i did it as my main hobby for over 40 years ,made some substantial finds in that time .a few hordes ,9 gold coins enough stuff to fill a museum in fact .gave up 5 years ago but tried again last year and had to give up again due to dodgy knees and galloping old age .it can be quiet lucrative but is also full of a lot of very dodgy characters due to the large sums of money involved for good finds ,so take care ,trust no one .
Funniest short series on TV of late "Detectorists"
Award winning sitcom staring Toby Jones & Mackenzie Crook.
If this series got you in to detecting DTH58 then I'm not alone. If you've no idea what I'm referring to then try and get chance to see a few episodes it's brilliantly written classic Brit Comedy.
Oh! "the black fox" is spot on with advice, as depicted in the TV series.
OH bought one two years ago.Took it to Dyffryn beach and found some iron ore and an old spoon.
We went to Dawlish and remember when the spring tides took down the sea wall? well it took all the sand off for 24 hours and a guy there was metal detecting he foud a few bits.He said you should declare them in case the owners turn up but it could be any obscure web page that no one is going to find.
