Winter Detecting!

[JAN1]

Just got my 12 year old Vibra Probe ready for my winter detecting on my local beaches, digging in the sand and rock pools. Only took me 1.5hrs sitting in the sun shine to shave last years protection off and replace it with new Resin Putty as the tip had worn right down to the tip.

The reason I use this method as most of my detecting is done in rock pools full of shingle and sand so I can use the probe to dig right down to the bottom of the hole, as the probe is so old the copper coil is showing through the protective coating so I don't think a rubber grommet would last long. Been out twice this week looking for a valuable ring no luck but over 40 fishing weights and some coins all found on rock pools.

Went out to one of my 300 beaches in Cornwall the other day and there were so many fishing weights in a small area of a washed out beach that I didn't even need to stand up but of course the detector started to play up and had to stop. Found out the reason, it was the headphones, I think the on off switch was sticking so out with the WD40 and left them soak for a couple of days, seem to be working now. Shall try again on the next good tides and hopefully Gold.
