Ciaran,
I have to say, I am fully blaming you for my new addiction to metal detecting, Yes!! , it’s your fault now.. lol.
Your podcast was the first one I came across while looking for videos/podcasts about metal detecting and I must say, Please keep up the great work! Your casts get to point and provides solid information and tech info about the hobby that is very useful and understandable! The next time I’m in Europe(and who know when that will be with the COVID monster lurking) I definitely would love to detect in Ireland. As for my detector? Simplex all the way! The second day I had her I found a three ringer .58cal Civil War bullet in my backyard(I live in West Georgia USA), so we are fortunate with the area and relics, but, are nothing compared to the relics and coins you find over across the pond.
So to sum this rambling up, Keep up the great work and a deep thank you for providing a great source of info!!!
