MAD COWS EAT METAL DETECTORISTS !!!🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂🐂


« Reply #17 on: January 28, 2015, 06:00:20 PM »

I have already commented on the dreadful attack on that guy,but as we all know today's detectors are getting even more sophisticated but with sophistication comes expense, machines these days are very expensive.
This sort of attack and robbery is becoming more and more commonplace, therefore why can't detector manufacturers start to incorporate some sort of
Password entry system into the electronics within the detector,if a detector happens to get stolen it would be rendered useless(suggest,2 /3 attempts then detector goes into permanent shutdown,and would have to be sent back for factory reset.
Also,from now on,if I am detecting on my own I will purchase a personnel attack alarm,we have got to do something to try and stop these sorts of attacks from happening, I await your comments and well,any ideas??

Well firstly metal detectors are no more sophisticated now than they were in 1980 in fact in electronic terms they are all very basic bit's of kit but yes prices have reached a silly level with well over 60% of what we pay being profit to one person or another (that's more than petrol Cheesy). All password entry systems can and do get broken eventually and it would certainly add even more to the price.
It is sadly a sign of our times and of our own making so we just have to live with it and stay as safe as we can, My camera is equal to around 2 CTX but I never think about security other than is common sense when I'm out Undecided

As to getting a personal alarm which you can use in a field miles from anywhere......good luck with that then Grin

Your of course correct hotmill its not worth dying for, I would let them have it Grin Grin Grin Grin and I do mean have it Shocked Shocked Shocked, and what's more enjoy it  Wink it says in the bible thou shall not steal another mans detector, I think Tongue

Get it right Paul...
Thou shall not covet thy neighbour's house. You shall not covet your neighbour's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbour especially his metal detector and wellies..

I found this on another forum........


Looks like this was not just a case of a random detectorist being robbed.
It looks like the nighthawks have been and took their detector back that the farmer took from them and gave to tony.

Tony ...the guy who was beaten has posted this on his club forum.

Tony sirret Attacked
Thanks all for the thought's, it's Tony here, been in touch with the police as I've still not been contacted, I do have a crime number but apparently there's no notes attached to it.....
I do feel very embarrassed about it, would have kicked their ass's a few years ago but age sort of creeps up on you.
The farmer seems to think he might know who it is and is also waiting for the police to visit him.
I'm afraid I don't have the serial number of the detector as I've only had it a week or so, it was one of the ones the farmer confiscated of off the night hawkers.

Please don't any one be put off by my experiences, this is a one off very rare thing to happen, I've had many many happy hours detecting.


Thanks Tony

my thoughts exactly
not condoning nighthawking, but for the farmer to take their detectors is illegal and just as Geoff has pointed out Tony Sirret was  using "their" stolen detector
