Hi All and Paulmarr, I will add to my "to do" list some photos of finds. At the moment I am researching a race track that operated in my local area from about 1909 to around 1937. There is no parish maps here in my local library for it so there is a lot of hunting. I am also researching a...

Well done on your haul. I must say I am loving my CTX, it is giving similar results but bigger quantities and deeper targets too, I also love the 17" coil you can cover so much area and I do use the gps to mark spots I want to revisit although the GPS only has an accuracy of +/- 10 meters to an...

Hi Mel, I picked one up not that brand but that size for $20 at a local Sunday markets in similar condition, what ever you do,do not try to restore it, the value will drop like you would not believe. Also it should have a very small date stamp somewhere that will give you the month/year of...
