Gardiner Metal Detectors

[WM6]

But anyway the last patent posted from around 1982 is for a design running at 6 khz , maybe their last and best machine ??

Yes, seems this is the last and probably the most developed patent.

But do you (or anyone) know, which Gardiner model is working at about 2kHz? I think this have to be one of earlier models.

There is nothing about working frequencies in received catalogue and other documents.

Hello Everyone . Some good information is posted for Gardiner on the Geotech "Patents" page .

There are many PDF patent folders for Gardiner , maybe 5 or 6 and not just one like I said earlier . I am excused for my Alzheimer's . But anyway the last patent posted from around 1982 is for a design running at 6 khz , maybe their last and best machine ??

Me too Eugene.

I think ferrite pot trafos are most expensive parts in it.

We will see if anything of 230-C fortune look at this topic.

You will see on the depth charts for all Gardiner models the only coin tested was a penny .
The other objects were cans , buckets , bb's and metal plates . No silver or gold depths.

But in their promo coins are very known:

No surplus for now. The ebay Model 190 is an early one, judging from the wooden coil. All my Gardiners have plastic coils.

Pity, I was hoping that you run out of space for which of your bulky Gardiners.


I know Carl, you have no hole in your time, but maybe you come across with one of the very early Gardiner catalog examples and post some scan here?

[WM6]

WM6 . Check your e-mail . I think its pretty full , like 76 mega-bytes !!

When I get time I will convert the catalog to a more efficient PDF file .

Hi Eugene

This is more interesting reading as in mine most dream fictions.

A big thanks to for all your great efforts with scanning and your kindness to find, scan and send me.

Yes I remark unusual test target selection mostly without coins, maybe at those times was other TH criteria?

Scan was was a little bulky to post here at once. Regarding interest I will sporadic publish some parts, like this (for special interested still remain email):

Here some interesting photos of Gardiner Model190A (thanks to eBay author "budsnascar" I think):

(what admin say?)

You can post the pics.

1981 would have been close to the end for Gardiner. I have some older catalogs, perhaps back to the late 50's. Also have 4 or 5 Gardiner detectors, including a Treasuretron C with 36" coil.

Thanks admin!

Carl, what is surplus in your interesting stock?
