Hi Zurek, Mate, this forum is awesome. I've been detecting for a couple of years now and all I know, which isn't much, but what I have learnt, I've learnt from reading this forum, asking questions of the guys on here, reading and researching and admitting that I know nothing. People will generally help out the newbie if you genuinely seek help. Good luck with the swinging, panning or sluicing or all of the above! TD
