kanny 21,731 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 If you find something really old best leave it dirty Unless you know how to clean stuff proper you de value the goods. Imagine been able to detect Glastonbury two days post Festivel Over the years money gold silver you name it will have been lost and ground into the mud. Saying that you'd get sick of digging up fecking tent pegs and cans lol my sister use to clear up after the big festivals unbelievable the stuff they would find phones wallets drugs loads of drugs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trappa 518 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Depends on whether it's for inland or beach or both cushtyjook. Minelab xterra series are very good machines for beginners, as is the Garrett ace . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trappa 518 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I'd go for a minelab xterra, brilliant machine that misses very little and very easy to use. I didn't like my garrett, found it poor over iron infested areas but it's each to their own. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 518 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 You should find a 305 on eBay for 150-200. Might get a 30 or a 50 for less even. You'll pick an ace 250 up for 100 but it won't be long before you want to upgrade, no need with the xterra. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 3,769 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Been detecting quite a few years, use a tesoro rapier and whites m6 for land and a sov get for beach 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 518 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I've a sovereign gt for the beach too Steve, it can't be beat. I've a deus for inland, don't think I would detect with anything else now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 3,769 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 I like to sov mate, paired up with a 15 " [BANNED TEXT] coil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trappa 518 Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Cover some ground with that beast. I've a standard coil on the gt, do a lot of detecting on the beach where an even smaller coil would be better than big. Got a 11" on my deus though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
