  2. My mate did a tribute to john a famous British treasure hunter ,with a super vintage clip Enjoy RR
  3. 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!!!! RR
  4. My mate Magus did a few videos on the beaches Check him out at: R R
  5. Mine is 12 years old absolutly battered to death but still work.Best part is you can change all parts on it. RR
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. The Axe heads could have been restored and flogged on ebay.......with a bit of history RR
  9. One f my mate is buying frames on boot sale(Garage sales in the US),remove the crap pictures and use the frame to dispaly finds and sell them on ebay or on the sale boot sales........... RR

  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
