Why do beginners give up metal detecting? Metal detecting UK # 98

[@JohnDoeRando]

The way i look at it, I'm just getting junk out of the ground with a chance of finding cool stuff.

[@pluey200]

I am a beginner metal detector and have only found 2 things so far: a 2012 P union shield penny and an empty beer can

[@raymondpickering2209]

detectorIST ... lol..

[@dtp0119]

So 4 years later.. do you still metal detect?

[@blinderb1032]

I have only found junk but it's fun because my daughter and I are spending time together exploring. She could be sitting at home staring at her iPad.

[@noahway13]

And it will instill in her a love for the outdoors.

[@breakit46]

You have the best attitude for metal detecting, you have already found gold just by being out on the land. Alive i tell ya.

[@Addictedtobleeps]

Thank you :)

[@1970pizza]

Took up metal detecting 2 wks ago , i bought myself an XP Deus , I know the odds of findings gold/silver coins are about the same odds as winning the Lottery . I bought this metal detector to find iron , steel or whatever of lesser value . I just want to find something interesting now and again , I like the feeling that when i find something i think to myself " someone stood on this very spot " wither it be 50 , 100 or maybe more years ago . It gives me the goosebumps

[@Addictedtobleeps]

Hi, Peter! Actually, the chances of you finding silver is pretty high. Gold, a little less so. You've got a brilliant machine there, and it's only a matter of time. But yes, the historical stuff is as interesting, or even more interesting in other ways.

[@Ponk_80]

i'm just in it for the fun :) i'm not expecting to find anything expensive, i think it's just fun to see what people drop

[@habeebcisse5762]

Ponk 80 me and my cousin just got a metal detector with our joint money, it arrives tomorrow. I totally agree with you, we're not in it for the riches, it's just funny to think that some people drop the weirdest stuff and is fun to see the history. Finding £1000000 worth of jewellery would just be a nice little bonus :)

[@elbolillo2703]

When I'm metal detecting, I talk to myself with your accent.

[@markrutledge2593]

Watched this months ago, rewatched and still learned something

[@dilarailbiz4468]

This video is awesome! I watch heaps of videos on metal detecting and want to start up, but everyone just shows the rings they find rather then showing how long it took to find that. This video is actually really helpful in the sense that, once I start, I can't just give up because I didn't find "treasure" straight away.

[@Addictedtobleeps]

Hiya! I have a video coming out later today where I show my 'true' finds rate :)

[@raymondpickering2209]

iv been at it 2 an half years ,, find some interestin stuff .. nothing fantastic ware i live .. if you do facebook check out metal detecting crappy finds ,, we have a great laugh but shows its not all about treasure ,, its about getting out and havin fun ,, good luck .. and theres actually some great crap ..

[@petedetects7012]

I share my finds with anyone who's intrested. I pull our my phone a show my finds sometimes in videos other times in pictures . Out of the many who see my finds I'm quick to tell them it's not easy. If you plan to do metal detected be aware that the success rate is very low . Most of the time you'll go home with a pocket full of modern coins . I do say it's about the thrill of the hunt and the chance to be outside and enjoy nature . The reward is exercise and occasionally something spectacular and valuable. Bottom line most people won't do it no matter what . Getting a thrill when you find something valuable is addicting. I find metal detecting very relaxing . Thanks for the video Big Mex from California USA

[@marktmdyorkshire7610]

Always worth a second visit are your older vids. I agree, I have been detecting almost 4 years now, and I honestly thought I'd give up after a few months. But here I am 4 machines in 😁👍 love this hobby. ATB,GL&HH Mark

[@ooz8539]

I've recently started metal detecting I find it a hobby like fishing sometimes you catch something and sometimes you don't but the scenery and just been out there was amazing and the wildlife.. if I guess metal detecting similar you get out there and if you're lucky might get hit and if you're not lucky ..it is good.. like the exercise and just been out there in the environment just amazing and I'm going to keep on metal detecting the exciting thing is you never know what you're gonna get that's why I find it very good adventure p.s. like your KZbin channel you helped me a lot👍😊

[@coin8225]

My parents recently got me a new detector, which is an upgrade from my old detector in which I only found rusty hunks of iron. On the second day of my new detector I found a US 1941 Wheat Penny!

