[liftloop]

The hoard

"found no-then".... the two must of been using the... "ace 2 fiddy"... the white's spectrum was pulling targets out at depth of over 14 + inches deep ...it's on you tube if any one is interested... what a story... type in "Saxon gold: finding the hoard"...them guys over there have all the fun...I'm half English.. my gram-Pa came here too get away from the war at the time ..and ended up working the copper mines up here.... they all so Mencken a bout "night hawks" people who go out at night and plunder the fields with night vision.... and how they lose there history....the T.V version had sub titles that made it more interesting....

I DVR'd that last night. I would love to do some digging over there. Too bad I only have an Ace 2 Fiddy.

Love the Farmer and guy who found it! Could not have happened to a couple of better guys! There's so many hoards of goodies just waiting to be found out there. That's what keeps us all goin' here!!

I called BS on the "modified" detector, although I liked the show. When they showed his modified sounds on targets I thought they all sounded like crap. My first thought was, "I'd never swing a detector that sounded like that"

 

[liftloop]

but what do you swing
it's not listed

I'm not a fan on tone i.d

but it must of sounded like sum-then to get him to dig
he did mention a bout his detector never sounding like that before
trying to spit out all the sounds at wonce

No longer freinds now I'm afraid...they fell out over the money, and just lately the Archy's have found a second Gold hoard on the same field, which by the way, the finder of the first is entitled to half of the value, along with the farmer/landowner.

It's amazing how money can fire up greed and the ' It's mine' emotions. They both got $1. something million and it's looks like even more now. The finder ran out and bought a new car and the landowner built a new house. They are both far better off than before. Frank...

At least they both got something. Over here in the US the government would confiscate it all and you'd end up with nothing. The Brits have the best laws pertaining to this type of stuff.

If you ever get the chance, try to find the show "Lucky Muckers". It's about a guy from Chicago going over to hunt the Thames River with a local group who is licensed to do so. Interesting stuff. They don't find a lot of treausres but the show does a great job of showing why Great Britain's laws are much better than ours when it comes to treasure hunting.

The XLT is totally adjustable. In the advanced settings you you can adjust things that most people have never heard about. There is a book out on how to custom tune it. This is in addition to the regular and custom setting programs. Frank...

Over here, the government would never hear about it! Before 1996 it was finders/keepers over there. Frank...

The Treasure act is very good, when it comes to Large Historical finds such as this, but it still has huge flaws, regarding smaller items.
