Every seashell has a story to tell if you're listening
But underneath every shell there's a story as well if you've heard enough of the sea
Then everything on the top will just suddenly stop seeming interesting
So listen now to the sound of the things that are found underground
This was a very different scene also in Weymouth. I like the way the 'S' shape in the sand looked like a path this guy was using like a path, I don't think he found a horde of Roman coins though.
Getting back into the hobby after 4 years. Did everything wrong. Set discrim too high for nickels, soaked coins in vinegar. Live and learn!

Out with my metal detector today. I found (in an hour) 23 pennies, six dimes, one quarter, one fake Spanish (?) coin, and a 14k gold men's wedding band!

Israeli soldiers will not miss any opportunity to make Palestinian life harder. On this photo you can see Givati soldier who checks medical documents of elder Palestinian lady He knows her well because she cross this checkpoint at least twice a day, he knows that she is sick and she can't pass metal detector... still he acts like a real... "hero" and ask her for documents. Just to stop her for at least 15 minutes (sometimes couple of times more) to make her life even harder that it already is. Official reason - security measures.
Place: Checkpoint 56 (Shuhada St. entrance), Hebron, Palestine.
Just come prepared with a positive attitude and shoes that can be slipped off. Then all will be fine.

This is 'The Fly', a miniatue phone I picked up on ebay for £20. It's shorter and narrower than my middle finger, and really has to be seen to be believed. it's a full-spec phone that does all the usual calls and text messages, plus for some bizarre reason it has a voice-changer built in.
The X-Ray on the right (with an AA battery for scale) shows that there isn't much inside it - in fact, one of its claims to fame, apart from its size, is that it is hard to find using metal detectors. For some reason those two factors make it a popular item to smuggle into prisons...
Battery life is 2-3 days and it uses a slightly longer than normal micro USB to charge. SIM is a regular micro card. It's GSM only, so won't work on Three. I popped an EE card in and it worked fine.
When my late-teens kids saw it they decided it was a must-have accessory with which to impress their friends. I haven't seen it since!
Forensic Specialists and Firearms Examiners with the Montgomery County Police Department hone their skills by training with metal detectors. (more information)
The sound of a dozen metal detectors sounds like a cross between really happy geese and really angry infants.
I was asked to design a cake for a metal detector enthusiast!
I added a bespoke, personalised fondant figure of the birthday boy!
All hand modelled from fondant icing, 100% edible.

A metal detectorist filters away soil from a prospective find. Is it maybe an Iron Age gold coin - or a fragment of wire?
for some reason not one but two metal detectorists out on the beach this afternoon, just a couple of moments apart. They seemed to be following the big tractor which hauls along a big machine which churns up and cleans the sand, perhaps that makes it easier for them to find stuff

Next time I go to Waikiki, I hope to get some metal slugs and sprinkle them in the sand in the morning and take video of these guys in the afternoon,
