Detecting with Shaun7.........UPDATED

[CRUSADER]

Spent 6 hours on one of Shaun7 fields. The plan was to lend him the Cortes & me try out the XP on a field which he had dug only rubbish from. I haven't dug so much rubbish in one day for many years. Its been dumped on with tin cans, foil, lots of coke etc...

Excellent warm weather & good company - cheers

I was very lucky to get a hammered as the signs were bad, hardly any lead & no Medieval or Roman bits.

Elizabeth I - 1579 Threepence
Countermarked Chartwheel Penny - 'Robinson, Cutler, Oxford'

UPDATED:
http://www.abccoinsandtokens.com/CT.0017.html
James Robinson was listed as a cutler at 46 Corn Market, Oxford from 1830 until 1847
The closest I can find to my coutermarked coin is above. I already have an 1807 with the same merchant but the stamp is the same as the one pictured. Can't find on with a 'Robinson' seperate from the Cutler , not sure if its rare yet. But I'll take it over a blank Georgian anyday.

They have big moles where he lives:

Re: Detecting with Shaun7.........

got the lobo working! cheers mate, is it supposed to sound like sooty and sweep?

That what my nickname for it

It will take some getting use to but its a good machine.

Do what I'm doing with the XP. Dig all until your know for sure.

Shaun just to say... I had a Lobo for six years and never had any problems with the ones pointed out on here, the only problem that I encounted was with the 8 1/2" round coil which is the most versertile coil to use with the lobo, I had three in total, in six years I used all the coils available to this machine and the 81/2" was the best. I used the discrim on 2 3/4 at this setting coke comes through with a broken crackle and that's when its right on top, at this setting you should not pick it up under the surface unless it's a very big peice, I have a couple of spare pods for the lobo send me a PM with your address and I will post them to you
is there any way of controling the volume?

is there any way of controling the volume?
Yes, with headphones with a volume control!

BTW what are pods?

Re: Detecting with Shaun7.........

It looks like you two have a very romantic and productive detecting place for awhile.

Not me, its to far to drive & dig rubbish. We proved this field is not worth the £5 a day.

What you got paid a Fiver to dig there

hey, its not funny! i've just spent all day trying to get some new land but everyone says no! mostly due to detectorists not getting permission and nighthawkers! like one farmer said today they've ruined it for everyone.
so it looks like i'll have to keep paying a fiver if i want to try my new toy!
thanks for all the advice by the way! i'm itching to get out with it!!!

I guess you lucked out then, some of us (wf4.nl) searched back then with a Lobo and we all had battery wire
troubles. Are the 8 1/2" coils the original black ones? I used only the wide scan oblong coils, a large and a
small one.

The 8 1/2" are wide scan and usually come with the Lobo, I take it the ones you are refering to are the oliptical coils which I have also used and have found to be OK.

OK thanks, I never used the 8 1/2", its still laying in my garage. Yes the oliptical coils, are great for searching in rubbish.

Haven't you notice everyone adding Elf to there name. Its a Xmas 'fun' thing. I'll be plain old Cru after Xmas.

Playing the maturity card now Strange as most of those who changed there name are as old as me or twice as old (ie your age). Talk about putting people's nose out of joint at Xmas!

No that's not it at all, just think its then a fad thing, didn't know you dig that sort of thing. But does not matter. I have only seen two members with Elf (could be many more I know, have not looked, only at the posts I have read I think...)
