@oldtimer: I'm thinking of getting either the Dr.OTek MT-XR or the Go-Find 22. Any thoughts?

Both good detectors , the Minelabs fine but tbh i would probably buy the Dr.Otek ,its got great reviews .

This is definately on my to watch list, loved the story of this and it's such a shame with what they did to Ken and what happened to him as he was supposed to be stupid fast and they capped him as he wasn't their Star driver.

I have a Garrett Ace detector def NOT a toy , well worth the money .

Gerry Marsden (Gerry and the pacemakers) never walk alone ,ferry cross the mersey etc.

Im a detectorist myself , have been for years, but beware lots have an undeserved bad reputation for "nighthawking" ie detecting scheduled monuments and such places at night illegally. Best join a club then you will have access to all sorts of decent places to detect. I do some of mine on seashores ...

Pirate radio , An illustrated Hisory.
Great book.
