is it skill or detector

I think that the nourishment of the metal detector operator has been overlooked here. Many metal detector enthusiasts, after years of obsession have taken their ugly toll, are badly malnourished, and easily winded by the slightest grass resistance on the coil of their metal detectors.

The value of a good metal detector and experience using it cannot be underestimated, also do not overlook the value of a properly fed individual, with plenty of B vitamins surging through the vasculature of your liver, so that you are not dizzy when your heart beats like the tom toms of a village of maniacs as you dig from the earth your corroded prize.

Ah hope this helps!

Wow! Is that why I fell over the other day while digging a pulltab?

And thought it was the effects of the beer!

Detectors are only as got as being in the hands of someone using it. You need the skill of taking the darn thing out of the closet and going some where and using it skillfully.

Is it really the detector? Just how good is it at finding something while it's sitting in a corner or your room?

It's like a car sitting in the garage. you have to use it for it to work for you.

I don't entirely take my own advice, but think knowledge of detector used, site selection, perseverance (detect every chance you get), confidence in detector, research, are all factors. Detector selection matters, but except for a few of the worst detectors ever, almost all can produce good finds.

The most good finds from cleaned out old parks seem to be found using the Minelab multi-frequency models. HH, George (MN)

its a art and a science --the art part is getting to really get a feel for the machine and learning to really understand what it trying to tell you --the science part is the quality of the machine you use and how and where you use it --the best machine in the world cannot find stuff if nothing was lost there to begin with -- the lands (or waters) location and its age of use and types of use by humans is vital to making good finds .