[@SilverSteveDetecting]

I think one of the main reasons is the huge difficulty of finding permissions, even after watching all the guides including yours when I started out it drove me to quit, because every answer was a "no", and after putting in so much effort to go home with several "no" responses for weeks on end was extremely depressing and aided in losing all motivation to continue the hobby. But after several months out, the bug is always there, and I now look for other ways to enjoy the hobby by planning on going to rallies and such, and just hope one day I pick up those permissions :)

[@Aethelbeorn]

I detect to clean up the land a bit. It's interesting what's down there even if it's metal rings from broken bottles.

[@diedewip7912]

This is so true I started metal detecting with a friend we bought a garret together but after searching for about 3 hours he gave up and now 2 years later I am the only one that uses the metal detector and still didn't find anything nice not even a modern coin but just doing metal detecting is something that I love sure it is nice when I find something nice but that's not the reason why I metal detect

[@Carl-ue4vw]

It's typical of today's people, they want immediate rewards without any patience or the need for hard work.

[@cubinglab6332]

What do you mean by 'todays people'?

[@WeDigMetalDetectors]

I have to say that bullet looked like a carved bullet. They used to carve them to make game pieces. That one looked like a bishop from a chess game.

[@DiggerDawn]

Your so right, that beautiful landscape is the real treasure, Id love to dig with you! Your attitude is ace, and that advice was spot on, its not about the finds, take the expectations away and just enjoy being outside. Great video xx

[@Addictedtobleeps]

We'll absolutely do that one day! :)

[@DiggerDawn]

yes we will :-)

[@markw.2958]

Along with high expectations beginners do not detect enough hours to learn their machine...if you can stick with it those first 60 -70 hours your hooked for life.

[@gerfmon1]

I gave up the hobby about 25 years ago. I had a nice White's detector, paid about a grand for it. But it was HEAVY. I've got a bad back, and after 30 minutes of swinging the detector my back would start hurting like crazy. That took all the fun out of it. I gave up and sold the detector. BUT all these years later I've started watching KZbin videos and my interest has peaked again. I bought a nice little Teknetics Delta detector that weighs nothing. Once the ground thaws out I'm going to give it another try. Thanks for the video. :-)

[@dtp0119]

How did it go?

[@Project2013B]

My 2nd hunt was today. Not disappointed by the finds so far, just a little shocked how physically demanding metal detecting is (at least for me since I am sadly out of shape!).

[@neilsumpter549]

Was out yesterday and found loads of horseshoes but still loved every minute👍🏻😃

[@Osmiculture]

Horseshoes are the best. I have 36 after 6 months and every time I get one, my detecting trip feels complete.

[@TheGiantGarrettDetectorist]

Great new permission bleeps. I've been metal detecting for just over 3 weeks now with a Garrett 250. Luckily I live 3 minutes walk from the beach but I have no permissions as of yet but still trying. I have no expectations of life changing treasures but I have lost weight, found £7.30 spendables, 5 fishing weights, Spanish 20 cent, and a pre-decimal half penny that I'm going to olive oil( thanks to your advice). Gl and hh

[@lanceriggott3020]

I was lucky cos I found a silver hammered on my fourth day and that’s what has kept me going just the feeling that I’m gonna get another one

[@jamienew9874]

Couldn't have put it better, exactly what metal detecting is all about for me. Keep up the excellent Vids

[@cogidubnus1953]

Thanks (as always) Kris...as a 62 year old with angina, a trapped sub-ulnar nerve affecting one hand, a dodgy leg and failing (dark glasses stuff) eyesight, thank you for your fascinating stuff All the best Dave (from yhe buggered bit of two half-counties over)

[@Oldblue110]

Great video Kris, I got the same with one of those livestock ear tags. I turned it over saw the gold shining , but when I gave it a wipe it was not to be. Not gold just an ear tag. GL&HH 👍

[@zimmyman564]

I am from Michigan USA and liked your vid i too am very new to metal detecting i have a Bounty Hunter Time Ranger and a Garrett AT Pro Pin Pointer. So far i have found a clad Dime 1983 a toy Truck 1975 and a Copper Lip Stick case from the 1940`s in my back yard.

[@pepprmintpaddi]

ah. yes. You've got it right.. I am new. I've had some issues, I've only been detecting about 5 months of almost a year. And now I'm in a new area with a new detector... so. lots of new adventures coming my way. great videos and adventures.

[@gernkmccory3836]

Mate, great watching you - me and my son have borrowed a right old 1970s cscope and have found a bit of a crashed Spitfire and a 303. That's treasure enough for us! Addicted already. Good luck sir.

