I select tools and devices that will help in the field. Today I’ll take a closer look at the plastic scoop. I’m not promoting anyone and I’m not advertising anything. This is probably not the best or cheapest option, but I chose for…

A metal detecting event – XP Sponsored Gold Summer Rally 2016 – will take place on 17 and 18 September in Oxfordshire, UK. They promise to give away 150 different prizes, among which there will be 10 XP Deus metal detectors and… 20 new XP…

For diggers from Siberia, my blog should not forget about the comrades on the other (or that) side of the Ural Mountains. Very curious and interesting coins were minted during the reign of Catherine II in Siberia. Catherine the Great was a…

I have been interested in instrument searching for several years now and have almost by eye learned to determine which coil I will need for a successful dig. Guys often ask me which coil to choose - mono or DD? How to choose a coil for…

Today I decided to remember the distant autumn of 1997, when a large medieval treasure was found in the town of Fuchsenhof in the vicinity of the picturesque Austrian town of Freistadt. As usual, it was discovered by our colleague, a man…

I never looked for gold, only coins in the fields, helmets at battle sites, and various small things. We don’t have gold aureuses (at least the Romans didn’t get it, but there are rumors about Roman treasures), gold in its pure form is also…

After using the worst cleaning methods, for example, citric acid, vinegar, etc., the question inevitably arises of how to return the lost panina. The simplest of all imaginable and not so simple methods is sulfur ointment. You can get it…

How can we introduce our readers only to photos and texts, and bypass videos? I don’t believe it, absolutely not! A friend recently went to an old village, picked up about 9 coins, all across the Empire, while I sat and disappeared all this…

Hello everyone! There is such a channel on YouTube — Monetos TV makes various videos about coins (educational, in general), but this good is financed by the Ukrainian auction Violity. I’m usually amused by the pronunciation of the…

I love watching military equipment being pulled out from under the water. Or from the swamps. Or they dig it out of the ground. It doesn’t matter where it comes from, but it’s always an unforgettable sight — the cables are held by an…

Many times during my digging I found various unexploded shells and other dangerous things lying in the ground. I would never even touch them, because who knows what in this rusty iron thing will work and happen in a second. Maybe nothing,…

It’s been a long time since I dug a military record and didn’t travel through the Second World War, the coins are all too tight, to find an unknocked field and knock it out for two months is worth it — medieval silver and coins from…

A guy discovered a treasure of copper coins in the garden of a former village! As many as 17 kg of late royal copper. The video is quite truthful, it does not seem to be fake. I calmly called and got him without any lamentations or dancing…

Everyone has the concept of «treasure» denotes something of its own, its own and separate. For some it is a treasure chest, a stash, a scattered wallet in the open, and for others it is a «treasure» This…

Another amazing coin found in Ukraine — rare gold ducat of Sigismund III Vasa, minted in 1625 in Danzig (aka Gdansk). In the Tyshkevich catalog it is valued at 50 marks in gold. Rare specimen! Started at auction for 1000 euros, now…

Today I will talk about the Turkish device Nokta Fors Relic, fortunately I have already managed to use it quite extensively for six months. I'll start, perhaps, with the search modes, of which it has six different ones — GEN, DI2,…
