Hi all, I have just purchased a Fisher Coinstrike and I am a complete
newcomer to this hobby, and would like some help in getting started.

Thanks John.

The first thing you should have done is asked before you purchased the
detector,
but at least it wasn't a Tandy. Not that theirs anything wrong with the
coinstrike,
but you could've bought a Tandy. Am I making myself clear? No, I thought
not.

John,
what you need to do now is get in contact with your local club, and join
either the fid
or ncmd organisations for there public liability insurance. Try these
websites :-

http://fid.newbury.net//

http://www.ncmd.co.uk/

They will also point you in the direction of your local club.
Whereabouts are you located?

Regards,
Texy

Hi all,

Managed to put the batteries in OK. Spent an hour wandering up and down the
beach where the Romans landed at Hamworthy, all I found were about 20 coke
cans, empty of course, a 1971 1p piece and several dogs visiting cards.
There must be more to detecting than this. Then took myself off to the pub
for lunch, then a thunderstorm stopped play for the day.

John.

This is all part of the pleasure of beach detecting. Have you any land
you can do. Back gardens usually have too much rubbish in them. Ask a
friendly local farmer and join a club as has been suggested.
Unfortunately drinks cans and ring pulls usually give a good signal
and beaches are littered with them, discrim them out and you will
knock out most of the good stuff. There are good times to search
beaches, after a storm at low tide, have a search and you will get
more info on it. Also get your settings right.
Wish you well
Rev
