:lol: I take it you dealt with Regtons ? They're not only a very good company to deal with but also a nice company to deal with, the two don't always go hand in hand but when they do it's good :thumbup:

Have you bought a Euro Ace and pinpointer :thumbup: (plus other bits and bobs) :lol:

Don't forget to post pics of your treasure finds :thumbup: I can see a nvuk forum treasure hunt coming on, members only of course :clap:

Yes they were very helpful. I've been meaning to get one for years but I just needed someone to say "that's what you need, from there" so Thanks Rod :thumbup:

That's the one so if I can't find anything it'll be your fault :lol: I didn't buy any other bits and bobs but they threw in a couple of extra bits. I've just got to get a smaller bucket for the digger now, I'm allergic to wooden handles, especially shovels :shock: :lol:

The first treasure find will be a pin out of a machine. It'll be the most feckin expensive pin I've ever bought! :lol:

There was a series on sky a little while ago with a couple of bell ends going round old battlefields and places like that with metal detectors , it was interesting but one of them had a habit of screaming at the top of his voice , doing head over heels and running round the field like he had scored the winning goal in the world cup everytime he found something that wasn't a rusty beer can :roll:

Watched that a couple of times :roll: he wants the detector ramming where the sun don't shine :thumbup: :shock:

Remember, slowly slowly catchy monkey :thumbup: If the detector doesn't go across it then it will never find it :think:
Flat to the ground, as low as possible but as high as necessary and advance 1/2 a coil a time maximum. (especially for small stuff as the search coil forms a flattened cone, sort of like opening the top of an envelope to the size of the coil but the bottom stays narrow :crazy: . If you can understand that). You want the search pattern to overlap :thumbup:
