1960's BFO METAL DETECTOR

[montanatramp]

I RAN ACROSS A D-TEX DELUXE BFO MODEL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AT AN ESTATE SALE.
IT IS COMPLETE WITH THE ORIGINAL USER MANUAL DATED 1966. IT HAS 2 COILS, HEADPHONES, AND WOODEN CARRYCASE. I POWERED IT UP AND ADJUSTED TO A THRESHOLD AND IT SOUNDS OFF NICELY TO COINS. ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

That is the VERY first detector I ever owned. That and a Radio Shack one as well. God that brings back some serious memories. 39 years worth of them. I don't know. I'm speechless. !!!!! How much was it. The Curiosity is killing me here. Thanks. PEACE:RONB

I get a kick out of them old units, they are a lot of fun.
Nice find.

I had one back in the 60s, never cared much for BFOs
