Havnt been here for a long time! I used to be here under the profile name x_plore. I can’t get access back to that account so have set up this one.

I’ve recently started getting back into detecting and will be sharing my finds again as often as I get out. I’ve purchased a Garrett 400i which I’m hoping will be as good as the reviews!



Anyway as I’ve said I’ll update you with finds from my outings! I’m going on a rally in Chester in a couple of weeks so hoping to get some decent finds to show you all from that!

Look forward to hearing from you all again!

Welcome back, you have been very much missed.

Haha thanks DD I’ve missed getting involved!

Yay you're back, long time no hear...I've really missed hearing about and seeing your finds xplore can we call you that now or will we have to call you Detect? Although I've given it all up now still find it fascinating so really will look forward to your posts. Good luck on your Chester Dig, go find that treasure....

Welcome back, you were missed on here.

Looking forward to seeing your finds

Do you still go out on urban explores?

Hey cools! I know it’s been a while!! You can call me what you like lol how come you’ve given up? Hope your ok

Hey snowy! Yes I still do some urbex but not a lot. Was at a farmhouse in Chester on Sunday, you probably know about that one already though lol hope your well

welcome back x plore hopefully you will soon be finding stuff like my finds from friday lol

Couldn't carry on , the old back started to complain at my frenzied digs trying to find something ,ha. Didn't lose out though sold the the detector, probe and few other accessories for a good price on eBay to someone down south. Hope the weather improves for you so you can get out there mate.
I wish more detectorists would use this forumn there must be quite a few around, never mind I'm expecting great things from you Explore...

Haha yes Jeff that was a well good coin you got on Friday! Get a picture up!

Aww no way cools that’s a shame. But your health comes first. I’m glad you got some money back from it all. There are a few on here I think, but most use the Facebook groups now. As soon as I start getting out properly I’ll do updates on here again with my finds

Yes come on Jeff and anyone else on here who do metal detecting , please put your finds up, I and many others would love to see what you have found. Not everybody on face book , im not. Let's see that coin you found Jeff pleeeeeeeese......

Had these two yesterday. Best finds out of all that I got. A paupers ring and an 1887 Indian head penny from the states

These are Jeffs finds including his big silver!

Very good finds . Are you pleased with your new detector?

Yes I like it. I can’t wait to get on this dig in Chester though. It will really put it to the test, and I’ll be beating Jeff with the finds hahaha

Jeffs been busy ,really good stuff there. Really hope you do well in Chester, must be loads of stuff to bring up...Did you read some of the posts on here about magnet fishing Explore? Where you trawl the rivers and canals with a magnet. Looked quite interesting would you ever consider doing that?Thanks for putting pics up.

haha we can both put our finds up from the chester rally and cools can judge whose are the best

Whoo fighting talk that, lol... keeping with the theme " Let the Tournament begin"....Look forward to it, ha.

Yes I’ve had a little go at that magnet fishing, wasn’t for me though. I prefer metal detecting and bottle digging.

Haha yes Jeff sounds like a plan!

Like the filigree brooch. Whats that stripey looking thing top right? Looks a bit like the handle of an old metal letter opener we used to have.

It’s a lighter Venice with a nice design on it

Nice that, but I pointed to the wrong thing, I meant the striped thing centre top?

Ahh right ok, not a clue I’m afraid. Maybe when Jeff sees this he will know

Are you looking at the blue striped thing that's a BBC radio circle badge the bronze thing with lines very top is a part of a dart and underneath is a piece of world war 2 shrapnel

I have a Sovereign GT and garret pin pointer I have not been out for over a year. 95% of this came from two fields that had already been done to death. They say the plough will bring things up and replenish a field several times over.Great hobby if you can get a few permissions.

Wow great haul there dusty! Yes your right the plough will turn a field over and make it near fresh again for hunting. I’ve been to a few fields that had been done to death and still brought up some good finds, so it’s always worth going over them again as you won’t of found everything! Thanks for sharing your finds mate

I like to look through the bits I bring home now and again. I find it incredible how much is in the ground.

You've done well Dusty, looks like some really interesting finds there. Thanks for showing us I really love to see what kind of stuff people find . I never found much at all but still find the subject fascinating.

Me and too dusty! I love going through my old finds, especially the coins! Love my old coins
