My parents are packrats just like me! lol
My mom found these publications in a box at their house. They all date from 1969 to 1971. She thought I might get a kick out of them and gave them to me. They are a real hoot to read! Some of you BFO veterans might find them interesting too. :yes:
All kinds of stories about finds, ideas about hunting spots, and ads for the latest equipment. Familiar companies like White's, Fisher and Garrett, and unfamiliar ones like Metrotech and Detectron.
The Association sounds like some kind of secret society or something! lol
I guess TV shows about treasure hunting aren't a new thing. lol
Raise your hand if you used to own one of these:
What an alien looking contraption!
No wonder we can't find anything in Illinois! :hairpulling: lol
It's really interesting to read these old publications and see what the mindset was back then. They seemed to focus a lot more on caches and hoards instead of single-coin finds. Anyway, I thought these old papers were fun. It's interesting to read about the history of the hobby and see how times have changed.
