Don't you have that old unit w/ the 'wooden' coil that you assembled?

No, I don't have that detector anymore, but I do have one of the 6" red wooden BFO coils in my Seminar Tote to show some of what we started with. It's the same as I used on our White's GhostTowner BFO in '68 & '69. I also have one of the Garrett BFO Dual coils from a Master Hunter BFO. Unfortunately, I don't have a working specimen of either detector on-hand.

PS: back in those early days the search coils could be sent to White's and for $25 they would 'waterproof' then so they could be submersed. That was an 'extra' cost.
