I take it you dealt with Regtons ?
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![]()
Have you bought a Euro Ace and pinpointer (plus other bits and bobs)![]()
That's the one so if I can't find anything it'll be your faultI 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

Re: Metal detecting
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

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
