Early BFO metal detectors.................

[Melbeta]

My first metal detector, was a BFO unit. I chose the BFO Discriminator made by Ed Rance. It was lighter, and worked better then the BFO models by the other manufacturers.....I know
as was an dealer and sold them myself...Now years ago, I wrote an early BFO booklet, and it pertained to the early BFO machines..........Here below is my early BFO booklet!!!!!!!

And since I went up into the various mining districts, looking for and finding gold nuggets, I wrote booklets on finding gold nuggets from the infectious black sands..........Here is one of
my black sands booklets.....

I used to work on large sized factory schematic copies, enhanced them, so they were not scummy nor filled with crap. Then I scanned them into smaller sheets, which they were highly legible in smaller sheets, as like I said, I ENHANCED them. Then I wrote booklets, stuck the smaller sized sheets into the booklets,and out they went, expensive a bit, but with the words showing starting with the coils, then ending inside the cased part. But today, I am older, and work more outside on my property. I trim trees, eat fruit, take the fruit seeds, plant fruit seedlings, then eventually I have a multi-fruit area. Then I sold that land to people who wanted orchards. I was in real estate back then, and controlled the listings of pristine land. Today I only own two properties, one is 10 acres, other is 2.6 acres, but contains Colorado Mining Water Right #2 on it. During the next 10 years, I will end up selling both pieces of land, but the Colorado MINING water right, will end up becoming Colorado Water Right #2, and only one water right in the state will be BEFORE mine own #2 Water Right, and I will transfer that water right to my 10 acre piece of land.

I will stick in a .PDF file, showing that I do what I said I will do... I not only write booklets, I enhanced factory schematics in the past........Do not do it today though, as I am busy working on my 10 acre piece of land with an 8,000 SF house and 4 double garaged (8 total car garage units) and an attached cabana building. In other words I have two large buildings with garages on each of the buildings. I had an inground motel sized swimming pool, but had it filled in, as it gathered too many pine needles in it each winter. I take and grow small Ponderosa Pine trees and transplant them onto the south 5 acre piece...I also grow some small fruit trees as well. I got two 5 acre pieces today (had 15 acres originally) and the guy I sold the first 5 acres wants to buy my adjoining 10 acres that abuts to his 5 acres. So I already have the interested buyer for my 10 acres as he wants to buy it for his younger brother who is thinking of moving near the adjoining brother. I might move back to western NEBR and buy a farm there. He wants his brother to live next door to him. I grew up on irrigated farms in western Nebr. I was driving farm tractors and old trucks and cars at age 9 years old......My mom started me working very young you see...I still am a workaholic person!!!!!!!!!!!

And that is the four sets along with some rare coins I found in the past..........My wife owns her grandmother's silverware outfit, and I did not take photos
of the wifes silverware as I only took photos of MY SILVEWARE stuff...........I used to have a lot more sets of silverware, used to repair them and re-silverware
plated them for people. I plated former plated and also plated solid silverware sets for a while. I used to make lost wax casting jewelry...I made mold of
various silver pieces and replicated them like crazy and sold them at flea markets in the area!!! I took vintage pieces and set them into neat looking
belt buckles I lost wax cast and sold........In other words, I could flip out a silver dollar replica and frame it with various zized LEAFS for the belts.......

A silver smith taught me lost wax casting and making jewelry!!!!!!! Versatile is my middle name you see.......
