Detector(s) used
XP Goldmax
For around 6 years now I've been using an Xp detector. These machines where made for finding small silver coins. Mine is now falling to bits, but like a terminator it just keeps going. I have lost count now of the hammered silver coins I've found with this machine.
This is today's find, the most satisfying type , right at the end of a bad session on a field that's been detected to death. It's an hammered silver farthing probably of Edward 1, new coinage 1279-1307. To show how small the coin is , I've got it on the end of my little finger.

Robert.

:hello:

Great find Rob :notworthy: Do you want to buy a newer XP?

Yep, I wouldn't use a detector that couldn't hit small stuff like that!

The only detector I've used that came close on small silver was the old Silver sabre plus ( a machine years ahead of it's time for the 80's). That motion machine single handedly killed Arados dominance of the British detector market.

Still a good machine now :o then after that it must have been a Lobo, when I first started in 2000, it was the machine that everbody had.

For me the next move forward was the laser B1, a while before the Lobo. I think this machine though did have in it Tesaro electronics.

forgot I used to have a B1 :icon_thumright: Yeah, the XP is great, even with the 11" Coil it hits these fine :icon_thumright: Just wish I had your hammered sites this time of year. Roman or nothing for me :-\
