Post by: welshdigger on December 29, 2011, 11:31:00 AM
hi guys and gals im looking for someone to go detecting with around the south wales area( or further)
i got my own 8 seater 4x4 as transport that will get us ANYWHERE lol
im 31, always up for a good laugh, smoke like a trooper and at the moment am using an ace250...soon to be an etrac.
i got permission for a real small field localy to me where they keep horses and have found a few bits and bobs.
all my m8s are into fishing and always says the night before that they are up for a outing with me but end up saying they cant be bothered the next day .....like today!! :-(
so if anyone is off out for a few hours or are near to aberdare then gimmie a shout and id be happy to tag along...or drive to the site.
hope you all had a good christmas and have a happy new year!!!!!
thanks for looking

Im going to get a minelab but a lower end model, i used to have a viking v5 when i was younger but havn't been out for years now, am hoping to get my machine next week so will be free to come along after then, i need a bit of tutoring lol so will be wise to get a make the same as yours, hopefully you can teach me something.
I may go for this model do you think it will be ok for me being a nube technically?

That is an excellent machine Will, there is nothing lower end about the Xtera 70. I used to use one and had some fantastic finds with it.

And another and this one has the newer coil. The good thing with having a few for sale is that it may help keep the price down.
