"OLD FORGOTTEN METAL DETECTOR'S"

[Melbeta]

If you find that Teknetics schematics....

Hey Eugene!


That Tek S/T was my all time favorite detector so far. It was very powerful.

I was a Teknetics dealer in the 80's and found a huge pile of CW relics with it. Went into the water with in in some lakes, and into the ocean in Pueto Rico.

I have a full size schematic of it packed away in a box somewhere. George Payne designed it.

Frank in MD

Frank, I was a Teknetics, Compass, BountyHunter, Garrett, Whites, Gold Mountain, AH Pro, and so on, dealer back then too, started in 1973, and ended in 1999. If you find that schematic, let me know, as I really need it. I still have some Teks, BH Big Bud Pro, Compass, and some oldies in my basement, and some need some work on them done... Thanks in advance.

legendary Tracker IV of Bounty Hunter. why it is legendary I do not know

this link seems to no longer have the schematics for download, can you repost these schematics? Thank you ....

[Melbeta]

Can you re-post the files????

oops! SORRY! I was at digging

Tried to download, but it is no longer available on that website. Can you repost the files? Would really appreciate it. Thanks....

Good pics - circuit or other side of board available?

Tell us more about using the detector, compared to others.

Look two posts above you will see the other side.
There will also be a link to my website with more Sterling info also pictures of the Musketeer X. As well as field tests.
They are hard to come by, most owners won't sell them. They do have a cult following......They can easily compete with many high end detectors
out today. Easy to add external ground balance and threshold controls if wanted to make it tunable for any ground minerals.

These metal box detectors (fit into the palm of your hands) were the beginnings of the Colt thru Musketeer XS-Advantage models.

I haven't even had chance to super tune this particluar one. Right now I am using it with a Musketeer Advantage 8" coil.

I'm not a pro at writing schematics.

If this detector looks like it would be a do it yourself build, I am willing to retake the pictures in a much larger size.
And store them on the web for downloading.

Same detector as the Tribune and Musketeer X

Searchcoil plug pictures, wires were shorting out causing falsing, now repaired. Probably the crappy soldering and quality control of the coil makers for Minelab. Which forced Minelab to have new closed center coils made by another company

More Sterling Pix

Lots of pictures maybe of some use

Minelab Sterling

My all time favorite, goes deep, compact and fun to use.

Interesting how the coil cable looks like a typical stereo audio cable, separate shielded? I wonder.

-SB

As the Magnum and many other projects, separate shielded, common technic...

And the manufacturer's name is MuGuilin.
I think they're located in Shanghai.

...........I did not know that Treasure Hunting in China was/is Legal.........Evidently if they allow metal detectors to be made........IT MUST BE LEGAL..........maybe ONE need a permit??................I can just imagine at what could be found in China......a country 1000's of years old................Joe

not oldie forgotten but absoliutely new on market... Carl needs to be amazing... these china people do some magic things.

KT315.................I can't read Chinese so maybe you can translate for us!!.......Looks good but is this just a Chinese copy of an American/U.K. design??...........I do not read Chinese but I do know detectors.....it has a sensitivity control, discrimination level control, battery alert light?, says TC-90, and a mode control or a pinpoint type switch/button?? and it looks like it has a 10 inch coil and an armrest...........Try one out and give us a report.....Joe

Maybe not ... but I can.

All it says is: dixia jinshu tanceqi
In other words: undergound metal detector

You probably could have guessed that!
