Hands Free Carrying

Posted on May 2, 2014 by David

The one big problem I found with dowsing and detecting simultaneously is that you need to use both hands and therefore you have no hand free to carry a digging implement. Small digging implements can be carried in a finds bag and for a long time I carried a ‘T’ handled foot assisted trowel on […]

Gold Test

Posted on April 24, 2014 by David

I changed the bait to gold on the L-rod and spent a further four hours detecting on the same field as the Silver Test (see previous post). The photo illustrates the finds. The first three objects from the left on the top row all have some gold plating remaining, while the fourth object is silver […]

Silver Test

Posted on April 16, 2014 by David

I had a small pasture field available, which I had searched in the past and made very few finds. The field had just been mown so searching conditions were as good as they could be and I decided to use the field as a test site for natural finds. I was now using a Detech […]

Trust the Greeks, especially when they bear gifts

Posted on March 28, 2014 by David

Continuing on from my previous post, Dowsing for Treasure, the above picture shows one of the L-rods Takis sent me, although I have digitally shortened it.. Actual dimensions are: length 52cm (21in), height 15cm (6in) and return 8cm (3in). The diameter of the rod is 2mm (1/8in) and the sleeve handle 6mm (3/8in) outside diameter; […]

Dowsing for Treasure

Posted on March 13, 2014 by David

While, for obvious reasons, there is much secrecy in treasure hunting, now and again you come across someone who willingly shares their knowledge, expertise and even their equipment! Takis, from Greece, is just such a person (and not the only one I might add) and his generosity has instigated a step change in my dowsing […]

Metal Detecting With The Garrett Ace 250 by Crawfords MD

Posted on January 18, 2014 by David

The design of modern metal detectors aims to eliminate many of the hassles and disappointments associated with the hobby. These include the noisiness of a machine going off when it scans over top of any piece of metal, no matter how worthless, and an overly sensitive product. Old machines used to get excited about beer […]

Sharing stories of unique metal detector finds never gets old.  If you enjoy metal detecting, then hearing what’s been found by others is not only fun in and of itself, but, it also wets your whistle so to speak and gets your mind racing with thoughts of what you might find during your next treasure […]

Nazi Gold

I was recently sent this video by a Greek treasure hunter and thought it was worth sharing. The video is in English with Greek subtitles. Θανάσιμα Μυστικά ~ Αναζητώντας τον χρυσό των… by KRASODAD

Gold Auras

Posted on March 20, 2013 by David

  Many people say gold does not give off an aura and they’re absolutely right – if the gold is not influenced by an electromagnetic field. I was sent this photograph of a lady’s gold neck chain she was wearing, taken with a Canon DSLR camera fitted with an infrared filter. Had the chain been placed on a table and […]

Film for Polaroid Cameras

Posted on February 6, 2013 by David

  As many of you will know, with the rapid advancements in digital cameras, Polaroid ran into difficulties and the Dutch factory was sold to the management. The factory, under the name of The Impossible Project, is again producing SX-70 film to a different formula and slightly faster speed. The first of the new film […]
