- Can a 1978 Metal detector still work? As I find my 1978 Coinmaster metal detector. This has been sitting on a shelf in my workshop in a bin bag some 30 years! Can it possible still work? Well, here I give it a try out after a clean.
I had that exact machine back in the 70's, I really liked it. I found a lot of good coins and relics with it.
Yep, mine worked well and still does! Likewise I found many interesting things back in the day with this trouble is here in the UK now it's hard to find land to go and use it on as you have permission from so many people! Thanks for your great comment Kev.
@@BramleyProductions You are welcome Kev. My oldest White's is a 1956 White's Oremaster super geiger counter. It is in pristeen condition, unfortunately you can't get batteries for it anymore. I have a 1969 White's coinmaster IV, and a 1969 Goldmaster 66 tr. I picked up a early 1970's Made by White's for Sears, endorsed by Ted Williams Treasure Locator. Newer White's machines are a mint condition 6000 DI Pro (1989), two White's Eagle II machines (1990), one works, one doesn't, a Whites Surfmaster II also in pristeen condition, and lastly a White's Goldmaster Vsat, also in pristeen condition (1990). This morning I picked up a sweet 1972 Bounty Hunter II BFO machine that works perfectly for $25. :) I began my detecting adventure in 1972 with a Bounty Hunter I.
Nice video! I love the old machines and use them today.
Many thanks, I can only apologies the video of a field test using this is still coming re this great old metal detector what with winter here and trying to find a place to detect with permission have all taken a bit longer than planned. As you sit'sts still a fun thing to use these well built older machines. Kev.
I love the old machines.... They had character. 😂
made when things were built to last!
I hope you make some good finds and have fun while doing it!
:-)
I've often thought how interesting it would be to see classic detector events or clubs. Anyone come across anything like this?
What a great thought I have never heard of anything like this? I'm still finding it hard to gain permission around where I live in the UK to get on any land sadly these days! Thanks, Kev.
Got one sitting here
Nice to see it still works, I picked up an old cscope recently. Looking forwards to getting into detecting.
Thanks yes I have taken this out in the field a couple of times since I have to say it's always blown a gale. The video I took was hopeless, but I will be doing an update as I found a few beautiful old coins and artefacts with its fun to use something your first brought 40 years ago which after a good clean up still works. Thanks for your kind comment. Kev.
Thanks for this, takes me back!
Thanks, I was just amazed after a good clean up inside and out it works as if I had just left it a few weeks rather than 30 years! I was amazed. Thanks, Kev.
I grabbed a bunch of free tools and idds and ends that were left out front of a windows house about 3 years ago. Digging thru the bits I found a Whites Coinmaster Cm4. Battery holders were all dry rotted but after some super glue I had this vintage detector beeping away!! Free is awesome!
Yep seems the old battery holders do succumb to battery rot! Like I say I brought a couple of new ones from ebay which fitted just! Yep they are a super fun detector to use I'm going to do a field test on this one soon and a video been having trouble finding permission from some land owners to go on some land as you need this in the UK now to use any kind of metal detector Thanks good to hear of your great free finds! Kev.
I have the same detector. Bought it in the 70s and found silver at the beach and a lot of odd items. It's too heavy to swing now so I'm looking for a new beach worthy detector.
Yep, these were so well made but like you say are so heavy with all those batteries! But in their there day were excellent machines. Like wise, I found so much with mine, I used to do a lot of beaches here in the Uk and found so many coins! Finding it hard here in the UK where I live to get permission to go on any farm land now! There sure are some good new detectors out there now which as you say are a good deal lighter! Mind not sure if they will last 40+ years and still work. Thanks for your super comment. Kev.
Good video. I much prefer those analog machines. I myself use a whites 5000D series 2. It will find coins 4 to 6 inches , or more. And sometimes past 8 inches in GEB MAX. If there's coins beyond that , I'm not digging a well to find them. Even if some of the digital will go deeper , IL stick with the analogs. A lot of the older detectors can give newer ones a good race. Fisher , and whites were pretty deep seekers in the day. If adjusted (and working) properly , they still can BE. Good video. GL HH.
Thanks for your kind comment! Yes I love this old machine I'm still planing to go out and do a field test on it and hence do a video on that. 40 years on since I last did any detecting I have had quite a bit of trouble finding some land then getting permission to detect on the land unlike 40 years ago you just went and detected anywhere here in the UK! Thanks again. Kev.
@@BramleyProductions Good luck on your next hunt brother.
thanks for the video. going to make a video on this and a few other vintage detectors tomorrow. Oh shoot! I just ran and got mine and it only has a Tuner knob, a volume, battery check and Power switch knob. Guess mine is a different model, huh? The tuner knob has Mineral and Metal on it too.
Thanks look forward to your video! many thanks, good old-style detectors that still work well for sure! Thanks, Kev.
@@BramleyProductions shot the video today and will upload tomorrow probably.
@@BramleyProductions video with old detectors should be up in.....11 minutes!
White's Electronics, Sweet Home, Oregon, USA, made Coinmaster detectors like that years ago. Sadly, they sold the business earlier this year. I have 2 of their newer machines
I still have Dad's Coinmaster IV. Works great!
Yep, these old machines do seem so well built and reliable after all these years and still over a lot of fun in the detecting great to hear you have one still going well also thanks for your great comment. Kev.
