A friend of mine who hasn`t long bought an Equinox asked me could he go detecting with me today as he was new to the Equinox and wanted a few tips & pointers on it,so I agreed. Arranged to meet him at 4.30 which I wasn`t that keen on today because it was still stifflingly hot even then ,and I knew it was going to be hard going, and my intuition didn`t let me down.The corn had only recently come off and was reasonably short to detect over but the sun sapped our bodies quickly. To make matters worse for him he came without his headphones, so that was the first let down. We then we set off ,. It soon became clear this field wasn`t going to give much up in the way of finds. It was about 700 yards square and had a pylon half way across it which sent my Anfibio into fits of gobbledygooks when I got near it so I quickly got out of its way.. A couple of large round-shaped rusty washers surrendered immediately without a fight ,but after that we might as well have been detecting on the Moon. Four hours and what seemed like around ten miles of walking later , all we had to show was me, a tiny button and a tiny fragment of what appers to be silver about the size of a cut quarter,but it wasn`t one, and two or three small bits of lead and my friend had a couple of very small bits of lead and a small bit of copper metal squashed up. Needless to say we left without shedding a tear .
I dropped him off home then proceeded back to my place where I felt like a Train had side swiped me and I had to get a bath to ease my poor body which was in shock because apart fro two hours a week ago I havn`t been detecting for 10 months.
So All in all , a very bad day at the office.
