Apparently that top has 24 crimps on it but in 1960 all bottle tops crimps was reduced to 21 crimps so that top will be at least 60 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it may have been mid 80's when they changed to the plastic and I'll bet 21 crimps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaklander Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It was a better day there than here and that Landy is still lovely. Looking at your haul, might I suggest a re-think about where you go swinging? Might be better focussing on Anglo-Saxon stuff under some soil somewhere. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverik Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 What gear do you use, I've always been interested in detecting but not quite taken the plunge in getting a device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Maverik, yeah I don't have anything special as I'm still classing myself as a novice as I've only been doing it for the past 2 years but more this year with having the landy on the road, i now have 2 detectors one is a C scope 4pi ( pulse induction ) and the other is a Tainxun TX850 which i have just bought and getting use to there doesn't seem much difference between the two but I plan to go out one day with both machines and cover the same patch with both of them and see if there is any difference and I also use a Nokta pinpointed as well and that's it really, oh and a sand scoop 4pi £260 tx850 £150 Nokta pinpointer £100 Sand scoop £75 all off Ebay and bought new obviously you will need a finds bag maybe headphones and stuff but they are to your preference, hope this helps.

Cornish Rattler Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Once we can all travel around the country again i will be back on it and hopefully be getting insured to get permissions and go on farms as well as doing beaches 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
