Metal Detecting

my advice is FORGET the 1p's
FORGET the 2p's
DEFFO FORGET the 5p's unless you have good eye sight
forget the 10p's
maybe dig the 50p's
£1 coins you are talking
£2 coins are the business!!!

My old hoover detector has a nasty habit of pulling out the decimal half pennies from 12 inches under!!!!
learn yr machine and learn to leave the pennies for the kids!!!! after all they get the enjoyment and you save yr back!!!!

That is sound advice mate, Thanks!

Unfortunately I haven't reached the stage yet where I can tell the difference. If I get a double beep it gets dug, lol.
I'm sure in time I'll get to know the detector, as you say.
Hopefully after the full day session next week I'll know her a fair bit more.
