Metal detecting challenge - Episode one!

A CHALLENGE!


Can I cover the cost of a metal detector using finds I have found on the beach, in a year?

Can you?

A challenge!

Rules:

ONLY beach detecting.
Any finds count towards the cost (including lead)
Can be any beach.
A person can detect as much as they want.
We're looking at a mid-ranged/priced detector as mentioned in the video.
Starts today.


*Note.  This is just a bit of fun.  It will be interesting to see if any of us can get anywhere near!

Here is my first video, explaining a bit more, and with my first finds!

    My name is Andre and I live in The Netherlands. I'm also a fanatic beach detectorist and I really love to look at your video's.
    I defenetly think your finds will increase if you buy yourself a real beachdetector. If I look at your video and see you dig almost every hole not deeper the 4 inches I know that you can do much better. If I compare the holes you dig with the ones I dig there is a world of difference. I'm finding coins at 13 , 14 inches at the beach as well on the dry and the wet sand. You will see that when you have a real beachdetector you will need a bigger scoop then the one you are using now.

    Thanks,

    Andre

      I agree with you. The success of metal detecting rely approximately 85 percent on the quality of metal detector you had. Therefore you really have to choose the one which great and suits to your need.

      Not a beach detector, which is going to make my life harder. Hopefuly, I will get one in the summer though.

      At the moment I will use either the Cscope 6MX, or the 3MX, mostly on dry sand/pebbles.
