small world isn't? I'm not specialized in "frying pans" but I'm sure you both know what you are talking about when you describe your detectors. Is it possible to temper or increase the sound volume?

Nope, no problem for me. I know a lot of people in the area here.
They all find it positive. But I'm not telling everyone about it... just the people I know and who are interested.

Good one Nick! Simple ideas are the best. If you ever want to check around my area I know several great spots and I can get permission from a farmer too. One of this guys has a bunch of rifles in a well. He hid them there in 1940 to prevent the Germans from taking them. The well was filled with dirt after the war and the guns are still there. They are probably a bunch of LEBEL rifles

Well it's all a matter of digging ten, twenty or thirty meters deep and it's hard clay too!

and what about a swamp? Is your detector waterproof, or would I need a special model?

The coil can go under water but not the rest.... then you need a special model.

Reported or taken away? I always wait until I have a bunch and then report to the police, no need for ammo at home

Made some pictures today of FLAK ammunition bunkers north of Molenschot.
West from the airbase.

Here a few of them.
