Pete, very few detectors are made just for one environment. Most are made to be used anywhere on earth. It rains here in Australia. A lot. But not as much as in England for certain. The soil is hard for about 3 inches and then is sandy here in Western Australia. All the way to bedrock.

I have quite a large inventory of personal metal detectors and a few new designs that I test now and again against some benchmarks. There may be differences in machines based on how they describe a target for one country or another but that's all. The circuitry remains the same.

I like the idea of a wireless detector. One of my designs has that in the specification. I just ordered the Bluetooth circuits to see how things work out.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

Thank you for the expansion of your explanation. 
My observation on the joy of walking the fields is that if you are a lone operator and you have the advantage of large designated areas to cover then there needs to be a better system than using the best metal detector and suitable coil.  Finding the odd coin seems to be a bit tedious even if the thought there could be the occasional valuable gold coin.  Even when there is a system for researching places with more provenance, it is a bit of a lottery.  What thoughts do you have on this for the more or less experienced?

Hi,
Personally, I'd go for the Minelab Quattro. Fine Machine.....
You can even use the coils from the "explorer" range on them....