[@CanadianDiggersChannel]

Right attitude Kris.. hope everything else works out for you on the production issues. Cheers Don

[@dougjarvis3824]

I am wanting to start this hobby, I have no worries about me giving it up due to lack of finds, my worry is not finding places to metal detect on... That's the only thing that gives me pause.

[@carlcantrell4781]

I love your sense of humor. It is great.

[@DiggingCanuck]

Glad to have found your channel. I have been detecting for about 6 months.

[@richardtarr2745]

I'm always pleased when a video is made showing the hobby 'like it is'. Hoards and other exciting things are not everywhere and many fields seem to contain nothing but old iron junk. Even if there is something, you have to walk over it and swing the detector in exactly the right place to get a signal. People often don't really understand just how small the coil's detecting field is once you get down to six inches or so! Sometimes the iron can mask the good stuff so you have to get the iron out first. I've been detecting for two years on and off and have only just found my first Victorian silver sixpence. Maybe I'm getting the hang of it I thought - and next day I found relatively little but still a naval button from the Napoleonic Wars era. This is one of those 'keep trying' hobbies and if you ask those successful detectorists what they've found the answer will be 'loads of junk and some good stuff - and it took many hours to find the good stuff'. Thanks again for the frank comments.

[@AnthonyCook78]

As soon as I land on a field and find a bit of lead I know I'm onto a winner. Lead gives a really good signal and if someone has missed that then there's other stuff missed too 😍

[@JerGoes]

Great video as always Kris, you're spot on about unrealistic expectations, for me and a good few detectorists I know, the joy isn't in finding 'treasure' tho I like to joke about it, it's finding things that are interesting, even if that is just something I don't know what it is and I go away and research, be it a button, a badge, coin or even a gate hook.

[@caljackal6139]

Me and my brother went metal detecting today and we found a lot of metal but it was deep down... definitely not pipes but we gave up after about 2 hours of digging down, we did manage to find a weird piece of unrusted metal that had slits in and on the back it had some sort of vent kind of thing.

[@estherhriati3262]

I have purchased gofind 66 and gofind 44 alongwith Pro find 35, I have been detecting about 2 years, but no success, but I will continue a gain and again.

[@DonnMckeeCreations]

great video. im very new to hobby, was up at 4am this morning and spent a few hours on a Sussex beach, totally agree with your view of the good exercise and just being out there on a nice day 😊 hope to get out on a Kent farm next week.

[@franktracy7270]

Hi, great video, I've just got my first detector and your right, it's just an excuse to be there. I will certainly adopt your attitude towards this hobby. Thanks

[@markrush5013]

its just the fun of being out and walking the land thats been in my family a hundred years...i find nothing of value but the old parts of farm machines and various horse shoes i find are priceless to me because i know theyre from my ancestors time on this land.

[@douglashurrell4766]

Not very far from you good luck have a good hunt all the best Douglas

[@jimini1976]

Recently bought my first detector.Found my first penny within 3 seconds in my lawn,got me excited. Then a few rusty nails, I'm hooked. Next day nature dumped 4 inches of snow with single digit temps....reason for KZbin. :) I realize the chances of finding a chest of gold coins is slim,especially in upstate NY. For me its another thing to do while enjoying nature. When I see those old bullets come up,I wonder if it could have taken someones life. eeerie feeling. Thanks for the vids.

[@rhyzw]

Yeah chances are slim, even slimmer for you being in USA, I was lucky enough to be born in EU, and even luckier England! Wish me luck buddy!!

[@11111972cjb]

Some people think they will find a fortune and give up after a short while. What you said at the start of your vid is the difference between us and them! We do it for exercise and the outdoors, it's a bonus if we find something. Cheers.

[@freshimpactco.8698]

Great video as usual mate... Well done and love the honesty.

[@ThatsLucy]

I love you sense of humour the huge caterpillar lol plus a few nice finds bonus

[@joeposey158]

As a beginner, I've had good luck and not so good. But, I enjoy the hunt of what's maybe just out of sight. I recently found a ring at a park that a girl had lost some yrs. ago and it was from an old Beau that was lost in Afghanistan . When I gave it to her, well that will keep me hunting. Enjoying your vids. Keep up the good work, Fellow hunter !!

[@hiediking2388]

Thank you for such nice words about starting out as I joined a group and got bullied for just finding old coins found that quite bad as we all start somewhere and I love just being out

[@RandomAsh71]

Easily to see why newbies get disgruntled and give up....they aren't finding treasure........I've found nothing myself on club digs apart from rubbish....still I've enjoyed myself and ive met some really great and cool people...and enjoyed the fresh air..

