Well it was the machine that found the Staffordshire hoard so it certainly works ;D Roughly 20 old now but is still a good machine (technology hasn't moved on) but it needs some learning, if you want switch on and go then it's not for you ;)

I have used a few switch on and go machines but I do  like a challenge so I have decided to buy it and add it to my collection.
Its a very addictive hobby for sure.

Good machine, as Cheffy says a bit old, but a mate of ours has one, surprisingly fast recovery speed, seems to find the goods. Only draw back is the strange battery they have...

Not much has changed Roger most of us only change machines because we want to believe the marketing hype :-\
