Title: Hi all - Newbie here!! Post by: Powys Boyo on June 14, 2016, 09:31:07 PM Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and indeed to this hobby.
It's something I've wanted to start for years, but something always got in the way. I now find myself with the time and finances to be able to pursue it. I have 2 questions: 1) I live near Brecon, Powys - are there any clubs close to me? 2) I have a budget of around £600 which must buy me everything, so I'd really like some suggestions on kit if anyone can help. Thanks Title: Re: Hi all - Newbie here!! Post by: glyn on June 15, 2016, 06:50:29 AM Hi Boyo, I'm 16 miles north of Brecon and bought a new detector last Christmas.
There's a club at Hereford and also a Maplins shop, with a range of 5 detectors. I bought middle of the range at £80 ( looks like a Garrett 250). I'm well pleased with the results so far, 38 coins, 2 medals and a bayonet. I've only met others at a DW rally, which was well attended. Enjoy searching for a detector, there's plenty to choose from. I rescued 1 from a land fill site about 1980, it still works! Glyn |