[@BondiTreasureHunter]

Great video- subbed and liked :) shame about all the bullets on the first field but the second field made up for it. 100 acres is sweet

[@cointector]

Good advice old mate... the finds are just a bonus.. be happy we're breathing 👍🍻🇦🇺

[@plasticdadaii8225]

I hear your words. I always have dreams when I go out, but I am lucky to live near a park that on a good day I share with foxes and deer and geese and turkeys and swallows and orioles and clouds and trees and the elements. Happy Hunting!

[@yo.mama100]

I agree with what he's saying 100% but 303 shells could be valuable if there in okay condition

[@jimbonito3766]

great point ... think I'm locked into the hobby ... i,m not goin anywhere ... again thanks for sharing ... GL & HH Jim B

[@stalker2993]

I quit cause my pinpointer was so cheap it didnt detect anything and my compact shovel i dont know whats it made of started to bent although it was brand new and i couldnt find anything except bottle caps on my third try. But thanks to your videos i will get the GP pinpointer and i found a promising war relic battle ground and now i understand how to do metal detecting properly thanks to your videos.

[@RodrigoBiermayr]

Thanks for the great video and inspiring words.Cheers from Brazil

[@AndrexT]

Well that was a nice surprise from 5 1/2 years ago Kris. I was a bit slow on stopping today's video and this popped up. There was no Like on it, so I knew I hadn't seen it. Interesting finds, especially the blue copper coin. The cobweb on your beardy chin amused me 😁I have to get out and do some permission door knocking. I have seen your videos on getting permissions and I even have your forms saved, but not gotten around to it and sorta frightened. Must do it though.

[@Hank-le4lg]

Omg. I'm from Alabama as well. Been thinking of metal detecting for a few years. Only problem is woods full of shotgun shells and casings. Would be really cool if this was a more historic setting like your detecting in kris.

[@CHAD-RYAN]

Henry Gaither i went metal detecting today and yesterday, im in alabama, to the right of mobile. Ive found 4 musket balls, a civil war bullet, and a us army pants button from WWI 1914-1918. Im wanting a coin tho with a date.

[@TheDigginDudeUK]

Literally just bought my 1st detector should be getting it in a couple of days been waiting years absolutely buzzing.

[@fiveminuteman]

Trouble is watching KZbin videos and basing expectations on them. Reality is as pointed out in the comments you may go out for 4 hours and find nothing, but the next time you go out for an hour you find something. I started and in the first 2 months I found two gold rings, forward on three years and finds have gone down and no more gold rings.last winter I was out 4 hours a week down local beach with minimal finds. Land searches are more fruitful with beaches as a backup. Beaches will have all been detected over the years and probably days before you detect. Try and detect smart and push your detectors capability as far as it will go. Dont expect to find too much but dont give up. Give yourself 3 months rather than 3 detecting sessions before you decide if the hobby is for you. It's a good hobby as it gets you out the house and in the fresh air.

[@waltjacob3776]

I intend to retire early and metal detecting is going to get me out into the beautiful British countryside, I walk a lot and already enjoy the countryside, when I retire I will have more time on my hands, so will combine the two. I too will only be doing it for fun and fresh air.

[@billm1595]

I enjoy your videos, and your comments regarding detecting are spot on

[@scottishmetaldetectingutr5244]

I got a detector and gave up after my second trip out. Fast forward 3 years later and I take it out and find my first silver. I've never looked back. Happy hunting 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@gwanagirl]

That ring looked like it had the the zoomorphic snake design from Medieval/Viking/Roman era

[@ZenTeT]

im not a hardcore metal detector i know what to expect it means i got to try more places. i never found anything worth while yet. this also goes for my magnet fishing found nothing of value its been about 2 years now.. its still fun

[@ronacord9056]

So true, I'm just getting started,, in fact still saving for a detector. But just trying to do the research to find places is fun. I never knew there were so many abandoned coal camps within 25 miles of my home town. When I'm going down the road, I catch myself looking for old driveways where something may have been years ago. I'd love to find something cool, but if I did I don't know that I'd sell it.

[@JesusRamos-wm7hg]

Go around the older folks and ask them to tell you about the old days and the folks that used to live on abondon homestead.or where to locate empty property,then get permission yeah.

