hi, not sure if your still looking to buy one, but i have a fisher f75 ltd with 3 coils and on a stright shaft, its a top end machine but easy for begginers to use, 500 pounds no offers,

 

as for places to go you need to get permission from land owners, its not easy work gaining permission, but if you keep trying you will get some, if i can help you any more, please let me know,

CF Booths at Rotherham, you'll have no end of success with a metal detector down there.

Aye, always fancied a go at this malarky, but never realised the cost of the machines. I thought they were £100 quid jobby's.

 

What's the difference between a cheapy, and the very expensive.

I know of a few crop marks around east and south east Sheffield. I don't have a metal detector so If anyone with a metal detector wants to join me, or if I could borrow one that would be good as I want to get some evidence to date the sites.

If it's a ploughed site i may be interested in field walking it to see if there's evidence from prehistory.

That sounds good megalith, I will check out the sites to make sure etc.

 

Not everyone can afford them, but I can combine my knowledge with people who have one and maybe we can add to what we know :)

Sounds good to me, as long as any finds will be recorded and logged correctly of course. I've a gps accurate to within a metre or so given good conditions.

Always wanted to start metal detecting as a hobby. Watched a guy last summer down in Ayr. He was detecting about half a mile from the sea,where the old sail ships used to dock in port. He was in shallow water and forever bending down to pick something up. His gains where anything from coins from Cromwell times (there's a citadel close by where Cromwells troops where stationed)) to a gold ring which he reckoned was from the 1980s.

 

So always interesting stuff..
