    Here's maybe a crazy question, especially to all the old timers like me who've scanned the ground while detecting......

    I had to chuckle at this.....because yes,i'm always looking at the ground just in case. Ever seen the series Detectorists.......Andy's wife makes the comment to him that he's "always looking at the ground"......i guess it's just a natural thing to do after you have been metal detecting for years.😁

    Oh well,i bit the bullet and bought one anyway.In an air test i achieved nearly three inches more on a very fine ladies wedding band from around 8 to around 11 inches and this was the same for a number of targets i tested.I tried to test my heavyweight wedding ring but because i've been eating...

    Anyone used this coil on the xterra pro......looks a good bet for the beach.Great ground coverage obviously but im wondering how the depth compares to the standard 12"coil.Cheers guys.

    Well, I'm back from the OBX beach week.... Theres many words I could use on how it went..

    Useless Odans........way too much sand on the beaches at the moment.Found a watch that had been down in the wet sand for a long while and a dog tag at the top of the beach but mostly aluminium trash. Going to a beach on sunday that has much coarser sand in the hope that the good stuff is a bit...

    Beach Shootout...Minelab, Nokta, Garrett,XP Deus II

    I know this is an old thread but i've only just read it.Yeh,some videos are total crap.......as Mud suggested some of the depths you see people obtaining are just ridiculous (no offence taken Muddy😁) but some can be quite informative. I watched a video by Cal on the xterra pro at the beach and...

    Potential Sovereign user questions.

    I went out with my GT today for the first time in over a year.......just haven't been doing much detecting.I went to a local beach that is riddled with aluminium in all shapes and sizes and it didn't disappoint,it's all I dug.........no jewellry and no coins,just the dreaded ally. I didn't do a...

    Well, I'm back from the OBX beach week.... Theres many words I could use on how it went..

    Im off this morning to try and find a lost ring with a supposedly huge diamond in it.........i know the area she lost it in but i really haven't got a lot of hope......oh well at least i can say i gave it a go. Our beaches aren't giving up anything at the moment,seems like an unususl amount of...

    Well, I'm back from the OBX beach week.... Theres many words I could use on how it went..

    I went to one of my local beaches last weekend and didn't get a single signal.....admittedly there was quite a bit of sand on but to not get a single signal is a first for me in my entire metal detecting journey. Not too long ago i would always come back with a good handful of coins and there...

    Drone photography.

    Been a couple of times,i used to live there........i believe a few gold coins have come off the bay,unfortunately i didn't find them.😁 There is a bit of Roman history in the village which has come up during official digs as the area is known for its silver.Also there are medievil lime kilns in...

    Drone photography.

    Combe Martin in north Devon,once held the world record for the longest street party.The spit of rocks going across the bay was put there as a barrier in medievil times to protect ships that were moored.....it used to be a lot higher but has been battered over the years by storms reducing it to...

    Drone photography.

    This is Watermouth cove.The tower is thought to be some sort of lookout tower associated with the castle in the background and it was used as a lookout tower in WW2.The castle is not old and was built in the 19th C but it may have been built on the site of a temporary Roman marching...

    Brilliant technology,makes you wonder how many government drones are flying out of earshot keeping an eye on us.🤔

    Drone photography.

    This is Bordesley Abbey....most of what is left is still under the field and has not been excivated.It was built in the 1200's and was out of use by the late 1500's.The grid like structure to the right of the main ruins was the Abbey infirmary.The stone coffin was the final resting place of a...

    Drone photography.

    This is St Leonards church in Beoley,warwickshire,England.Dating back to the Norman period in the 1100's but built on the site of an earlier saxon church.The fields surrounding the church were detected by a friend of mine and myself with Saxon,Roman and Medieval artefacts being found as well as...

    This is St Lawrence church in a place called Bidford on Avon in Warwickshire,England.It dates from the 1200's with one part being from the 1100's.To the right of the church down by the river,was the original crossing of Ryknield street (now ickneild street),the original ford used by Roman...

    Just bought a Quattro

    The quattro was my first "higher tech" detector when I first got back into the hobby many years ago.I chucked a coiltek platypus coil on mine and had great success with it.........it was often seen as the poor man's explorer but in reality it's performance was just as good but in a simplified...

    Been watching them for 20 days so far.

    So you disturbed a nest and ran a chick down just to see if you could.......don't get a job in conservation for God's sake.🤬

    Drone photography.

    Recently bought a drone......worth considering as they open up a lot of photographic opportunities you may not otherwise have.
