I've got to find some new land, the place I used to go is owned by Severn trent and apparently they don't allow detecting :cry:
Was in a club and used to go to a few meets but they start detecting at daybreak and don't stop until dark :shock: I like detecting but not that much :lol: :lol: On site in the dark and stay until dark.

They never stopped to just have a brew and chat, it was detecting until lunch, eat it as fast as possible then start detecting again :o

Going to give one a go then ? Looks like they're OK doesn't it ? I'd like to speak to a few users myself before committing to laying out the money but the reviews seem OK.

Trouble with reviews, as they say themselves, they've been given these and we don't know if they're biased or not. I doubt they would actually blatantly lie, maybe more just miss a few bits out :roll:

There's only one way to find out , buy it and see. From what I've read it will work pretty good even if not quite up to what the reviews say :thumbup: Don't think you can go far wrong by the looks of it.


Having said that .................. I'm not selling my pro pointer and changing just yet :lol: :lol:


Not a fat lot of help am i really :lol: :lol: :lol:
