Almost three years ago after a stroke I bought a metal detector. I could not walk but believed that it could motivate me to recover some mobility.
Well this is a continuing story, I might not be hopping, skipping or jumping and ten yards is a long, long way but I continue to live in hope.
I got out to the beach, took a look around, and decided I might be able to get around with my rollator, even use the detector eventually.
It was great to be out and I want to share it.
I’ve yet to find or even look for bullion, but there is treasure out there. I know it.
These pictures will have to do for now. Click on them to get a closer look.
The plane, looks like a heavy bomber, appears to be flying by the silhouette of a New York skyline. There must be connections with America here most probably from the war years.
The metal detector, leaning against a wall, awaits impatiently for a day out.
This is a live story, there is more to tell, so keep a look out.
@Bobbi i firmly believe that budding detectorist is not far from being an actual dectorist & that treasure is out there waiting for you to discover it. I look forward to seeing pics of that discovery.
Thanks for sharing your beach pics. Days like today are made for the beach.
‘The sculpture represents the transatlantic flight of Henry ‘Dick’ Merrill, an American aviator who, in 1937, completed a round trip from New York to England and back flying a Lockheed Electra.’
I know I’m not the only one on this forum with a metal detector and without revealing the exact place of that huge hoard of gold you found I bet there are stories, tips and all sorts of relevant information that would interest a budding detectorist like myself.
Please please share what you know, with photos, maps, drawings or what have you. This is an interesting subject.
Hi Bobbi,
I thought I was the only brave enough to admit my metal detecting fetish. I also enjoy detecting and if your ever down Cornwall give me a shout. I’m trying to save up for a better detector (Viking VK20 currently) eye up a Mine Lab X terra Pro.
Good luck my friend!
What ya got?
Mine is a lesser detector, not one generally talked about, an Edgetek Pro.
It, I hope will do as a starter.
Cornwall is a lovely area but a long long way from my home in the North of England.
I am only just starting but hoping it will get me out in the fresh air.
