    Hours detecting to gold found ratio

    Hi guys, just out of interest I wondered how many hours on average you spend hunting per item of gold found. I just did 30 hours since I found my last gold, not that good! When I'm wading aboard in the winter it's more like 10. How does your hours searched to gold found ratio compare?

    Earning money with your detector

    Hi guys, the guy down the beach who is in charge of the boat moorings asked me to help him find a mooring that the buoy had come off and the chain had been buried in the sand by the sea. I managed to find the mooring, and he was very pleased. It cost him

    Rings v necklace's

    Hi guys, I was thinking the other day about necklaces. I find a fair amount of rings when I wade, but not very many necklaces. It's the same on the beach. All the necklaces I've found have had pendants on them, except one 35gm 14k thick chain. I use an Excalibur 1000. I love it and it finds me...

    Vibra quatic 2 pin Pointer :(

    Hi guys my vibra quatic 2 under water pin pointer arrived yesterday, what a disapointment. It is support to be an under water pin pointer, but it doesn't pin point! It does detect metal, but you have to keep moving the pin pointer away and back to the target, so it's a metal detector not a pin...

One was a 1941 half penny, the other was a ten pence coin, about 1985. It was a weird hunt, the beach was sand and clay...

    Is this dangerous?

    Hi guys went detecting today in the river estuary near my boat. It was low tide so I went down to the waters edge. I found 3 old coins, some bits of brass and this bullet. Is it dangerous? Sorry if it seams a dumb question, but here in the uk we aren't allowed guns. WW

    My new straight shaft!

    Hi guys, well here it is! A straight shaft that wader mike kindly made for me. He posted it down, and it was so simple to put together, the bits just clipped off the old shaft and on to the new one. It feels so well balanced, it's like there is no weight now, it's like a pendulum when it...

    Under water pinpointer

    Hi guys, does anyone use an underwater pin pointer? Is it much use? I am thinking of buying a vibratech 580. I use my pro pointer on the beach, and I did need it underwater a few times on my last trip away, but I'm not sure if I would use it much when I'm wading. I think it might be useful for...
