My original generic ebay sourced stainless scoop ended up busting most of the welds when I started encountering rocks (where a lot of the good stuff hides). Ended up buying a more solid stainless unit from South Africa with cylindrical bucket and full stainless handle welded to to the bucket.

Perfect for the local park!😬

This hunt was from back in Sept, probably had a half dozen attempts at liberating finds around an old stone cottage in the past with good success. Despite getting the feeling that finds were becoming hard to locate, still pays to stick to your guns and concentrate of those deeper and dodgier...

Finally got around to editing some pictures from a couple of hunts last year. First one was detecting a friend's property in an 1800's hamlet just out of town. His residence used to be an old bakery and later a roadhouse, so I was expecting a fair bit of junk in the ground. Armed with the...

Aahh, must also dust the Deus off and get back into it! Still have to post finds from a few months ago.

Liking the Legend so far compared to what you have used in the past?

Nice finds, beach detecting is probably the most relaxing form of the hobby - not so much junk to deal with.

Thanks guys, has been pretty quiet this year due to work, covid and lack of motivation. Feel much better now after a couple of digs, feels like life is starting to resemble something near normal. ;)

The second house site I have not visited since owning my Minelab Explorer SE Pro years ago, so probably worth having another shot with a faster machine. This site has actual ruins on it, so it has definitely been hit by many detectorists over the years - though not exactly easy due to the...

Finally got out for two consecutive hunts at two seperate house sites, both dated from the Victorian era onwards. First house site I discovered a whioe ago near an existing 1800's site that had produced 1860's and later coinage, only found it due to noticing out of place vegetation growing...

Can't believe it has been so long since I've been out for a swing, work has been getting in the way lately, amongst other things. Packed up the Nox with 6" coil fitted to hit a ww2 era site for the umpteenth time, the small coil really does a good job at unlocking some previously masked finds...

It's good fun going over old ground with new detectors or coils, much prefer that than static tests to prove/disprove the performance of new gear.

Just some results from a night detect on an early to mid 1900's site - easy detecting, sandy soil though a freezing night with some rather numb hands. Despite going over the site many times in the past, I still managed to find a new patch that was missed previously. Bit of everything really...

Just a quick trek from yesterday on an 1800's site, not much to show other than the 1865 Vic hp and several buttons, some of which are derived from local tailors. Also yet another pocket knife on its very last legs, a folding ruler hinge and plenty of nasty and annoying tin. :argh: All found...

Yep, get used to finding plenty of those, especially when relic detecting old sites. Having fun is the name of the game, and a great hobby to share with the kids. :D

Yesterday I went back to the inn site, though didn't have much luck after a few hours of gridding, so off to a "plan B" site with the renments of an old stone cottage to poke around. Once again I pulled out the Equinox with that great 6" coil, and proceded to scan the surrounds for new patches...

Has been such a long time since I last posted, I had to go back through my thread to see where I last left off. :argh: Anyway, I have only done a couple of hunts, starting to get back into it now I am on annual leave. First two localities were the usual ex-forestry sites with the Deus and HF...

What a lovely coin Silver, a dream find! :o

That coach nameplate is a cool traceable piece of history, also like your silver pendant - keep up the good work (or should I say play)! :perfect:
