Please share the Metal Detecting News!
Hi, and welcome to the latest edition of Metal Detecting News!
This is getting ridiculous, another heatwave! How are we supposed to dig with the ground in full on concrete mode? Not only are holes impossible to dig but it’s like kneeling down on molten hot needles!
British rant about the sun over with, and hopefully we will get some moisture before Detectival & RCM events as they are just round the corner now. Good luck to everyone hitting the earlier rallies like Minelab 500 and Coil to the Soil hope the finds are plentiful!
As always, a massive thanks to our amazing sponsors, Treasure Hunting magazine, RUTUS, Composite Cleaning Pencil and The Big Detecting Show for their continued support.
