Speaking about losing those plastic clips it looks like another black plastic clip just fell off of your metal detector into the grass at time 3:20. I got into metal detecting back in 1987 buying a used Fisher 1220X from a doctor who bought it new but never had the time to use it.
I had the bigger brother to the tr machine,,that was the C Scope ib/tr 100,,,almost exactly the same machine they both used pp6 battery's,,,both where good machines for there time,,still miss my ib/tr 100,,,of this was a long long time ago better days,,,LoL
C scopes like this got many people interested in the hobby and this example still has its pipe finder licence application form so the owner did not use this one much in its life.
@@ringfinder1962 yep I used to have a license for the one I had as well,,but that was way back in the day,,if I remember right it was about £8...but as you probably know you don't need a license any more,,,in those days you needed to have a license for a radio of any kind,,but the government realised there was no way to enforce it,as there where so many around,,including pocket transistor radios lol....😄
My first use of a detector was an early C Scope in about 1975/76. Borrowed from one of dad's friends who was a detectorist and sold such models. Was on loan and did have to go back. Thanks for sharing. I think it was an IB model and I think it had a reset button at the end of the crook handle hand grip.
Thanks for your detailed reply, in about 1979 I purchased a c scope TR700 auto discriminator and it did have a red auto tune button on the tip of the handle. I borrowed an c scope vlf 800 auto discriminator in 1982 and found that was a deep mashine. There was a shop in swindon called the treasure chest who sold the early c scopes.
Had one of these in 1978 when I was 14 good old memory's each month waiting for my delivery of treasure hunting to come thanks for the memory
i remember it well. also, you had to have a pathfinders license to use it. 👌👌

I wonder what treasures that has found in its lifetime
