A review on the Garrett Pro Pointer and the Detecnix X-Pointer, I own both and this show reviews why I think one is better than the other

Talking to Minelab regarding the podcast - thanks for the positive input guys Minelab rucksak Sturdy material, seems similar to Cordura Stats - Width 460mm (18") Height 600mm (24") Depth ( I called it width in the audio ) 160mm 6.5 to 7" 2 useful front pouches easily taking 6" Minelab coil and valubles Expander bungy on the front, perfect for coats or tops! Fitted my trowel, coil, spade, headphones, WM10 and detector inside and I could carry it without it being top heavy.

It's here, the live dig of DOAM Check out the show notes and all the details on my web site 

This podacst talks about the steps I went through as a beginner, how to start and what to maybe look for. Begin in a club or with a friend if you can, check out what they and others might use. Look at the internet, see whats popular, speak to other people, walk before you can run. Seeking the first permission with a friend, on your own or with a club. Look at www.ncmd.co.uk the National Council for Metal Detecting clubs, insurance and details for the UK. Getting Digging Deep the newsletter. Some digs in the UK will ask for NCMD numbers. Digging with a spade, look at Evoution Pro Cut Spade and the review is here Dilemmas of a Metal Detector Spade Review The Roughneck spade can be found here Roughneck Spade good spade, reliable and strong. Sturdy boots are a great idea, but avoid steel toe caps as they will effect the detector! Dig neat holes, always leave it like you would want to find it. Look at Chef Phones here Chef Phones The Garret Pro pointer can be seen here Pro Pointer The Minelab pointer here Pro 25 Pointer The Detekniks Pointer here Deteknix pointer Check You Tube for ideas and suggestions on finds pouches.

Welcome to the Dilemmas of a Metal Detector podcast, the first one!   Yes we are detectorists not detectors, but this is a broad view! And maybe from the point, sometimes of the detector. looking at www.youtube.com and www.metaldetectingforum.co.uk  Also Pond Guru on You tube and www.bleeps.me   I talk permissions and the Isle of Wight.   Full of glaring errors that much more experienced podacasters would never make, and full of information that you will hopefully like, or loathe.   Either way, thanks for downloading and heres to part 2, which can only be better!
