Ha! Not found any retro bling in the house yet - doesn't work on aluminium... I actually headed straight outside to the front garden... Within 20 seconds on one of the preprogrammed settings I'd got a solid hit with a coin indicator and a reading of 73... The manual reckons to dig on anything over 50. The target (check me!) is located 13 inches down...
Now the good bit... I couldn't be arsed to dig it as it was absolutely baltic in the front garden and I retreated to the warm to continue reading the manual!
When I get around to the excavation, I will post a picture here!
Paid £200 for detector and the chap kindly threw in a pinpointed as well... So i think i got a pretty good deal!
