Hi Silki
Wow that is a very cool find. I would have spent hours and hours night and day in that place! It looks like the perfect spot.
I am not sure if I am breaking any rules by sending you a website to go to for metal detectors but I have just started a site

xavier, I looked at the mold (mould) of your coil and I'm trying to figure out how it is constructed. Did you start with a wooden pattern and build up the mold on it? If so what is the white layer on the inside of the mold? What was the final resin you used to cast the coil in and how did you keep the wire of the coil off the mold? I know there are lots of questions here but I have tried the same with problems and would like to learn from success. Gambol
