Stonehenge What a Rip Off ! What a Liberty !
We have made these Saxon metal detectors since 1979. Our first metal detectors. The Saxon and the Saxon
2 went down a storm in the late 1970's, being acclaimed as a best buy in
Which magazines test report in 1980. Since those early days of UK metal
detecting we have moved on a bit.
The Saxon 3, The Saxon SM30, The Saxon SM40, The Saxon X-1, Probably the deepest
seeking metal detector anywhere, and now The Saxon SM35 and SM45. These have all been
really good Metal Detectors, We have not made any lemons. We have always given a
two-year no quibble Guarantee; so confident are we in the quality of
construction and reliability of our detectors. Quite a few of our early Saxons
are still going believe it or not. Newcomers to this hobby very quickly get overwhelmed by the jargon, and to be blunt
'Bull' churned out by the metal detecting industry. The majority of
metal detectors sold today are of American manufacture, or more commonly these
days Made in China and badged in America. The American metal detecting scene
is completely different from in the UK . In America there is virtually
nothing more than 150 years old to find and the place is vast. Most
American detectorists have nothing more exciting than local parks or beaches to
search and this has led to such nonsense as the Notch, Target ID, Tone ID,
Programmable Discrimination, Target Depth Indicators, ( So who cares if its 3 or 7 inches you still dig it ). And whatever else
the marketing men can dream up. Fortunately for us detecting in Europe and
especially England is a completely
different ball game. We have so much to find. Just about every field will
contain literally thousands of non-ferrous items, many of them interesting and
many valuable going back thousands of years. Aren't we lucky? Picture a piece
of land just about anywhere, the size of a tennis court. And once every 100
years for the last two thousand years somebody lost something interesting.
That's twenty items. Fantastic! It's not that easy of course. Nothing ever
is. You need a reasonable detector, Something descent to dig with and lots and
lots of patience. Its a fascinating hobby.
