    That first hole you dug had me thinking you were digging footings for a new house or something you also need to get yourselves a pinpointer its so much easier,

    In a way metal detecting is easy in middle USA because most everything will be mid-1800's and newer. Narrows down the period real quick. Detecting in the UK or Europe would be a lot more interesting to me. Thanks for taking us along on your detecting trip. Cheers.
    Add: I will say I'd prefer loose, dry loam soil compared to the wet sticky clay you guys were working in.

      It's a smaller detector shaped like a "dildo" mostly to find stuff more precisely once you know the somewhat location of the "treasure"

    Hi Chris,
    I actually did the Field Test for the Euro Ace for Treasure Hunting magazine a year or so back. Good machine. As for detecting clubs? I can only suggest you check through the Searcher or Treasure Hunting magazines? I don't know the Hornchurch area so I can't advise on sites unfortunately. I can only say that the best finds come up in the places you least expect them to?

    Specifically an extra soft bristle toothbrush with warm water and a little bit of weak dish soap.

  • @arcadia449
    @arcadia449  11 років тому

    Actually, I swept the area first until I found a good signal then I went and got the camera and filmed it as I went back to the signal. I normally do a very methodical search so that I cover as much ground as possible. I was using a professional camera (Panasonic AG-AC90) which is difficult to carry around whilst I'm swinging a detector.

    • @arcadia449

    I find your coverage of metal detecting very interesting as it was a hobby of my wife and myself for many years. However, I do think that you might show detectorists in a better light if you emphasized to all interested people the absolute necessity of replacing all divots and spoil afterwards

    • @arcadia449
      @arcadia449  6 років тому

      We do replace all divots and fill in holes. We should emphasize in future as you say.

      @@mattbortz10 I believe that also, my past life was definitely medieval. Get a strange feeling I can’t describe when I read or watch stuff about medieval times. Or listen to medieval music. There’s too many things to suggest that my past life was medieval. I even get emotional from to time when I see drawings or paintings from that era. Almost as if I wanna go back in time. Almost as if they all left me years ago. It’s all so bizarre honestly ahah

    the thing you found that you say is made from bronze I have found two of them can not find out what they are but I have come to think that they are so you can tighten a leather belt it acts as a slide for the leather strap and that's why it is polished sharp through constant tightening for say plough horse . but then I have been in this hobby for 25 years and I have found only two and these are large targets so my thoughts are it is from oxen and because it is bronze maybe a lot than they look because of being so rare in my location anyway . cheers mate hh

    why does the detector keep changing sounds

    • @arcadia449
      @arcadia449  10 років тому

      High tone means good metal, low tone means rusty iron.

    • @smokeandkippers
      @smokeandkippers 10 років тому

      Really? That's the best reply you could come up? The reason for multi toned targets is down to the composition of the target .. Alloy targets like bronze, pewter, aluminium etc that are composed of multiple metals will make the detector give off high and low signals as it detects the different metals in the alloy .. When you find a solid, single metallic target you will get one tone as there is only one metal for the detector to detect .. Hope that helps a bit more

    • @arcadia449
      @arcadia449  10 років тому

      smokeandkippers Yes but soil conditions also play a part. Generally the low tones indicate iron. I've dug them often enough to find out!

    • @smokeandkippers
