it's something I have always wanted to do but never got around to it..been looking at detectors recently too but not pushed the button to buy one..lol
I have always wanted to do it but there’s so much time money and kit involved.
It just seems like something I would buy but then only do a handful of times before it gets put in the garage.
There were a few lads on here that did it I can’t remember who it was for the life of me but always posting finds.
It was always a good read and seeing what they found.
I've detected for 4 years , found 3 roman hoards, medieval and Celtic gold. I'll post some photos up
Gold coin is a full whadden chase stater of the trinovantes tribe. 2050 years old
Roman coins are a mix of empire and republic
Don't get wrong impression though, a lot of what detectorists find is junk
I still detect once a week.
No longer working offshore.i came ashore almost 4 years ago now and now work as a senior marine engineer for Cefas , I still on on research surveys now and again but not as much as I used too.:)

I found this while out metal detecting, is it worth anything? ;)
Aaaand we are back!
:D
As you know me for one, sold my CTX3030 and purchased a Deus 2.
anyone got any advice on starter setup/machines then please?
I've seen Nokta, minelab go find, garrett ace etc but not sure what would be the best 'all rounder' type
Money is the key bit but I would look for a 2nd hand machine plenty of bargains about.
A good machine for starters is the Minelab Equinox 800.
If your on a budget then look at the minelab vanquish series
Then upgrade to a minelab equinox 600 or 800
I then got a Deus , then a Deus II
My first detector was the Minelab 800 (sold that) then I had the CTX3030 (sold it) and now I have the Deus 2 because it’s lighter in weight, good simple setup and great ratings.
If I add a forum for metal detecting will it be used?
Hell yeah .I'll post up all the crap I find lol
