Petal is far more likely to bump into you than me, she'll probably have forgotten about it by then.

I'll but you some chips if you come done this end.

Greetings from Near Bridgend,  Ogmore Vale ,actually.

Hi to both -- NEMESIS and Petal.

I believe there was a club in Bridgend (a long time ago ) but haven't seen any sign of it todate.
Have been out on two fields I had permission for, and Southerndown beach.(that was last year.)
Intend to go to the fields next week ,and Southerndown the following week (as its high tides in the day next week.)
Have had  1. WHITES M6 To start
                 2. WHITES 3Vi
                 3 Now satisfied with a MINELAB CTX 3030.
I've only had experience with these 3 ,so can't give advice on any others, sorry.

Good luck and good hunting.

Hi val and all finally been out today and had a great day detecting going again tomorrow really hooked on it now ,didn't find anything much but got some hints and tips about how to use the detector so lots of practise and hi whosyouruncle I am in nantymoel so any advice welcomed thanks

[NEMESIS]

  Well what a small world.  I used to live in Ogmore Vale, in Bryncethin now but most of my work is still around O. V.
  Glad you finally got out PETAL and thoroughly enjoyed it 
   Thanks for the greetings  UNCLE.

Hi nemesis I lived in bryncethin for 7 years the big house by the council yard blackmill road  yes had a great time thanks hope your enjoying your detecting ?

[Val Beechey]

Hi Petal,  so glad you had a good day out.  Most times it's not about the finds, more about the doing. At least that's what I keep telling myself.  And I know I'm right because I always feel good when I get back. I know I've tried and usually I've enjoyed the fresh air, the scenery and (sometimes) the Sunshine.
It can only go one way now.  Happy hunting.

Val

   Hi Bob, apologies for late reply, Ive only just seen the message..
     in all honesty I haven't even been out yet ( few personal probs and been working flat out), and so I dont even know if my second hand Elite is working properly.  or my 18x 15 sef coil   .. I've been slowly getting all my gear together tho so that when the time comes I can go out and have a good long day.   
    I probably also know you and petal by site as Ive been around for a long time.   LOL.    Hope to bump into you both one day soon tho.
   Good luck with your hunting both, but leave a little for me please...

   Just looked at my first post and cant believe how the time has flown by and still havent been out yet.       GRRRRR.    soon very soon tho.

Hi. Another here from S.WALES.  I have never been detecting and haven't got my tool yet.  I have sort of played with the idea of detecting for a few years and to be honest, I wish I had got involved  a few years ago.  I know nothing about M/D but determined to give it a go now.   I have been visiting this forum and others for the last few days and familiarizing myself with the DO's and DONT's and the legalities involved.
        I'm  hoping to pick up a cheap- Garrett 250 ace tomorrow (it seemed tooo cheap not to) but hoping to get a Minelab Sov or similar  as my main weapon within the next couple of weeks.
    Does anyone know what the nearest club to Bridgend area is plz and are they taking on any new members?
   Also, as I know nothing about detectors other than what Ive read so far, is there anything I need to look out for when purchasing  Sec/ Hand?  i.e  just cos it beeps it doesnt mean its working correctly, right    Probably a stupid question that , but is there any foolproof way of checking?
         I look forward to having an active participation in this forum and wish to thank you in advance for any help/ advice ofered.
        Regards   Sheaghn.

     

Hi Sheaghn, I got a  Sovereign Elite with a 15 inch WOT coil for sale soon, and a Detech 13 inch ultimate coil and a SEF 12 x15 coil. Will put it on D/W tomorrow.    Regards. Paul
