Viking, the link to the page is in my last reply..... My coins have not sunk yet, but hey still interesting Wise

Xavier, I must admit, finding coins instead of sining them is much better, but hey Uncle Peter has to get the brains moving Shocked

Hello Guys ! Dont try to bury me so quick ! I am still alive and kicking ! I see - lots of K@K talk about sheep's and PIC (?) - as always , which is all right as long as you dont use sheep's for some " funny " purposes ... I was supposed to go to Sodwana for Easter to look for diamond rings but got sick and I dont trust doctors at all , so I will sit around and maybe try to dig some old, broken nails and bottle caps ! Found some old newspapers which will study to look for " real treasures " ! See samples :

Mmmm just read the thread, it HAS actually turned out to be interesting. Well done Pgill old boy!
We can't all be scientists I suppose.
I'm thinking about putting a robot together, metal detecting robot that is. Set it down on the beach and let it search. It can mark targets by dropping a bright ball, let it run for a bit and then start searching the areas where the balls are lying.
I'm trying to figure out how to make it ignore bad signals and only drop a target when it hits a good note.
What do you huys think Doable?

NO you would run out of balls not to mention that you would not be able to see half of them but if you had a lodger with a GPS then yes

Hi Silki, great to have you back with us..... although now I am scared "I dont trust doctors" and you are one Amen

Where do you get all those newspapers from? Huh?

look like great reading Great

Oh and where have you been.... you are supposed to be sticking up to me... these other guys are brutal to me Angry

Viking, the sining coin experiment has taken on quite a few interested people who are wondering about the same thing.... I take a photo every Saturday and post them Great

Not much yet has happened but hey, It will take time..... Teach

I like the idea of a robot detector, and actually should not be too difficult if you have a pic programmer around :

Xavier both brains and coins must move together, otherwise will get dizzy Crazy

Very soon , even pull tabs will became great find and we will publish photos of them ! Maybe we should organize something which Viking described - this treasure hunting competition were we will be looking for previously hidden " treasures "? Peter , that book , which I was mentioning before I bought on the : Loot.co.za : Metal detecting search , I also bought ; " Metal Detecting Tips " by David Cardwell - which is completely useless - stay away !!
