About The Site This site has been designed to give anyone with an interest in history a small insight
into the world of metal detecting and to give people an opportunity to see some of the metal artifacts and coins found by us in the S. Wales area
A browse arond the site will give a few tips
for beginners to the hobby.I use an XLT and Steve uses a DFX so we have also tried to add a few programmes
for other White's users and some
links to other sites that we find useful for interest and research.
We would both like to thank all farmers and landowners who have kindly given permission to detect on their land because without their help we wouldn't be able to persue our hobby and many more artifacts and coins will continue deteriorate, be damaged by the plough
and will be lost forever.Anyone in the S. Wales area who is interested in the history of their land, lost an expensive machine part or anything of any value is welcome to contact
us and we'll do what we can to help.
