Welcome to the occasional Detectorists, that is that I occasionally go metal detecting depending on the permissions I can find or alternatively a garden of a friend. 

Until recently I was using my Garrett Ace 250 detector which I've had for many years but now I have a new Minelab X-Terra Pro. Lets see what I find on it's first day out on a farm in Kent.

I also use a Dr. Otech Pinpointer which I find is good value for its type.

Metal Detecting isn't all about Treasure.
Digging with a metal detector often produces finds that may not be what you are hoping for, and although the Treasure you find may not be of any financial value the interest and the excitement of finding strange objects can really add to the fun.

BOAT often used to refer to joke finds that are a "Bit Of A Tractor" usually ends up being a piece of an identifiable iron.

Metal detecting is more about the fun of the unknown and unearthing ancient historical items if you're lucky.

Come with me on my occasional metal detecting adventures.
