Love his accent. Was he from Virginia? Too bad actors who play southern Civil War soldiers can't do it better. A shame these accents are fading away.

@drott5 That is correct. Its an SCR-625 Mine detector from WWII. not the most sensitive metal detector but sufficient to find artillery projectiles and larger fragments. They are now worth more than a lot of low end and more accurate detectors on the market.

Wow, what an awesome video! I must've watched this 10 times, and every time my favorite part is when he says, "You can't go at this too fast....you'll find more if you take your time and go slow!" So true, and so great to be reminded of it by one of the legends

Wow! That seems like it was back just before the hobby really took off. As I figured from Christopher Dickey's comment, that was a military type of detector, undoubtedly used for mine detection.
World War II surplus. If you take a look at the first clip Tom explains that it was the most stable, at least at that point, almost four decades ago. Cheers
