mackem 23,827 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Learning to fly a microlight,got a lesson next week,its a long protracted process for me,mechanically I aint the brightest,got a metal detector in storage in the UK an old minicab found all-sorts with it in the past,nowadays theres a whole range that cost up to 4 thousand quid fitted with GPS so you can pinpoint your exact find location when you download your days route and info onto your laptop when your home,fascinating hobby if your into history even though people view detectorists as anoraks They won't be laughing when you dig to a signal and that million quids worth of coins shows gold in the bottom of the hole mate,be lucky 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I subscribed to the searcher yesterday but im yet to read a copy. There's a dedicated detectorist forum too which is full of all the info you could ever need. Can't wait to find a real bit of history. A medieval Henry VIII hammered coin is what I'm aiming for. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
