Anyone know the year of this detector and the co-axial coil that is compatable.
 
I know of no Garrett machine that was titled "1 khz". Do you have a name of the detector? Should be printed on the side of the control box.
 
Found the answer on another forum.................................Hi Clark ...the original Compass Relic Magnum was at 2 KHZ...Not many were made.......The original Garrett VLF all metal detector was at 1 KHZ...(No Discrimination)...Most of the manufacturers discovered that by increasing the frequency ....the detector was more stable and the depth factor was Not sacrificed!!!...Another example is the Fisher 1280....it operates at 2.5 KHZ .......................Joe

Happy Hour....since I wrote that reply....I found out that the original Garrett VLF all metal detector (No Discrimination model) was at 2 KHZ ....later Garrett moved the frequency up to 5 KHZ due to stability issues!
 
Around 73/74--detector had an orange co-axial coil that allowed hunting Under barbed wire fences--deepest vlf ever.
