Shaft.   Mine was Fixed.  

I'll tell ya what!   It found Black sands holding some fine Gold for me more then a few times.

I wish I still had it.  LOL

Get it in the Creak and tune ur up.   Zero beat.  You know Put Put.

If it went Low, You was over Black Sands.

That adjustable shaft was a little project I did myself.  It came with a fixed shaft.  If you adjusted it above null you found metal and if you adjusted it below null it would respond to hot rocks and minerals!  I played with that a little, too, when I was using it.  Detecting  Mine has just one battery holder.

Here's another shot of the top of the box I forgot to include.
