Gigahertz21 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I wonder what kind of detector he was using???? A really old metal detector according to the CNN article, this is the full link to read about it http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/09/24...oard/index.html "The hoard was first discovered in July by Englishman Terry Herbert, who was using a metal detector he bought more than a decade ago in a jumble sale for only a few pounds (dollars). He belongs to a local metal detecting club in Staffordshire and was just out enjoying his hobby when he made the find." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaimi Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Aloha, Glad someone put this link online for others. I read this and could not believe someone was that lucky using an "ancient" metal detector. I guess it just goes to show that if you run your coil over something worthy and you know your detector it will scream to you "DIG HERE NOW"! Aloha, Stan aka Kaimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picturerock Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Apparently most of the gold was right on the surface.....it was a plowed field and that had stirred the cache up a bit. Probably the most basic detector could have found that much oro when it was right on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
