Nuke em

While i'm waiting for mine i am finding lots on the beaches , last night i found another Gold without the Equinox !

The weather is from the South tomorrow , that might ruin the beaches ? unless you are going to the North Kent coast or maybe a coastline that has a glancing blow from the sea . Getting fed up with Southerlies , especially long tide ones.

Was there an armed guard ?

I went back today for a while at mid day and found another £10.48p and a 1892 Victoria Shilling . Thats me done for the week . Work tomorrow and Wednesday at my dealer to pick up my first of two Equinox 800 then its work till Sunday . Roll on Sunday , back to the beach with my Explorer 11 . Its like a damned Vulcan or to Americans B52 on the beach .

We think the same as you about driving on the wrong side of the road . Very dangerous practices you foreigners have . I would be all over the show trying to get round you all ! As for this Country . Its ........... and i dont mean by Brexit , by to many elitist scumbags out to make money off its back . If your a patriot here you are weird and racist . Sorry for the Politics but its true and the young have fallen for the con hook line and sinker .

Pay them into your bank account if a UK one. Or just give me them LOL

This is my second hunt for this month , my first was on the 5th when i had £8.01p and the beach was mostly quiet for finds due to the depth of sand and stones on the beaches. Today i went for a 9am start and worked the tide out , its a very short tide and i didn't expect much though there was a bit of bad weather last week and on Friday i had a dodgy gut so couldn't make then and yesterday i was busy. I travelled a long way West which is what i have been doing for a while now and walking all the way back to the center of the City . As soon as i got there and saw the beach i thought something was different . It was good and then i saw holes , damn i thought i have missed it all . I know of 1 other detectorist that works that part of the beach and he uses a CTX . I took my Explorer 11 . I got started and within a few minutes i was hitting coins , he missed many ! So started what i call carpet bombing the beach as when i look back it looks like i have bombed the Hell out of it with hole marks all over the place. For the first quarter mile i was digging more crap that good targets but as i got nearer to my usual hot spots that changed and my targets were getting close to 90% good targets with coins every few feet at times . By the time i got to my main beaches i thought i was going to see the finds rate drop like it has for the last couple of months there but it didn't and in places i was finding more and with less than an hour left for me to search i found a Silver ring my third for the year and then the coins kept coming . Till i got to a new wooden groin that has been put in then it all went quiet , at the same time i saw a man with XP ADX 150 i think it was or something like that and i thought right its time for food and home . When i got to the top of that part of the beach i looked over the concrete groin and saw my mate Allan with his Fisher 1236 and chatted to him for a bit , i showed my finds to him and said he should go to the beaches i have searched and use his smaller coil to cane the beach further . There are lots of nails all over the place and it makes thing hard . After raiding a shop for some food and drink i got the Bus home . I finished the search at around 2.30pm . My total for today were the Silver ring , a large pre Decimal Penny and 2 pre Decimal Half Pennies , a 1 Euro , 2 other Foreign coins and £68.56p in spendable coinage including 23 old style £1 coins that aren't legal tender now but can be banked into my account . I am in 2 minds about tomorrow but i might get a call from my dealer about the Equinox and want to be ready to go and collect it so Wednesday might be my next day out . And that will be with the Explorer 11 as well . Till i have sussed the Equinox and settings i wont shove into the breach my dear friends . Both pictures of both searches for this month so far.

I would do videos but when i am out i dont carry any unnecessary baggage . Except for my getting fat belly that is. My finds from today will show you why i dont get time . When i put them up.

Now come on dont lie , she is watching over your shoulder watching what you type LOL

There are those just like them . But i think the program makes us look weird . Even if one of the actors detects . Only a detectorist really understands detecting . Wish there was a lot more detecting in the program , maybe they could have found a real hoard LOL And a bit more Rachael Stirling too ! Remember her from the TV series Tipping the Velvet . Very saucy .

I never used the dual freq coil on my Terra's . Not that i wouldn't but i couldn't get hold of one . Nel coils are tough and work well but it all depends on where you are willing to send the cheque . I prefer to buy direct from the dealer . I have a Nel Hunter coil for my FBS machines . The only thing i would be careful of is the tight fit of the stem , i think they come with thinner stem bolt washers so they can fit properly .Not sure as i mixed up all my spares and nearly broke the coil lugs before realising what i was doing and remembering that i had thinner washers . Close call.

Selling the stems , coil arm cup and any other bits can get money for your next machine . Unless you decide to get it fixed . But they are a bit pricey to fix. Worries me every time i am on the beach with mine.

Dont just bin the machine . Sell every last bit of it you can .

I have Tuesday off. Will hit the beach but might cheat on the Equinox and hang out with Miss Explorer 11

Photography is linked to my other past time . Military, mostly Naval . And that rare these days. Work and detecting and things here and there are all I get time for.

I do beaches 99% of the time. Land is hard to come by and clubs here ? Nah not in my area.

Thats me single for life then round here . They all look as detectorists like we are weirdos in my neck of the woods.

You Americans might be getting it cheap . Check out UK dealers and convert the £ price to $ price . No wonder we are poor . Bloody VAT .

I am single so i just say to my right hand here's something else to grab. Sorry !

I should have mine by Wednesday though may not be out till a week later at the earliest . Wont be videoing but will tell what i find .

Air tests are as reliable as chocolate teapots . You never get in ground what you get in air . If you do an air test then have someone at the box end too . When the sound dips and the number waiver then thats max depth in ground and thats if the ground is not bad. Still the machine does look good .

Since i posted on the 18th i have been out 3 times but haven't found any more gems . I went out early in the morning and worked the tide out each time , all the beaches are either building up now or are very quiet . The first of the 3 trips i used my Explorer XS and found £13.00p exactly . The second trip out i took the Explorer 11 and it was a better search , conditions weren't that much better but small areas had changed which enabled me to pull out £33.95p and a 2 Euro coin and a coin which i haven't identified . Today i took the Explorer 11 as well and found only £8.47p , i didn't stay out as long as it was obvious all the beaches were hopeless , i was lucky to find what i did . All of it other than a very few coins were high in the dry . Thats my lot for this month . Total for this month was just over £166 , 1 Gold and 2 Silver rings for 7 trips out , my first trip isn't on here . That was on the 6th and had £13.20p. My next trip is in a weeks time , though i will be missing the long tides . But that doesn't matter much , the long tides mess the beaches up at times so i will be happy to hit the beaches after the peak tides.

What does he look like LOL . As for the video , i know feel that without doubt it will work on salt beaches . As for comparing it to other machines ? Compare the price of a CTX / ET to the Equinox and then think what if Minelab have made a machine that matches the earlier machines , if so we are in for a fantastic time when we get the machines.

That is one of the 3 UK testers . He is Neil Jones (Slow and Low) .

Went out a couple days ago but only had £13 . Then went out today and had another £34 and a 2 Euro coin . I wont put on here my finds unless i get a ring or other Gem , had 5 £2 pound coins in the total today. Just wish all the beaches in my area were good , i had to walk miles to get that total today.
