An amateur metal detectorist found a stash of five guns while he was detecting along the shores of the river Thames. It was during the low tide that he found them. The guns were found inside a bag together with ammunition, and it looks like they were intentionally buried in the sand. This happened near the Blackfriars Bridge. The detectorist called the police himself after finding the guns. Officers were seen rushing down...

You start digging, but the signal still does not disappear, it is deeper and deeper. And suddenly …. You notice the hood of a car. This is exactly what happened in this video. Of course it is a joke,...
So i recently came across some very interesting news about one of the new metal detectors that 2017 will bring us: the SAR-1 Search and Recovery underwater detector from JW Fishers! This new and interesting detector is specially designed to be used by safety dive teams, law enforcement groups and military units for locating objects in hard, underwater environments. The SAR-1, like many other underwater detectors, gives a vibrating signal trough the handle of the detector when...
Not long ago, the London authorities decided to take money from citizens, digging with or without a detector in the mud on the banks of the river Thames. This “activity” is also popularly called «mudlarking». Now the cost of this “attraction” is 32 pounds per day.

Sometimes when i’m out detecting, local people approach me and ask me what i am doing, and then they ask if I have found a lot of gold there. Only if these people knew how silly their question sounds. After all, to find gold is very rare and a great success. Of course, those who detect at beaches have a greater chance of finding golden jewelry, but people like me who dig mostly...

Imagine how amazing it must have felt to find this hoard! Here are some more pictures of the find 😉 (Note: click on the photos...
One of the cases where a Viking sword was found in 2016, happened in Iceland. A Company of hunters were out on a wild goose hunt, and accidentally discovered the artifact directly on the surface of the earth, without the use of a metal-detector or anything! A very surprising find, but the most likely thing that happened was that it maybe washed ashore during a storm, or washed out of the ground....
