Just curious if there was anyone near NW Ohio with an RV.

 I'd like to see if we could maybe arrange a forum meet at a campground somewhere.

 If there is any interest post here. If there is enough interest we will begin to work out some details!

  No it's not a race..... See below.                   No idea what 100mph is in K either   I do know a K is 5/8th of a mile but UK is miles

 

That's the very trip, 500 miles around the tip of Scotland

Wow! amazing. Wil you got to get a good metal detector for going around those old ruins.  It's just too ripe not too get one and it perfect for your vacations. All you need is one good hit and it's most exciting but, you have to be patient and learn it well enough and you will know just about what's there before digging. I am still learning after five years getting okay at it.

TBH I have given a MD some thought as there has been some really big finds here recently but as for the northern tip of Scotland there's not a deal there

 

I wonder is it possible to make a MD yourself, I did have one when I was a kid, not a very good one as I recall, we had 2 fields and one of them had been excavated to put a tunnel underneath which Robert Louis Stevenson  designed and built for a coal railway, the same guy as the Stevensons Rocket train but I never found anything other than bottle tops and nails

Todays MD's can differentiate between trash and higher noble metals giving you a reading on a scale to which gold, silver fall into. less noble metals like iron fall below zero and show in the minus area. The best and most successful detectors are Mine Lab Detectors where the older items are usually deeper. They can detect much deeper than most other brands.
