Metal Detecting

Done it many times with various things. Finds pouch. Spade. Headlight and only 3 weeks ago drove to the beach and forgot my battery's were still on charge at home

Ah well... weather was pretty bad today anyway.
At least you didn't do it the other way round,forget to put it back in the van and leave it in the car park

Hi, i know someone who at the end of the day lent his detector against the hedge put his things in the boot then driving off and forgetting his detector he went back but it had gone. True story

Got to the field the other evening and released I'd left my Deus phones at home.....nice evening and only 4 miles back home so still managed to salvage a good detecting session....shame I found sod all!!

I did it a while back, but then I am almost seventy. Nock up a check list and then you will never forget anything. Now, where did I put me pen?

ok ok I did the spade thing too rl;

i drove 120 mile round trip once and forgot the battery pod on my cscope r1 it takes 8xaa batteries tried a 9v on it from a local shop as it has the same connection but it would shut down straight away when turned on, so a wasted day. rl;
ive heard of worse, people leaving there detectors perch up on the back of their cars and reversing over them. Leaving a deus control box on roof of car then searching the road side verges the next day to no avail.

The silver and gold obviously wasnt meant to be found that day, next time you go you wont forget a thing...........
You will find good next time at beach...........

Certainly feel for you, particularly after such a long drive. Worst I've done so far is to forget my headphones - got to the beach in a howling gale and could hardly hear a thing throught the Sov's built-in speaker. Got home later after finding very little, removed the dirt cover from the control box, then realised I'd forgotten that I'd also covered the speaker with electrical tape to keep the sand out!

On one occasion I forgot the headphones (pretty well essential for beach detecting) and another time forgot to put the rechargable battery pod in the detector.

Haha i wouldn't admit to that lol.....never left anything at home.....my spades always in the car...along with a spare in the boot
