Light Weight Foot Digger In The Works
Rivers rat replied to kac's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
If i may 2/3 things: 1) the design is great depending of course of soil condition,i really like the fact that the "Digging Energy" will be focused on a narrow surface . 2)The handle : is it designed to be carry on your shoulder???as if it was to be dragged the abnormal position of your wrist will hurt after a while. 3) are you planning to build a larger model? 4) a wider foot rest wont hurt 5) i like it!!!!

Correct! RR

Ever Regretted Selling A Detector?
Rivers rat replied to The Georgiadigger's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
For my part it may be the bandido 2 Umax and the Vista Gold with 5" coil BUT we cant keep them all do we :) Got many at the moment and the thing is they are harder to sell by the time they are staying in my workshop :) RR -
Ever Regretted Selling A Detector?
Rivers rat replied to The Georgiadigger's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Vic Fiveash was his name i met him and visited his shop/house in 2000/2001 i think,he was living in Peckam SE london 10 min drive from me ,it was also said that he was a prestidigitator..........but far from me the idea of tarnishing his memory .I bought a MKII years ago with a 5"coil and it didnt make miracle on the Thames,trust me. But somehow the machine had very good performances.Some said his designs were clone of Tesoros,last and not least i also heard his design were sold to a company from western Europe.I m in touch with a guy in France who recently bought 2 and was looking for parts........recently a 5" coil came out on ebay and was snatched in a sec RR RR -

2021 - A Look Ahead
Rivers rat replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I agree but aren't all manufacturer the same????? they need the hype :) The hoard hunter is a delicate one as when you hunt hoards it aint anymore a hobby....... RR -
Hello to all and Happy New year it all started well as one the beach i hunt seems to have been cleaned of the loose sand by the recent storm,glad i could use my MDT after his minor repair .Did again some deep stuff ,the lamp bulb socket and the pyramidal lead where at 40/45 cm i tried to max out the machine and it was fun.As you can see lots of brass junk missed by others but i guess they did get the gold😃😃😆😆 Then the car gearbox decided it was time to die and the lockdown PART III started.... 😄😄😍🤣 Enjoy RR

2021 - A Look Ahead
Rivers rat replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
Hello and Happy New Year! I m pretty sure XP will release something soon,those guys aren't sleeping.i will put my bet for April........The fact that we are so spoiled for choice make me wonder where will i put my money next if i do as i realised that the Nox on the beach is very very good,The Tarsacci another very good one. For my type of research on the Thames i ve got all of the best/fast and selective machine. I ll get the 12" coil for the MDT when it comes out and should use my G5c more,Covid restriction out of the way of course! RR -
