Metal Detectorists

[Drago]

You could always come home

I think it might take more than free movement for detectorists to persuade the curvaceous Mrs D.

I think the earliest one was Elizabethan!

I didn't know they made metal detectors that long ago? 😂

I didn't specify which Elizabeth!

I'm going to be really dull now and mention work, I worked for a company that made industrial metal detectors, mainly food and pharma, and apparently the technology comes from a Russian soldier in WWII.

Originally as land mine detectors, or some such?

Mrs Slick is more a solo operator who just likes to do her own thing regardless of if its considered right or wrong. She continually surprises me by her success by doing things a little differently.

Ahh, that's certainly an acceptable trait - I have a theory that if there weren't people who 'did their own thing' that inventions would end. If all students learn the same way, are (maybe) afraid to be 'outspoken' and don't use lateral thought.

My thoughts exactly.

It's more likely, 'to make great benefits for glorious socialist republic.'

Must be.

Polish, not Russian, and it was a portable metal detector he's credited with.

Simon & Garfunkel are dab hands I believe - has the OP got a particular 'look' in mind?

Loved the show, watched it a few times now. Seen groups of detectors (I know) along the Kennet towpath back there a few times.