[@Chuck88vert]

Your video really helped me .I was about to give it up after two weeks thanks

[@philknight6844]

I have pulled quite a few coins out of our local beach, only a few spendable 😂 loads of junk too. But the occasional pound coin is awesome. And so i a ring pull 👍👍

[@Addictedtobleeps]

Good stuff :D

[@oggie56k]

Can you start showing your lot afterwards cleaned up?

[@raymondpickering2209]

you got me on the directions ,,, subscribed at the squirel ... lol.. mad ed .. looking forwarward to more , seen a few older ones of yours, interestin explanative ,, thanks ,,

[@douglashurrell4766]

Hi I love to see detectorists that have and live in an area where they are able to detect and find artifacts as I said I would like to Do this hobby not for gain but historical as I live in an area steeped in history but bogged down in areas that are public and left to Get littered with filth and rubbish and are called beauty spots, Still at least I see you and people like you doing a nice hobby finding things it’s a pity not in my area I just wish this area could Be detected as it is one of the oldest historical parts of England and areas that protected England’s past its a pity it’s in the no do Doldrums so you carry on your good work so that I can get envious and watch your videos All the best Douglas

[@Addictedtobleeps]

Thanks Douglas :)

[@jimwest7107]

Gaining permissions is the trickiest part.

[@natshenkin]

Just to stay out of the shotgun range of the farmers and you'll be fine.

[@siliquaesid703]

Your videos are AWESOME! I've been detecting longer than you've been around D but you are still entertaining and informative, WELL DONE.

[@Addictedtobleeps]

+SiliquaeSid Thankyou Sid! That's a really kind comment. Hope you enjoy what I have planned in the future :)

[@mayday4380]

I just love being outside with headphones that drown out the noise. It is also fun to find crazy stuff.

[@boondocktaint7736]

I stay with it for the thrill of "Its bound to happen, when you least expect it" Land Finds in 2017 1. Hundreds of Coins, 3 knives, 1 silver Necklace, 1 Titanium ring, cellphone, bullets, trinkets lots of nails and bottle caps. Underwater Finds (Those are gold mines) Swimming holes, Shallow kayak/Canou docking areas, Rope Swing Areas 6 Cellphones, 5 watches, 2 wallets, 4 necklaces, 10 earings, 2 rings (Gold 18k and a Silver Ring) 8 knives, hundreds of Coins, Tackle. Other stuff too. If you have shallow water in your area where people swim and hang out. Those are hot spots. Imo i get better overall results from underwater hunting in hotspots. 90% of the time someone drops something underwater they never retrieve it. 70% of the time on land people will notice something fell and retrieve it . Its all mathmatics and process of elimination and averages. You got to do the research and have a game plan. When you do. It turns into an adventure everytime.

[@therrienmichael08]

I for one picked up my Nox 800 late July. 9 - 10 weeks now and frustrated...

[@irenetrestonwaller7328]

it is true that expectation is a problem but to be honest getting the permissions is worse.

[@Eza_yuta]

just go to the wild nature like forest or mountain.

[@irenetrestonwaller7328]

All land is owned so in the UK you need the owners permission. Some public beaches allow metal detecting bur everywhere else needs permission. Is that not the case in the USA?

[@koolJay01]

Great vid Kris! What you said about metal detecting was spot on,i couldn't have put it better if i tried m8

[@Krugsie1979]

I love detecting , haven't given up but have tried so hard for new permissions with no joy. I miss it soooo much. Another great video by the way Kris. Thank you. The exotic brushius Hairius maximus caterpillar was a sight to behold :) , best of luck with the new permission buddy.

[@64britty]

interested in starting for a hobby & more outside air, what's these permissions you speak off

[@MrBeekeep]

permissions are the landowner giving you permission to detect on his land, you need permission from the landowner to detect anywhere in the UK.

[@64britty]

+Pete .Barrett thanks for that Pete,is there anywhere you don't need permissions for!?

[@indianatone218]

It leaves more scope for us .some people just dont get it ,when were out on a sunny day looking at the scenery wherever we may be hunting ,to us it makes us glad to be above soil it doesn't matter if we dont find anything,its just been out there as you say .Hey funny enough the germans did develop a rifle that fired round corners it was an automatic to spray out of a section of tanks that had a blind spot because of the way they desighned the gun the russians tried to exploit this weak point by fire bombing the tank from up top the cannny devils .Nice vid as always take care Ant from sunny wales .

