    Am I doing it wrong?

    I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback, I have finally broken the drought and managed to find myself some nice pre deci coins. Now to find a sixpence, crown and a sovereign. And that will complete a set for me.

    ⭐ Gold Detecting Show'n Tell

    An insight into current European Detector brands/models

    Hi, it looks like no posts here for a while, I have a detech chaser 14kHz model. Works quite good, bit of a learning curve and takes experience. But found some nice yellow stuff.
