Message:: [QUOTE="Stephan77, post: 2129416, member: 74244"]The name escapes me, if I heard it I'd probably remember it, but I bought a metal detector out of a 1960's-70's comic book ad as a kid. I think it was $19.99 if I recall, and it was advertised all the time in comic books and elsewhere. Well frankly, turned out that it was a small step above useless. I haven't metal detected since, but the idea intrigues me, and especially if nothing else as a way to get some exercise which admittedly I could use. There was a local rural store around here which was in business for many years, and they closed at least 30 or more years ago, but the store is basically as is from over 30 years ago. It almost looks as though you could walk right in now and make a purchase except for a few signs saying that it is closed, has the old style gas pumps outside, etc. I would LOVE to metal detect that area if I could but it's of course private property, I don't know the owner, and since it's been "untouched", I doubt if the owner would allow it. But I would invest $500 or more in a metal detector just for that one chance of searching, metal detecting the grounds around that store.[/QUOTE]
