Over 300,000 views of something I knocked on the spur of the moment. I'm amazed, thank-you very much for watching guys. <br /> <br />FAQ; <br /> <br />Q.What metal detector were you using when you recorded this video? <br />A.Minelab E-Trac. <br /> <br />Q. I'm thinking of taking up metal detecting as a hobby. Which metal detector would you recommend to me? <br />A. The Garrett Ace 250 offers a good compromise between price, ease of use and performance. <br /> <br />Q. Do you ever sell your finds? Will you sell an item to me? <br />A. No, I never sell any finds. Every item recovered stays in my collection. The only exception is when the owner (loser) can be traced, in which case the item is returned. <br /> <br />Q. Where can I get one of those plastic sand scoops seen in the video? <br />A. Many online retailers sell them, just type 'plastic sand scoop' into a search engine. Since I recorded this video they've become more widely available and prices have dropped. Home-made versions made from things like empty food containers are not very robust, they soon fail when exposed to wet sand on the beach. I know from experience; I got through several myself before purchasing the real thing. <br /> <br />I'd like to say thank-you to Pingstick (Dave), who was already busy searching on the beach when I arrived to record this video. He kindly agreed to show his finds on camera and helped record a couple of scenes. <br /> <br />Best watched in HD.
