Metal detector needed

A year ago I buried a set of keys and now cannot locate them! Anyone have a metal detector I can borrow?

Without asking the obvious I would also be interested in its use for half an hour in the autumn. We have a small allotment at the back of the garden and I have dug up a couple of old coins. Would be interested to see if there are more down there...

What coins did you find?

I found a 1912 vintage silver threpenny bit with a small drill hole as though worn as a necklace, and a half penny that I cannot see if it is Edward VII or George V.

I wonder how they were lost, and if they were missed- three pence was not an unsubstantial sum in 1912.

I suspect they had them in their pocket while gardening... At least that is how I can imagine it.

Im a Metal Detectorist, so I can offer my services.

Metal detectors aint as simple as people think.  Even tho my one is pretty simple.  Theres alot more to it, than digging a beep.

My services are free.
I normally have an arrangement that I find the item you lost and anything else is mine (with a mind to it being given to the local museum, if important).  Otherwise its a 50/50 split.

My prime interest is local history, rather than the value in me pocket.  Our museum lacks social history and I intent to change that (slow as it might be).

Hit me up with a connection, if interested :)
