Hello.... thanks for this thread....as a novice female, I have just bought 2 5w uhf units for when I am out bush.... I almost got lost last time I went out.... no phone coverage.... scared myself! So, take a unit with me, and leave one with someone else. Happy Hunting

Today, I made a small boy really happy, and myself in the process! I was detecting on the beach, with Nox 800 and Sita sand scoop. I found 5c, and announced that to a woman and a small boy. She came over, and asked if I could find coins, as the boy had lost his pocket money in the sand. We went...

My first find, ever, in my backyard, similar to another members post.
