What I have been up too and my matched betting project

So it has been a hell of a long time since I have posted a blog post here, time just seems to fly! I will be totally honest, I have joy done that much metal detecting this year although I have been out a few times with Darren on some of his

Metal detecting with the Minelab Safari on the wet sand beach today.

So today is boxing day and my Mrs had planned to hit the sales at the clothes shops which left me with a good opportunity to get out metal detecting. I really could not be bothered to go to any of my land based permissions today as lately  they have not been producing anything worthy of the time spent in the field.
So I decided that I would go down to the local beach with my Minelab Safari for the first time since buying it 6 months ago. Half the reason that I bought this metal detector was because I had heard such positive reviews about its ability to do the wet sand as well as it does the land and Bridlington beach would be the ultimate test and proving

My Minelab Safari metal detector review and best settings for ultimate depth of detection!

The mighty Minelab Safari metal detector 

I have now been using the Minelab Safari for over 6 months and what an amazing 6 months of metal detecting it has been! Since switching to the safari from my old machine I have now found hammered  silver coins, rings and even a hoard of George iii shillings and sixpences whilst out metal detecting. To say that I am impressed with the Minelab Safari's abilities would be a complete understatement.

Personally I have always said and believed that as long as you learn your metal detector and what it is telling you and just as importantly walk

Which is the best metal detector to buy?!

Andy, which is the best metal detector to buy?

This is a question I get asked about over and over again on the comment sections of my YouTube videos. Who can blame potential newcomers to the hobby for being cautious about buying a new metal detector as there are so many different brands with loads of different models which all cater for different needs. 

Unfortunately I cannot answer this question in the comment section of my videos as there is literally not enough writing space to be able to give them any decent advice. So instead I decided to make a quick video on my YouTube channel to voice my opinion on which is the best metal detector for a beginner to buy. I hope this helps others who stumble across it. If the video helps in any way, shape or form please give it a thumbs up and share among your buddies. Happy metal detecting alll.

A perfect day of metal detecting!

Hi all,
Today was the day that i got to try out my new detech ultimate coil on the safari. I bought this coil because a lot of my sites are pasture and the finds seem to be really deep and just generally

A look at some of the best coins I have found metal detecting.

I still have not managed to get out metal detecting since way back before our trip to Florida a few weeks back. The main reason being is that I stupidly managed to slice the tendons connecting in my little finger again which has really hampered all my plans. Bored and missing any

My new project for when metal detecting is not possible.

Hello everyone,
It has been a crazy few weeks without that much metal detecting. We took a holiday to Florida or Orlando to be more precise, to cut a long story short we had a great holiday with amazing food and amazing weather. We even survived a category 4 hurricane, unfortunately now though it is back to reality.
Reality, unfortunately now means darker nights and cold winter days are upon us which kinda cuts in to available metal detecting time. So while I will be doing less metal detecting I have decided

Loads more silver coins found with the metal detector from the hoard field!

Hey all,
So over the last few weekends I have been hammering the field on which I recently found the hoard/pocketspill of George iii silver shillings and sixpences. Since then I have found one more George iii sixpence and well over 20 more silver sixpences and shillings going right up to 1945 along

Silver jug and more silver coins found with the metal detector on the Hoard field.

More metal detecting action at the silver coin hoard field.

After finding my first ever hoard of silver coins on my detecting buddies land last weekend i was dying to get back down there to see if there was any more left. I knew that the only way to try to get to any that were deeper down in the soil was to crank the Minelab Safari up to full power and have the threshold a bit higher so that i could hear the fainter, deeper signals. This seemed to work a treat as i found two more
