Field Tester Treasure Hunting Magazine

I first found out about metal detecting when my late grandfather had a machine purchased for him from his son (my uncle) when serving in the RAF in the early '70s in America. I fondly remember my grandfather waving around this 'magic' type gadget in the field at the back of his house, watching with the rest of the family as a young child in deep anticipation on what 'if anything' it would find.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to own and review many machines and seen how the traditional PI and VLF technology has evolved to simultaneous frequency machines, which are now available. I love technology and thrive on learning the new features of detectors and seeing just how far they can go.

Like so many others, I am lucky to find a hobby I genuinely love and have made some great friends along the way.
