This addiction is running at 100 percent currently. Found an old key and some coppers.. Can anyone tell me how to put them on paydirt? Thanks. Snowdrop.

That's the ticket, never think somewhere has been completely hunted out, different conditions, different machines, different styles, different direction etc..... One day.... (as a wise detectorist said to me last night) people will be thrilled when they find a penny. Darn plastic money! So enjoy it while it lasts folks but don't be stupid about it!

Might end up being able to do a bit of night detecting again in the next few weeks myself :D

Been waaaaay to long since i last swung the detector -_-
Bank balance is looking better now tho ;)

I'm on a CPIT course in town to 5pm from the 4th to the 15th of August, will throw the detector in the boot.
Check out my BLOG : Its where i post my finds :D
