Hi guys,
I have just bought (not for a great deal of money) a Fortunefinder 8000 made by Linear Electronics Australia. The detector is VLF from the early 1980's I think, 5 adjustable knobs including discrimination, a toggle switch on the front of the handle. The coil is a 10inch and I think it might be similar to a Whites 5000 10inch coil.
It needs a little TLC but I am sure I can get it to work to a point. There is no manual to help setting it up, so that is a little challenging.
If anyone out there knows anything about these detectors, I would love to hear from them, how good they are or are not? Also if someone has a manual with information that would be great.
Thankyou in anticipation.
Cheers
