That's great :thumbup: did you bother with a pointer in the end?

I haven't been out for (what seems like) ages. Was rough for a couple of days and now got a fencing job on :roll: . looking forward to hearing how you get on with it...

No just the detector, I will get the pinpointer soon tho, just sell some more eBay stuff and use the funds from that, that's what I did to fund the metal detector.

Nice one G :thumbup: very impressive :clap:

I've been meaning to post a pic of my bucket of junk finds but I think I'll resist the urge after seeing the impressive success you've had. The garret certainly does the job hey ;)
