It seems You're alone doing the cleaning there...

I won't think high discrimination can avoid to dig such pieces.

You're maybe in a virgin land..What a dream. 

not really at least 5 guys i know in my area who regularly metal detect the thing is i live in a holiday area in summertime its crowded with tourists who came for holiday and they usualy drop stuff.

Well...You made it all in one hunt😂 payed back for the month of research.

In almost 18 years I found just one wedding band of 11.1 grams and trust me, I was shocked.

Well done.

 

thank you after this one i found very interesting gold ring's but not big as this 

this one is also from 1 day hunt in 2021 summer 

hi to all im currently using the equinox 600 and considering upgrading to nokta legend i only metal detect underwater so the underwater performance of the machine is very important to me also the customer support is very important too unfortunately minelab is an export machine in my country and the parts of it are very hard to find in my country fox example the koss headphones is very hard to find in here etc etc what are your thoughts is it worth getting the legend ?

Welcome to the forum Turhan!

I had the pleasure of visiting your country in the 90s when I was in the Army. I got to see quite a bit of it from Ephesus to the Black Sea. I am familiar with your country's strong protection of artifacts, we weren't able to bring anything back with us 😀

At least you can search the beaches and water, knowing the rich history of your country there may even be random old finds there. Be careful!

I too have an Equinox 600, and use it a lot. It's a great detector. I wish you the best of luck in all you do. 👍

thank you in the water its pretty much same law in the land you can't metal detect any historical site or find any lost valuable if law enforcement got you while you detect in historical site they take your device and fine you with money so only thing to do is metal detect for lost jewellery which is fine by me 🙂

Welcome Turhan,

How interesting you live in a country that has one of the main manufactuers of metal detectors yet you're not allowed to detect there on land, that is a surprise.   It's a wonder Nokta's focus wasn't on water detectors.

I hope all is going well for you over there, seems a pretty tough place to live at the moment.

 

thank you for your concern living in here is very difficult like you said in the other hand goverment didn't allow to metal detect on land becouse there are so many artifacts and treasures left in turkey waiting to be found my guess is they are keeping it for themselves lol 

im from turkey and the status in here is very bad 

the prices are going high every single day i guess if it goes like this the country will be over soon..

Welcome, Turhan!  Please tell us a bit more about your detecting experiences, equipment, and goals/plans.  I know you have a lot of history there just awaiting discovery.  Nokta/Makro user?

i usually metal detect all the day till sun dawn i work heavily in summer and im usually idle in the winter becouse i dont have a car to travel arround im using a minelab equinox 600 my goal is keep this job till i can't 🙂  becouse of the economical status of my country one of the best job is metal detect in here on your own

Hello to you in Turkey.  It is good to have you here.

What types of things can you find there in your parks and beaches?

Mitchel

hello mate in here it's forbidden to metal detect on any land soil but its completely free to metal detect underwater or near the beach unless its a archelogical site i usually detect for lost gold rings jewellerry stuff etc i found lots of gold rings and silvers 

i use nokta makro's 3in1 extended sand scoop and im very happy with it its very durable and solid i even move rocks with it inside the water
