The Bedrock Museum of Science and Industry. That is the model that Fred and Barney used to look for Wilma's lost wedding ring.

I have a 1976 BH catalog on my site, from way back when PNI (Pacific Northwest Instruments) owned the Bounty Hunter name. The Maverick was a simple BFO detector and an economy model at that, so expect no frills and simple performance. They can still have some utility today as a meteorite testing device, not so much for finding them, but for air-testing the odd-looking rock you might spot with your eyes.
Interesting as a "toy" and maybe to a BH collector, but you ain't gonna retire on the money from selling it. OTOH, it was kept all these years and some people do still like a good old-fashioned BFO for certains tasks. Don't dumpster it, pass it on to somebody or try it out, you might like doin' it the old fashioned way!
And it's got a lifetime warranty! You can't go wrong! (Good luck with that at FTP, askj for Dave and tell him I sent ya!)

Thanks! No warrantee work needed yet. I put a fresh battery in it last night and it works fine.
I appreciate the post and links! I was really trying to establish the age of it and collect info about what it is, not so much make a profit. It's going on a shelf, with the brochures printed and placed behind it.
