Hi, I've been wanting to start with metal detecting for a long time now, and just bought a Dr.Ötek MT-XR which I believe is good for a beginner. Looking forward to scanning the beach on our daily walks. I've read the laws on metal detecting in Ireland and will make sure to stay on the right side of the law!  |

Just waiting for the rain to stop so I can head off to the beach for my first search. Probably not the best time of the year to start a new outdoor hobby! :-P

Dunno about that I like it when you can just enjoy the walk and take your time hassle free. |

I didn't get much on my first search, just a couple of pieces of metal and some empty cans. I found this piece of metal which may or may not be something interesting. There's no letters or numbers on it. It's in an area where a WW2 plane crashlanded and was blown up. postimg.cc/hXFkKvM5 |

Be careful the site is not protected.
When I started I found nothing for the first few weeks.
After a while you fiddle with the settings and start understanding the sounds and what they mean. I never look at the control box I just listen for the right sound.... the rubbish becomes less and less over time.

I did check on the Sites and Monuments Records map to make sure it's not a listed location, and it's all clear. |
