Wow, never took you for metal detecting , I’ve been at for years got a few detectors my fave at moment is the Viking, but I’ve got me minelab old faithful never disappoints, good luck in your searching 😎
I have only been at it for a short time and still learning, I do know Viking is a long established piece of kit , I’m hoping for better things with the new firmware update , Happy digging and thanks for watching.
I got asked to review one about 2 years ago and quite excited but when I read the reviews they were saying it was more of a kids detector, rather than a good one, so turned it down. Interesting hobby if you can afford the real expensive kit and just imagine if you found an old Viking hoard! Cheers Alan
Hi Alan thanks for watching, I haven’t been doing this too long and still Learning, my machine cost about £850 new and have added to it but do find it a steep learning curve , it’s a interesting hobby and sometimes you find some historical gems and any Viking would be cool , Catch you later Kev
Thanks Henrik that’s what I should have said , I’m sure I read somewhere that we don’t need to ground balance here in the UK ……But I might be wrong , Thanks for commenting.
Hiya Kevin a man of many skills. Is this a long held hobby or just since you retired?? Not something I'd ever thought about. Accept when you read about the big finds. And you start thinking about how you'll spend the money. 😊😊Great way to dig up some local history. Another interesting video. Thank you for sharing. Allan&Family
@@AllanNeaves-qn3zr Hi Alan and thanks for watching, I bought a detector about 40 years ago but didn’t have much time to use , and yes since I retired I bought a modern detector and started detecting again but due to health limitations i cannot due much but it does get me out of the house and sometimes find some interesting things , Catch you later Kev

It wasn't a ground balance, it was a noise reduction you did there

@@thedurhamvloggerI only ground balance if I know the ground is mineralised, ie has clay!
I also do gold panning , weather and health permitting 💪
Wow that’s interesting and I know what you mean about health and weather .
I’ve also found that Beach W works really well on damp soil fields. I know a few people who use Beach mode on land too! I’m staying on V1.09.
@@dannelson4587 Thanks for your comments Dan I’m might give that a go , I was previously on v 1.90 but just jumped to V 1.16 .
