    Pinpointers Minelab Pro-Find (35) or Garrett Pro Pointer (AT)

    Ok guys, I'm after advice again. Although I've stuck to beach detecting so far which doesn't require pinpointer (finds are always in the scoop). I'll be hitting soil areas before long so will be needing a pin pointer. following advice from this site I settled on the MineLab Nox 600 as my...

    So, like many I suspect I was drawn to this hobby by the wealth of YouTube videos showing multiple finds and regular treasure discoveries. There are also lots of threads on here from other experienced detectorists too (who undoubtable put lots of effort into research before heading out to a...

    Finds Bag for beach wading

    Just wandering what others are using for a finds bag when they are wading waist deep ? I've picked up a cheap ebay one but it doesn't let the water run through it. I don't bother out of the water and just drop in my cargo side pockets. Thanks Steve

    Newcastle Beach Newb

    Hello all, I thought i'd put a first post up to say Hi. I've been considering metal detecting for what feels like years but it never got to the top of my toy list. A couple of months back i decided to make it happen and started researching detectors, my anticipated destination was mainly going...
