• Slight tenuous link to this thread but here goes. I don’t think I’m the only guy who fell in love with The Detectorists on the BBC and after one too many Friday drinks ended up with a secondhand metal detector from EBay.
    My collection of buttons and general crap begins here, all dug up in our garden this arvo. No gold dance was performed.

  • Brilliant!! I have always wanted a metal detector, very jealous.

    Out of interest, how much did it cost.........

  • Cheers, it wasn’t cheap because I wanted one that could detect GOLD!(always believe in…). It’s a Minelab 800 but the reason it was a bit cheaper was the instructions and buttons are all in Russian lol. I just downloaded the manual from the web and got a replacement screen cover.

    @ltc Apparently that’s a ‘brass sexfoil stud’ as used in upholstery. You bet I joined a metal detecting forum.
