Hi-Tech Metal Detecting Supercomputers

  I picked up this here mean machine a few weeks ago for a couple of bucks at a yard sale and I finally got a chance to clean it up and fire it up. I love it. This is a perfect example of what people were hunting with forty or fifty years ago. Note the ground balancing knob, which is a far cry from the automatic ground balancing of today's remarkably advanced devices. I'm pretty sure the old Search Master was the predecessor to the modern Bounty Hunter brand metal detector. Anyway, I just love the look of this vintage beauty, and I think I see a tattoo in that Texas logo.
