    Bought my machine

    Thanks mate. I know its a common piece, but to find it first hunt, with the kids, and to know it's aged 75 years, it's pretty cool to me. Cheers.

    Any thoughts on how to give it a shine, or is it just not worth it?

    Bought my machine

    Thanks heaps for the reply 7.62marksman. I'm still away, so limited web access. I had a quick look at the link, but can't seem to see the relevant markings listed as per this shell. I'll look tomorrow when I get back. Thanks again. :)

    Bought my machine

    Hello everyone. Well, during the week I bought my first ever proper detector. I ended up choosing the Ace 300i. Given I have nothing to compare it to, I'm so far very happy at how easy it is to use, even the kids have been able to have a crack. We have been camping this weekend and whilst...

    Yes it's a hard choice isn't it. Looking to buy my first for myself and the kids so after something that's easy to use. I've been reading a bit, and looking at the ace 250 but not certain either. Happy hunting.

    Hello I am very new to all of this. I have young kids and we camp a fair bit so pretty keen to get into some fossicking for bits and pieces whilst we are out and about. Based in W.A, I'm trying to learn so I can buy some of the right gear and make some memories with the family. Thanks for...

    Hello all. Numpty, I came across this thread while searching the web about coin fossicking. I am very interested by your finds, and was wondering if you ever updated your metal detector? If so, which did you end up with. Many thanks.
