WE should have a museum for all of them be fore it is too late . They could be lost forever .
 
Couple of oldish detectors . My first detector was a Sovereign GT .I still remember sneaking down the beach with it just before nightfall hoping not to be seen by the other more experienced blokes with ctx3030s and Deuss . That was until they came over to my end wondering what I was doing in the swash , curious about my knob and switch detector. Still goes well . And the Nell attack coil gives extra ground coverage . Anyways apologies for the picks , not much room in my storage.

Almost a Minelab.

The Goldseekers 12000 was the second Detector made by a Company in South Australia by Goldseekers Electronics.

Wow the finds were huge in the 80`s even with these relic machines.

Minelab was established in 1985 and was acquired by Codan in March 2008.
Starting to wonder if `I` should be calling my Minelab detectors Codans ....