[@seanstenberg1559]

Really enjoy your channel. You actually make me laugh out loud! “... salute three times to the magpie “. Lol! I’m so new to this, I don’t even have a detector yet. I’ve recently moved to the coast here in Northern California, and beginning my homework before I make a purchase. I’m a new subscriber and look forward to viewing more episodes. Any advice from anyone would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

[@Addictedtobleeps]

Thanks and welcome :D

[@Dirtflicker]

I love your attitude...and your videos. 👍 I'm subbing.

[@emitt1]

Well done. I like how you encourage the beginners....thank you.

[@TimZurowski]

You are right most of the time I find trash But its the fun of the hunt....its getting outside and enjoying your time....

[@Mobliz]

I mainly find nails. lots and lots of nails LOL still fun though

[@dennismiklas6349]

Mobliz lots of nails and beer cans

[@adamprice9214]

Change your settings.... get the nails out on the deck burry them again about 4 inches and wave your detector back and forth, change the settings until you can't pick them up then you shouldn't did to many more! Good luck. :)

[@kristoffer816]

maybe he got a metaldetector of the cheapest of the cheapest?

[@s.engelsman4521]

I find mostly nails and caps n tabs too. Yesterday I checked a small park and found all the above AND the bonus of a dirty old sweat sock! 😕 Someone explain to me how one sock ends up 6" underground?

[@Synuae]

I don't comment on videos too often, but...good video! I don't metal detect to dig treasures out of the ground. I metal detect to dig stories out of the ground. You dug some great stories out of the ground in this video.

[@makemyday1477]

Well in case you forgot, they had a couple of World Wars over there, they may explain a few bullets and cartridges being found.

[@JesusRamos-wm7hg]

When I started out, finding targets came easy to me.its dumbluck finding a keeper.ive filled 5 gal buckets full of TRASH.but all the finds that bring a smile are worthy of the time searching.those witha short attn span shouldn't try

[@carl8668]

I have just started. What is the best way of gaining permission to detect on someone’s land ? I find your posts very helpful.

[@WhatTheHeckTV]

got to get my detector out of the closet more,winter is really long here ,and find me some gold,so I can upgrade to the gi pro

[@digginupthecarolinas9870]

I think maybe people start out with too difficult of a machine cause they want the best but it can be really frustrating with a simple detector just learning the basics

[@gabrielababa1125]

I found a very nice 1 oz of platinum the 1st day I got my new ace 400i detector :)) never give up guys really the only thing I will advise u is not to stop ! Lots of silver coins very old ones and other cool stuff to find into ground;) good luck guys

[@tamonettX500]

Excellent vid, love you throwing that brush at the runaway glove Lol I have high expectations of enjoyable scenery and solitude, exercise and fresh air...and loads of rubbish in a bag and a coin or two :) I can't wait to get my detector

[@Addictedtobleeps]

Tell me how it goes!

[@ruiverissimo6868]

Experience tells it all. And if you are honest and do it from the heart it's wonderful. After a few months maybe a year I'm still playing in my garden, been digging and finding "nice stuff" not :) maybe some interesting ones. One day will post my pics. but so far I collected a bucket full of glass, garden and rusty metal bits and 2 bin bags of rubbish :)

[@64britty]

well I got something to look forward too! lol

[@EnergyAndLightAwakening]

Where is your ultimate or dream place you'd love to go detect? Any where in the world.

[@jackripper4218]

Answer is very simple ! After purchasing a detector and ringing your local club they inform you that the club is a closed group and absolutely no places will be available for around 20 yes that's right 20 years and the club has ALL the permissions for miles in every direction ! More than one of the club work for the local authority ( council ) and actively work to inhibit other detectorists from taking up the hobby !

[@paystreak]

hi greetings from british columbia canada...nice vid am just getting into metal detecting ...i just bought a detector to look for gold nuggets on my gold claim on the fraser river ...but am also interested in looking for relics and coins else where...everything you said about metal detecting one can also say about gold panning...the priceless value is just being there in nature take a look at some of my vids to see b.c. beauty....mind you here ... we have to keep on our toes because we have bears and cougars..its all part of the out door experience ...you make nice engaging videos i like your sence of humour...must be nice finding roman coins and things ..its like time travel ..holding it in your hands ...and imagining its story falling out of someones pocket or? thanks again ...mickey miner

[@irenetrestonwaller7328]

two months after buying my detector ...no permissions. ...I'm off out today to try get some
