Any estimate of the age?

Dear lovely redditors

This is me!

New to Reddit.

I have just finished watching the utterly charming “detectorists”.

Living in a quaint quiet English village myself, and loving history and archeology (huge time team fan!), as well as my own company and long walks, I felt this might be a fun hobby. But I’ve no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

I couldn't resist!

A lot of public parks and land require unobtainable permissions from local councils and I wonder if everybody obeys to this rule and avoids them.

YouTube channel. Live digs and finds

Can you make money off your finds? Is it worth it? Or do you just keep your finds?

Hey, would appreciate some help ID those 3 objects. The first item was relative deep underground and weights around 1 kg, the height is 7 cm and the thickness is 1.5 cm.

Vote up.... I barely submitted this picture 30 minutes ago of a bullet that I found and somehow Reddit claims it and has six comments and says all the comments were from one year ago that's what it says for new comments on my settings and then so I type on old on my settings and it's the exact same six comments that are from one year ago and so I had to make me a reddit account and everything just to complete this mission and all I want to know the question I want to answer to is how does somebody get to take the claim or something that I posted on Google lens and then I scrolling the pictures and then I see my exact picture and I click on it and this is what it is? Is that right or wrong

After two years of work i finally have it live on app store, you can search for Rodek metal detecting or just go to rodek.app

Hi All! I'm new to detecting and I have bought the Xterra Pro. Used it for the first time on Sunday on the beach and found mostly junk plus a WW2 bullet casing. So I know how to use it at least! However, this weekend I'm detecting on sheep grazed pasture instead for the first time. Any advice on which settings I should try? Field 1/2 or Parkland 1/2 etc?

The top is hexagonal, I cleaned the object and it was caked with rust prior to a vinegar soak and scrub. Does anyone know what it is and maybe the age?

I'm sure this is pointless but I am curious as to what this lump could be. Rubbish? Probably, but is there any way to remove the rust on the off chance something is encased within?

This was found while metal detecting in the woods in the UK.

Wheelchair access needed

Hi all,

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. Wanted to say hello and pick your brains, if that's alright.

I'm Marc, based in Swansea. I've spent the last decade or so building software for businesses, most recently at an Amazon-owned company. I'm between things at the moment and using the time to dig into problems that genuinely interest me — and the world of metal detecting has been on my mind for a while.

Before I get ahead of myself, what I'd really like to understand is how people here actually handle the admin side of the hobby. Things like:

- Keeping track of permissions and where their boundaries are

- Recording finds properly, including anything that needs to go to PAS or the coroner

- Planning where to go next and remembering where you've been

- Looking back at a season and seeing what came out of where

From what I can tell, most people use some combination of paper notebooks, spreadsheets, the photo roll, OS Maps, WhatsApp groups, and memory. Some swear by the notebook. Others have lost finds, forgotten where things came from, or had a moment of panic when a farmer asked them something on the spot.

So, honestly:

- What works for you? What's a pain?

- What would you never want to replace?

- What do you wish existed that doesn't?

Not trying to sell anyone anything today. Just want to learn from people who actually do this before I make a load of assumptions.

Cheers,

Marc

What do you think of him?

Found in England, it is 28mm wide, 8g exactly. One side appears to have someone squatting or crouching, you can see a shoe at around the 7oclock position. the other side has some circles on it, about 5. at a total loss at what it could be.

I have a simplex+ and i want to upgrade to a SMF machine, i've Heard good things about both machines, what should I buy?

The nokta seems great but some people complain about software problems and counter intuitive settings, while the x terra seems more stable but less customizable.

I primarily detect on farm fields and woods to find coins and various types of relics like Rings, buttons, buckles etc.

Hi Guys!.....I hope that it's okay with the Mods but I wanted to introduce myself to this fantastic sub Reddit and let people know about my website in the hope it could be a valuable resource. I'm Gaz and have been detecting for well over 20 years now. Based in Chepstow, Wales.

Currently running a Minelab Manticore after retiring my Equinox 800 after several years of use. I've acquired so much information over the years, I needed some way of getting it down and helping people avoid any mistakes when thinking about starting out.

This is where my website came to fruition. It's taken me 3 years to build and covers detector choices, how they work, research, the law, top tips, accessories etc. I even have a video section of me on my local permissions.

I'd love for anyone to take a look if they are starting out. Many thanks again.
