From what I have read and gathered, our hobby started right after WWII when the GI came home and purchased the land mine detectors from military surplus. But it really did not take off in main stream America until the 60's.
Of course, Fisher claims the first detector "for use" in 1931.
Hope this helps!
Anyone else? |
