Out of curiosity, the more I research and read about George Payne, it seems the less I can find out about this legend of detector designers.
I had read something recently about Mr. Payne and Teknetics and seen Carl Moorelands name mentioned so Im more or less directing this post to Carl and in hopes of hearing more about Discovery and George and whether you two knew each other personally and worked together at some point in time, any valuable knowledge you could share about this man and his gift to the detecting world.
It would be neat to hear a little more about the mind set and in his abilities of engineering such a neat detector with so many options.
I was lucky enough to run across a Treasure Baron Gold Trax model about 12 yrs ago and have kept it in pristine, like new condition. In fact it still has the QC sticker on the bottom of the coil and not a mark on the heavy gold aluminum case. It is a remarkable machine for its time and I'll probably be buried with it as Iam enomored by its complexity and beauty.
Anyways, I figured Id dig it out and mess with it a little and thought Id take a few pics for those that may remember or even still use one of the few extraordinary models.
If you have one or have used one, reply back with your thoughts and pics if you want. It seems to be a forgotten gem of a detector so I just wanted to bring it back into the limelight even if just for a moment.
