While going through the vast accumulation of "stuff" at my parents' house recently I discovered this invoice for the Garrett metal detector that my dad bought way back in 1968! I must admit that I was somewhat shocked at how much they paid for it, they were on a limited income and that was a lot of money to them back then.
Dad says he ordered it from an ad he saw in one of the treasure hunting magazines. As I have mentioned before, I still have that metal detector with both coils and the instruction manual. I put new batteries in a few weeks ago but I could not get it to turn on.
Just thought I'd share. This had to have been one of the very first Garrett metal detectors!
