[QUOTE="Red Fred, post: 4924666, member: 189"] Problem with a hobby detector is that they have to be sensitive to find tiny silver coins, etc, but this means that they are also sensitive to the vast amounts of iron and metal scraps that have been dropped over the years. You don't realise the scale of the problem til you try a modern artefact detector. Most now have discrimination against iron, but of course, this makes them useless for looking for a nut or bolt, and switching it off will drive you potty. Similarly, trying to use one round the yard will drive you mad, so a hobby one is really only much use if you know roughly where you dropped something, in the long grass for instance. [/QUOTE]
