Industry News
I noticed a few announcements on Facebook this week from people who’ve been accepted into Team Minelab, so congrats to Jason (Dark Knight), Mental Detecting, Sam from Soil Sisters, Joe R Allen, The Sussex Searcher, and everyone else who’s been accepted.
In disappointing news for the community this week it has been announced that Detectival will not be taking place this year ;-( I’m sure it will be be back bigger and better in 2027!
Not long to take advantage of the following offer…
Our friends over at AMDS are not only offering an amzing £10,000,000 in public liability insurance for the princely sum of just £5 per year for membership, but if you become a member or renew before 31st March this year you’ll automatically be entered into a draw to win a Minelab Manticore - kindly supplied by Crawfords - no brainer really!
