Born Hunter 17,960 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 My mate has had one for a few months now, every week he shows me something new he has found. Old paper weights, coins, buttons, a musket ball and last night he showed me what we think is the end of a WWII AA shell, but unconfirmed as of yet. Quite interesting but not my thing at all. A lot of history in our area dating back to the Romans so it's not a bad place for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

steve66 3,804 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Seen plenty of people find lots of interesting stuff with reasonably cheap machines ( not the Chinese ones though ) over the years Garret aces are quite good value for money and are easy to sell on if you want to up grade or give up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you are saying Moll. a pal has one and is digging up old ring pulls and the like, so far he has had a few Musket balls and picked up a few quid around the beaches. this is the make I like, they seem to cover everything you would want from a Detector and would discriminate between the rubbish and the good stuff .......... http://www.joanallen.co.uk/minelab-explorer-se-pro-metal-detector-p/10371.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,793 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Had a discussion about them a short while ago http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/227764-metal-detecting/page__view__findpost__p__2369280 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
