hey everyone,
I headed out today with a lot of excitement and very eager to get the new Deteknix Quest Pro out in the field for the first time. The weather was a little chilly in the brisk wind but the sun was out and so i was happy.
I headed to my usual pasture permission which has no livestock on in the winter time so i have free reign of it.
I only had a brief look at the Quest pro's manual before i headed out but still found the menu easy to navigate and set up. The settings i used were disc mode, gain at around 75, threshold at 1 and id filter at 25. once i had performed a ground balance the detector seemed very stable and i was ready to go.
I had a few interesting finds including a new cap badge, a strange modern'ish token and a kind of medal on a chain! but by far the most interesting find i had is what i believe to be a bomb or explosive tip of some sort!
I have re-covered it and recorded the find spot and contacted the land owner and now think i may need to call bomb disposal once i have you guys confirmation that it is what i think it is as i dont want to waste their time. It will not be disturbed where it presently is by a member of the public so no worries on that front.
here is a pic of the finds and a video below showing the bomb!
And here is a video of the bomb.
