TOP GUN competition success

Treasure Hunting magazine held a national competition to find the Top Gun of metal detecting

early this year and awarded the winner a

C.Scope CS3MX metal detector for their club.

The Top Gun winner was Kevin Reader, one of the original members of our club. His magazine entry is both informative and interesting, with images of his very varied finds.  His article also gives detectorists insight into the correct and possibly incorrect ways of detecting good finds. The competition article can be found in the March 2010 issue of the Treasure Hunting magazine.

 

Well done Kevin