Hello, can you help me, I am in the process of buying one, can it get the burials out from the underground, thank you
@@BramleyProductions
Dad was meticulous about his things and took excellent care of it. So, I was very surprised when the frames for the batteries were not in the machine. I searched all over the basement, but they just weren't there. I found other loops for a different detector, but not the battery frames. Probably, he left batteries in them and they corroded. Fortunately, I was able to find replacements on eBay and they were quite reasonable. I had no problems recovering my lost class ring. I knew where it fell, and a marked the area with a stick. But if I hadn't had the metal detector, it would have been lost forever.
@@jehadjbory9270
I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but yes, it will detect metal that is buried.
@@betsysingh-anand3228 Yep things thing just go on and on and seemed to be built and well made to last. I likewise had to buy new battery holders for mine as well. But as you say easy to find and these are simple to use and still work well after all these years so well done, Thanks for your great comment Kev.
I have a vintage Compass Detector and cant find the inner parts anywhere
I’ve got a Coinmaster TR-discriminator Multi 4B coil 1776-1976 bicentennial that still has the bicentennial sticker still on it- I was wondering about the single battery on the door, what is that one for?
I have an old Target Eye metal detector I'm trying to fix. It seems there isn't power when I flip the switch. I'm thinking it's the power switch or a battery wire. Can you give me any advise? I'm not even finding the one I have anywhere.
I guess a swing harness would be great for this :)
Great vid, thanks.
Realise this is quite old now, but I don’t suppose you could point me to the instructions you found please?
I picked one of these up at a car boot, and would really like to learn how to use it.
Thanks
Hi, I have searched high & low on line it seems the download I did on the instructions for this has now gone it seems like Whites have been taken over who made the detector heads on these and the downloads have been removed or I just can't find them. However, I managed to get my old computer fired back up and I have the download in a pdf file form. I would be happy to try to email this to you if you like? If you want to send me an email my address is mine is kevbygrave19@gmail.com Thanks for your kind comment these old machines are good fun I had some really good finds back in the day using mine! Let me know if you would like me to try to send this to you. Thanks. Kev.
@@BramleyProductions
Hi Kev, that is a very kind offer, and I appreciate the effort you have gone to to help me.
I will email you directly.
Thanks
Simon
@@simondrinkall2933 No problem Hopefully it's on its way to you right now a pleasure to be able to help best wishes Kev.
They are available here on Garrett's website now: garrett.com/whites-manuals
@@fredjones100 Thanks for that Kev.
I just got one awesome
Bom dia .
Me fala uma coisa .ese detector pega uma chapa de 20x20 enterra da aque profundidade?
Sabes me falar.
I have the tr- discriminator of that and it does work. Its a sears version made by whites
Thanks, these were very good in their day I had lots of fun with this one of mine back in the late 1970s for sure. It makes me laugh looking at some of the comments here people can't seem to understand this was just a test this machine had laid on a shelf for some 40 years! Hence why I buried some coins to see if I could still find them. Good to know yours still works as well they seem very well made. Thanks for the comment Kev.
I have got the same one I would like to sale.... Any idea value?
I got exactly the same 1
Great to know there are others of these still left out there! I feel these were very well made I feel and built to last for sure thanks for your great comment. Kev.
excellent video. I have just acquired one of these from an auction site and I'm looking forward to restoring it. did you ever go out and try it elsewhere?
Thanks Yes have fun with your an easy machine to bring back to life! Yep, I have been out a couple of times but both times it was blowing a gale and the wind noise killed the video so I do still hope to do a proper felid test on a calm day! Thanks Sure you will have fun with yours Kev.
Ese e utilizado também pra prospecção ?
Yes, this can be used for prospecção Metal ores such as gold etc.
@@BramleyProductions obrigado pela atenção.
Vou te falar porque te fiz esas perguntas e que tem um desse aí aqui no Brasil no olx.ta bem barato o preço sei que antigo dos anos 80.iso iso.
Tô querendo comprar pois meus recursos são poucos.
Aí tô pesquisando pra ver se serve pra prospecção. .
Tu quando falas que Ele serve pra prospecção .
Ele pegaria uma grama de ouro a 10 centímetros enterrado no solo ?
Se não for te pedir demais.
Obrigado.
Mine works it's the same model but mine has a button on the handle and different nomenclature on a couple of the knobs of course it is United States and it only uses a 12 volt system strange indeed I've noticed a lot of these older ones have two batteries
Thanks, good to know there are still a few of these about and that they still work is a testament to how well they were made back then. Thanks for your super comment love hearing about these thanks Kev.
i have one of those
Good old machines! I have to say mine still work very well. But perhaps a bit dated to what is available today but will these modern machines still work in 40+ years' time! Thanks for your comment. Kev.
I was the 1000th viewer.
Many thanks! Wow 1000 views. Still intend to do a field test on this old machine been twice and its blown a gale and you not hear a thing no in the UK the ground is so wet but it is going to come thanks for your comment Kev
Muy bueno cuanto su precio dolares
It's just about there... in this hole I dug 5 minutes ago... where I placed a nice shiny coin.
Like and mutual subscription
You planted them
Well, that was the whole point! Here I was testing the machine as I say this had metal detector not been used in 40 years! I did say I was planting them this was nothing more than a trial!!! To see if it still worked Hope that explains that. K.
