Hi Dave,
Just watch out you don't pick up a fault in the AE35 unit.
Found a few sites with info but only one with some useful info...

A Garrett Groundhog fitted with that 10" DTex coil was a formidable combo back in the early/mid-80's. Ken Roberts of Finders put my then wife and I on to the set-up - the DTex coil wasn't as solid or heavy as the more expensive Garrett equivalent, but what it lacked in those departments it made up in sensitivity that helped us find heaps of tiny nuggets.
If that coil and detector are still functional, I wouldn't bother thinking about other coils - what you've got there is as good as it gets!

Crikey, that brings back some memories, think the Dtex sticker on the side might be from a Dtex coil. Garret and Dtex were different manufacturers I think. Dtex also made a Gold King & a Search King detector. Like grubstake says that combo was the bees knees in its day. The SDC of the early 80s.
