DW years of experience

[outlaw]

I started in 2005 after watching an talking to an oldish fella detecting on a beach in Clacton, he gave me a try of his sov elite and i was hooked !

Hardly ever go fishing now. 

I'll take 5 years  making a total 470 years of experience available to us all !

I started with a c-scope TR200    back in 1976 thats 33 years ago the total years between us so far is  now 503 YEARS  

[rjm]

It's difficult for me to recall the year but thinking about it, I believe it was 1987 and I started with a C-Scope C2M I bought second hand. Kept falsing so sold it to a dealer in Hereford and bought a Minelab Tribune from a dealer in Bristol....then a Sovereign XS....etc etc

22 to 503 = 525 years

1971 I STARTED DETECTING,USED A C SCOPE TR.MY MATE USED A SMALL VIKING.
THESE WERE THE DAYS BEACHES GAVE YOU LOADS OF GOLD,EXSPECIALLY BARRY.
DONT FORGET THESE MACHINES WERE  VERY BASIC AT THE TIME.......THE VIKING WAS BY FAR THE BETTER MACHINE......GWIL.
