All that digging does take its toll on your back at my dotage M
It opens the lungs and gets me out the house that's good enough for me.
Not being one to flout the law,I've found it rather difficult to secure land to detect on so I jump at the chance and you just don't know when I may stumble across that Accrington hoard

Metal detector £140
Pin pointer £90
Spade £25
Trowel £15
Gloves £3
Jewellers eye glass £5
Batteries £5
Coin display pouches £5
Coin cleaning kit £4
Knee pads £5
My time £ ????
But the feeling when you dig that hole find something shiny....priceless...well close enough.
And I've found 5 spendable one pound coins....enough to cover my battery expenses

I'll have to get try and get permission from the water board and take a trip out sometime,coins are nice but I prefer the unusual stuff.
The only military stuff I've had is old (live) bullets.
