Hi there
Thanks for the reply, had a quick look at the scanmaster stuff it SEEMS to be ok but I am stuck with what I have and will have to stick with what I have for now as any "spare" cash is going into the motorhome conversion and "future proofing" our bungalow just in case I
pop my clogs
I wonder if anyone has actually used a Klarstein detector? my son gets fair results with the cheapest detector from Maplin (about £35) my old detector was the cheapest around at the time I last detected and I got good finds with it and mostly better results than my detecting partner who got a pricey detector which didn't pick up the finds I got.
I also bought a Viking ! series 5 as a used detector from ebay and I am looking into maybe a replacement coil?

A free C scope arrived with it as a surprise! but the coil cover is in two parts so I will be looking at a diy/coil change as well. just testing the waters at the moment.
I don't want to use the discrimination setting so my first run will be on the "all metal" setting as I really dont mind ring pulls etc, its the thrill of a find I like along with the outdoors
