I've still got a Whites 5000D that my wife and I got in the mid 70's, we would've got rich too (if "pop can tabs" were worth anything...).Me too! Been detecting since 1985, with Garretts. Wife uses the AT Pro; awesome machine, very light, full featured. I thought by now we would be seeing 3' under the ground with a handheld flat screen TV. I'm waiting.
