The 2018 detecting season has not only begun for the diggers of coins in the fields because war-relic hunters have also started. This year, the members of the Otsing Club (“detecting club”) found a 76.2-mm regimental gun, the 1927 model, in the swamps of Narva. A total of 18,000 such guns were produced, of which only a small number have survived to this day. It’s good that in Estonia, the...
It so happened that I am subscribed to different pages and communities of various diggers around the world on Facebook, as well as to all the pages of metal detector manufacturers. How can I be without this, otherwise there will be no place to scoop up information about new items and various interesting finds. I am a member in a small, but very cozy community of one manufacturer of analog metal...
Which of you closes the season during the fall? Are there many? I can not do this. While the earth is still diggable in the forest – I go detecting to the last. And then, when the winter closes everything, it’s a great time to clean the finds for the year, to sit down over maps, to look for new places for detecting. But as long as the earth lets...
I recently went to Germany for the purpose of visiting my friend Marco and decided to bring my detector with me, just in case we had some spare time for detecting. And luckily it turned out that we had, and that brought us some really cool finds and an unforgettable experience! So, let’s get to the story itself: I decided to bring with me my XP Deus detector, as I...
Greetings fellow detectorists! It seems to be winter, but with my weather and sea climate, I can dig even without a break, as I understand it. It’s cold and then it’s hot, and everything is changing one after another. Rain on New Year’s Eve is usual, so I did not fail to take advantage of the weather. When a little bit of the ground froze, I went to check out...
I decided to add this article to the previous story about digging with the Macro Racer 2 and the Nel Tornado coil. This time the three of us went to a field where I had found a fibula before, and bronze from the times of Kievan Rus. Objects from the late, as well as early Middle Ages, can also be found here. And this time I did not find anything from the times...
Recently, an interesting event occurred – specialists from the Northern Fleet rescue team retrieved 2 Sherman Tanks, it seems with the modification of the M4A2 (76) W, from a ship called “Thomas Donaldson”. “Thomas Donaldson” was sunk on March 20, 1945, by a submarine U-995. And the first unfortunate vessel with an American crew and more than 6 thousand tons of different equipment and cargo on board that was...
You know this saying – “Better safe than sorry?”. This story is well characterized by such a saying. In Queensland, Australia, one of the diggers, who wished to remain anonymous, was walking with a metal detector. Judging by what device he had – Minelab GPX 5000, then he walked with one goal – the search for native gold. Otherwise, there is nothing to look for in Australia’s wilds, there is...
Even though that many people say that all the good fields and the perfect finds are dug up, I do not believe it. On one hand, it’s true, on the other – there are still many places where life once bubbled and people lost coins, buried their goods and hid their jewelry. Everything made of metal can be found and dug up with a metal detector. Usual story – a...
The French company XP Detectors, the same XPlorer, released two new white coils in 2017, both high frequencies. Do you want to know why you need a 56 kHz super frequency? Soon I’ll go detecting, to the place where the guys found “scale” coins, so my thoughts are cherished by the finding of the Medieval silver small thing with this new coil for my metal detector XP Deus, with which...
