A WW2 unexploded bomb and the whole neighborhood has to be evacuated! Should go down well!

Many years ago around the late 70s I dug up an old 2 inch mortar flare, looked fairly intact, can't remember what happened to it, probably buried it in the garden??

I found a label on the back of my detector GS 1013 ? Haven't a clue what it's like ? It's got loads of control knobs and a meter on it !

That's the danger if you go to big to soon, so Mrs Slick is on YouTube studying all the functions of her "surprise" Christmas gift.

You didn't get her the manual to go with it!

Still boxed, but I think the videos will be a bit more intuitive than the manual but hopefully its there if she needs it.
Long story short. Ex work colleague got interested, joined local club. Second outing found rare gold coin. Coin now in British Museum, Ex colleague / Farmer who owned land 50/50 split, well deserved luxury family holiday in South America for ex colleague who had been a selfless foster parent for decades.

Good to hear.
You've got a set of decent batteries for anything that needs them, and you'll be charging the main battery/batteries up the night before.
So it can be used on the day.

Sounds like a plan.
The pin pointer also arrived today, along with a very small hand shovel. I'm looking forward to seeing her out investigating, she will love it.

Just remember, newer "copper coins" are more iron than copper.Sounds like a plan.

Easily proved with a magnet.
Maybe She'll hit gold on her first attempt.
I've a few places I'd want to try, but they're all either close to scheduled monuments, or unable to get permission to map the area out. No digging, just try and work out what lies beneath my feet.
