FAQ;
Q.What metal detector were you using when you recorded this video?
A.Minelab E-Trac.
Q. I'm thinking of taking up metal detecting as a hobby. Which metal detector would you recommend to me?
A. The Garrett Ace 250 offers a good compromise between price, ease of use and performance.
Q. Do you ever sell your finds? Will you sell an item to me?
A. No, I never sell any finds. Every item recovered stays in my collection. The only exception is when the owner (loser) can be traced, in which case the item is returned.
Q. Where can I get one of those plastic sand scoops seen in the video?
A. Many online retailers sell them, just type 'plastic sand scoop' into a search engine. Since I recorded this video they've become more widely available and prices have dropped. Home-made versions made from things like empty food containers are not very robust, they soon fail when exposed to wet sand on the beach. I know from experience; I got through several myself before purchasing the real thing.
I'd like to say thank-you to Pingstick (Dave), who was already busy searching on the beach when I arrived to record this video. He kindly agreed to show his finds on camera and helped record a couple of scenes.
