Hello to everyone, My name is Richard 53 years old,from Caerphilly, I have had detectors since the early 80s. I have had a back problem for a few years now so this is not the ideal hobby, but I am determined to get back to it in some sort of shape.looking forward to reading through the threads here for some inspiration. Cheers all.

Thanks for the welcome,I have been reading through the threads here and it seems like I have been out of touch for a long time, there are a lot of obstacles involved nowadays. It feels like there is a vendetta against anyone who wants to metal detect, or is it just me?. I always knew you had to get permission on private land , but not common land. Permits for the beach, not allowed on parkland, armed to thieve if carrying a detector,I thought  having a disability and not being able to drive would have been my biggest problem getting back into the hobby Sad. You all seem like a great bunch here considering the pitfalls of the hobby, thanks again.

welcome Richard. They are a really friendly and helpful bunch on here. i would go so far as to say they are exceptionally friendly .

I'm in the same boat as you having given up detecting in 2005 due to back problems.

Sadly I cannot swing my old Minelab Musketeer Advantage anymore but the new Garrett series of detectors are amazingly light. i can use my Garrett Euroace for hours  without any fatigue .
The Garrett AT pro is also an excellent detector for the money and is waterproof as well.

Thanks peanut, it's very encouraging to know that there is someone else with the same problem and still out and about. I have a bounty hunter quickdraw11 detector which I will use until I am sure I can get about OK, if all goes well I will upgrade. Finding somewhere to search is now my main aim, thanks again and happy hunting.
