Quote rabert ,....." I would prefer land to beaches but it's just the permission bit that really puts me off.".
Well ,that`s unfortunately part n partial of the "game". Sadly ,nothing is handed down to you on a plate , you have to be prepared to swallow the bitter pill and start door knocking, we all have to do it or have gone through doing it .
Of course ,no one likes a refusal, but that`s the way it goes ,some will give you permission, some won`t. You just have to take the bull by the horns and ask.
I`m sure every guy who ever asked his chosen girl at the time for a date would love a ,......." yes of course" but it never always turns out that way does it, and its the same with asking permissions to go on farmers land.
AS far as the detector goes you really could do with making a firm decision whether you want a beach detector or a land detector. Very few detectors do a great job on both situations, and the ones that do ,can weigh heavy to carry for long stretches of time. My suggestion to you would not to buy cheap ! Because if you do that, you only get what you pay for and next minute you`ll be put off that much because you will be so frustrated at your lack of good finds and digging rubbish ,you`ll jack it in anyway before long . If you pay upwards of £300 ,you start to get into the " half decent " detector range,and your then in with a chance of being increasingly interested ,and your momentum will be steadily encouraged ,but try listening to the guys on here who`ve had multi years of experience before buying as they can steer you in the right direction but only IF you take their advise ,but if you carry on frequenting Maplins and such crap places to see whats available you will surely waste your money, because the guys selling the few they do sell , have 99% of the time no experience themselves in using one.
So why ask some one who knows as much as you do what to buy ?
