Need to replace battery / battery pack for Fortune Hunter VLF/TR - Groundhog

[Mardigan]

Hello everyone! I am brand new to this forum and even more so to metal detecting. I picked up at Garrett Fortune Hunter push-button VLF/TR metal detector at a yard sale last weekend. It appears to be in excellent condition except it is missing the battery pack. I've searched online but haven't had much luck.
Does anyone know how I can find a replacement?

Thanks for the help!

I went to the Garrett site to try and figure out what type of battery holder is used and couldn't find a manual for it. Can you post a pic of the place where the batteries go? Maybe we can figure it out from there. I do know it's an oldie, a real dinosaur!!

Standard Groundhog battery tray. Think they were going for about $22.00

Do you know where I could buy one? I haven't had any luck looking online.

You might try Keith Wills at brokendetector.com. He repairs old detectors and might have the part you need.
