.... lots of "horsepower", easy to operate, deep seeking, able to handle highly mineralized ground. It's one of our best sellers in our store.

I'm always amazed about how you Brits toss late 1700 early 1800's coppers in the "bin" since those are mostly considered modern by your standards. Those would be real keepers when found here.

I love detecting in the UK since most everything we dig is interesting to us "Yanks" regardless of it being a coin, old jewelry, button, etc. .... from Celtic / Viking / Roman / Medieval. The farmers at the small town pubs we frequent love to see the bits and pieces we find.

Managed to locate two photographs from my album, these two photographs are a cut half and a cut quarter hammered coins. The coins photograph just taken out of the spoil heap. The cut quarter took some finding because my machines is not equipped with a pin point mode.(it runs in all metal) ,and yes it is that small!
