dytkos 17,530 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 Know a few the MD club used to meet in my local. They said it was more interesting (than rewarding) researching the items they found. Another chap, not a club member lol has found coins he's sold totalling 3 or 4 grand but he's an oil delivery driver and visits loads of farm so he's got lots of permo Cheers, D. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mackem 23,675 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 It's a good hobby Interesting Out in the fresh air BUT if you think your going to hit it Big youv as much chance winning the lotto For me it's finding stuff and second guessing who lost it ' how ect ect You can increase your chances of better finds if you look into the History of where your detecting. Amen to that,i remember a few years back detecting pattaya beach and repulse bay in honkers in the early hours of the morning,found a few 24k items of jewellery,its all about research.

steve66 3,077 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Hard game beach detecting in the UK , but when the beaches are stripped of sand after a storm , the finds are there 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Seeker 3,048 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Just read up on the Deus XP, it seems to be a quality machine but quite expensive. Is it a machine a beginner would/could use or would a Garret 250 be a better choice? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 20,804 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Iv been on quite a few club digs and even massive rallies with my 250 and it always held its own. Of course other detectors are better, just like a purdy is better than a biakal but at the end of the day it's the effort you put in. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIDO.1 20,804 Posted December 20, 2015 Report Share Posted December 20, 2015 Personally I'd get a 250 and if you enjoy it then get what ever type of detector takes your fancy. Buy a second hand 250 and sell it for what you paid for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
