    Aldi Adventuridge Metal Detector

    Aldi Adventuridge Metal Detector

    Hi guys, I have an Aldi detector, when i went to use it again, I can't tighten the shafts. When I put it away last (some time ago), all was fine, then took it out tonight to setup, and though I can tighten the locking nut all the way, it doesn't tighten the shafts, so they keep moving in/out...

    Thanks Silver :) :Y: . Had another look at the spoon, are you referring to the light gray in the middle, or all the burnt area? The light gray just seems to be the metal of the spoon, like a coating on the spoon flaked off. Where's I'm located, lived here for 15yrs, never ran into trouble...

    Hello, First time out tonight, not great unfortunately. Found my first coin ($2), as with a 10c and 5c piece, + a bunch of rubbish. Will have to try a new spot. That larger solid looking piece I think is copper. Not sure if it's worth anything or just chuck it. Anyone else experience...

    Aldi Adventuridge Metal Detector

    Thanks Guys :) Thanks Heatho :). I just stuck it on all metal for now, just to try get a feel for it. One thing I'm trying to get use it is how it detects. When you swing over an area and it beeps, does it detect the item at the centre of the coil or outside ?

    How do you search for stones??

    Hi guys, looking at all the beautiful stones you guys manage to dig up, but got me curious... how do you go searching for gemstones ? Is it just a matter of heading to an area with previous finds (like gold) and start digging ?

    Hey Guys, I don't quite follow what you're saying, & not sure what you mean by ghosting ? My intentions of this post and questions within it were never about "fishing for information or a cheap way out" & I find this quite upsetting tbh. My intentions were simply to broaden my options of...
