Metal Detecting With My New Whites DFX Metal Detector

Metal Detecting With My New Whites DFX Metal Detector

I had in my collection about 12 hammered silver coins, none of which were of any great significance. I also had some 16th and 17th century tokens, 12 assorted Roman denarii and about 250 scabby bronze Roman coins. I also had a couple of nice medieval lead seals. My cunning plan was to open an e-bay account and use all of the treasure that I had previously found to finance my new and much desired metal detector, hoping to raise 50% of the cost of my new machine.

Everything looked like doom and gloom for my hobby, that is until I conceived of a cunning plan, to sort out and collect all the old tat that I had previously found on numerous metal detecting trips.

Firstly, I have been a serious metal detector for many years and have in this time covered more miles than I care to remember, but I still have plenty of go in me and I am hoping to go everywhere I have not yet been.

Previously I had a Whites eagle detector, my love for this machine was strong and the day it stopped working was the day my heart was broken. I thoroughly believed that metal detecting and I were soon going to have to part company due to financial constraints and the ever increasing prices of decent metal detectors. My need for a new metal detector was great, but unfortunately my need to pay the mortgage was greater. My future and metal detecting prospects looked gloomy.

Fortunately for me it turns out that old metal detecting tat is highly prized by collectors from all over the world on e-bay. I soon had bids on every single item that I had offered for sale on e-bay, it was also apparent that it wasn't going to be a problem raising 50% of the money for my new metal detector. In fact I totalled up all the bids and I was amazed to see it had exceeded all expectations, one particular coin; a denari of Nero was well on its way, having already been bid to half the price of my new metal detector.
