[QUOTE="Perth Tim, post: 506208, member: 15405"] Hi Steve, I'm still new to metal detecting, but I've done 4 or 5 outings now and I've improved everytime. I usually hit a local sports ground and a beach, but from what I've found so far I think the beach is a really hard place to hunt. The sporting ground has been far more productive being able to find sterling silver jewellery everytime. I figure if I'm finding silver it's only a matter of time before I hit some gold stuff. 2 Pieces of gear I wouldn't be without on a field are my pro find 35 pin pointer and a solid turf spade. The point pointer lets me search in the hole where the nox won't fit, I use the pin point function on the nox to determine where to dig, but the pro find does the actually final investigation. The other reason is on the sports ground it's ring pull HELL, I literally always have a target under the coil, but this has also been very educational for me in how to discriminate and find more valuable objects. I recommend you give it a go - just don't dig on the playing field, dig around the sidelines as thats where people sit and lose stuff plus someone might get upset if you ruin the playing surface.
