Being a dedicated Minelab owner/user for the last 5 years and knowing how good they are myself and my mate Alan decided to go out on some land we knew had been "hammered to death" here in Scotland. I had been ill for over a year and got diagnosed with a thing called Celiac disease and wasn't really fit to work or detect for a while. My mate Alan kept calling me up too see how I was doing and to see if I would be up for some detecting. After a while I started feeling better so we arranged a small trip. Alan took his camper van and travelled down from the Orkney Islands to just outside my hometown in Stirling, Central Scotland, where we based ourselves for a week solid metal detecting. We armed ourselves with an E-TRAC, Explorer SE and a GPX-4500, got in my small 4x4 and headed off to the first location where we spent the first few hours having a bit of a competition as too who was finding the most lead. It really was a lead fest then a bit later and pow! Alan pulls out a half cut Henry III hammered coin not much else was coming up except lead and lots of it which considering the site was supposed to be done to death was unusual.
