denarius & hammered

[Chef Geoff]

The basic rule of thumb is that the higher the frequency (above 12KHz) the more sensitive the machine is to very small items but does not penetrate the soil as far as the lower frequency (circa 7KHz) which are better at larger and deeper targets. For instance the Nautilus I'm currently trying out runs at 14 KHz and found that tiny piece of a hammered coin the other day at about 2" with a good signal, had I been using the G maxx running at 4.6 Khz it may of missed this piece but have found a whole hammered penny far deeper.
The minelab eureka is made to detect tiny gold nuggets and runs at 60 KHz. But all these "rules" are effected by the size of the coil.

My mother used to tell me about the German POW that used to work on the farms around Cwmbran, apparently they were very well mannered and gentlemanly.
I used to know a few people from Italian decent around the Bridgend area whose farthers' or grandfarthers had been POW's and after the war had gone back to Italy to fetch their wives and make a home here.
This is a sculpture that was made by an Italian POW and is a well known land mark on the road to Wells.

Thanks for info Geoff and Val, much appreciated indeed. I think there's a lot more to come out, of the work of PoW's in the community in WW2... perhaps i'll research it when i retire!
