broken B.H. earplug help.....

I have one too... first one I ever had. You're right, it's not junk 
I found a lot of coins with that machine and it's what got me addicted to this hobby.
On the face of the machine you should see four screws. If you can remove those you should be able to pull the controls out of the housing (although I've never done it). One part of the headphone jack has spring tension to it which makes the headphone plug "click" into place. It's probably just opened up too much after years of use. If you can get to it, just try to push the clip in a little (make the opening smaller). Or, if you're handy with a soldering gun, just take it off and go to radio shack for a replacement and solder it back on. Cheap fix.
However, before you do that, try some tuner or contact cleaner spray first. It could also be as simple as being dirty. Spray it inside the jack and on the plug; then move the jack in and out a couple of times. When it dries, give it a whirl.
Good luck!

Over here we don't call anyones detector junk! They are all good! If the guy knows the machine, he will find treasure! If the earphones are cheaper ones, you may have to scrap them? Many of the more expensive ones have lifetime warrenty! I hope it all works out for you! God bless!
