Metal detecting

Golden Year Best Finds Treasure Hunting 2016 Metal Detecting and Magnet Fishing Scotland, Rewinding the best moments of the year.

 

forget magnets,all you will get is fishing weights and spinners....silver and gold and most coins are not magnetic.

 

Its like anything....you can pay anything from 150-6000.....iv seen guys find * loads with machines costing around 150-200..

 

My partner has a friend who does this. They are in some group that go out and ask farmers permission to metal detect on their property. Not sure if they are checking the history of these sites first.

 

yer right.

 

Good wee comedy on this hobby.

not done it for quite a few years but with a cheap detector and a trowel and spade out the shed I hit lucky in the field beside me and found 4 roman coins and a broatch from a tunic (all roman); excited as * I cleaned them up and took them to an antique place in Carlisle for a valuation thinking they`d be worth thousands and Time Team would be pitching up to a do a televised dig however was offered £2 a coin and £4 for the broatch. Seemingly very common and not worth much.

Carried on with random searches but only ever found some old horse shoes and randon lumps of metal. Might actually look the gear out again as it was quite good fun and killed a few hours at the weekend

 

Culloden Battlefield is the place to go if youve got a metal detector. At night time tho, coz its not allowed. The place is desolate at night tho

 

Knowing my luck I'd head up to the black mountain get a loud Beeb, crack ma spade into the soil, hit a detonator next to 600 rounds of 50mm ammunition next to 100kg of Semtex and create a new feckin quarry.
