The MX5 is a high performance metal detector based on the renowned MXT platform but with a redesigned feature set and interface.

The MX5 has state-of-the-art automatic ground tracking (AutoTrac®) which maximizes performance across many different ground conditions. It also features a 20-zone discriminator with both multi-tone audio and visual target identification. Each zone may be accepted or rejected, providing the user with a way to ignore certain types of targets like iron or foil.

In normal search mode the audio is threshold-based with multiple Tone ID options for the different discrimination zones. In addition to the audio response, the display provides visual information with an icon cursor that points to a probable target type and a Visual Display Indicator (VDI) number that provides even more detailed target information (see More Info for an explanation of VDI numbers). An estimated target depth is indicated by the depth bar. The Pinpoint and All Metal modes also provide an audible threshold tone, in addition to a user-selectable VCO response or a loudness response (non-VCO).

The MX5 requires 8 “AA” batteries which typically provide 30 hours of operation. Using the optional display backlight will increase battery consumption by approximately 20%.

A rare child’s coffin thought to be around 1,700-years-old has been found in a field by treasure hunters.

It is believed the lead coffin contains the remains of a child from a wealthy Roman who lived in third century Britain.

Members of a metal detecting club made the find when they were searching a field in west Leicestershire, about two miles away from where a Roman settlement and fort that is known to have existed.

The location of the site is being kept secret to protect it from looters and it is thought that the coffin could be the earliest example of a Christian burial in the county.

The coffin was discovered by Chris Wright, 30, a surveyor.

He said: ‘I cannot describe how it feels to find something like this. You spend hours walking around fields, sometimes with little reward and then you find something

A 1,700-year-old Roman child’s coffin found in Leicestershire that could be an early Christian burial.

An expert believes the lead coffin would have cost the equivalent of about £200,000, showing it belonged to a wealthy Roman family.

It was found four feet underground in a Leicestershire field by a metal detecting club, around two miles away from the site of a Roman settlement and fort.

like this.‘It is incredible, it makes all the hours

worthwhile, it makes you feel so good.‘We had been at it all day and then got a

signal - it was quite deep so I “ummed and ahhed” about whether to just ignore it and move on,’he said.

But luckily Mr Wright let curiosity get the better of him and began to dig.

‘I was digging like mad when we began to see what it was - not in a way that might damage the item I must add - but just in an excited way,’ he said.

‘It would be great to have questions answered such as why a child should be given such a high status burial and why the burial took place there.

‘But perhaps these are questions that may never be answered.’

David Hutchings, 47, founder of DIGGING UP THE PAST metal detecting club said: ‘It was about four feet underground on a field but the coffin was made of lead so we had no problem finding it.

‘It’s not been opened yet but it looks like it contains the remains of a child and it’s probably one of the earliest Christian burials in the county.’

After digging down and discovering it was a coffin, they called the police and a vigil was set up at the site to protect it from grave robbers.

Mr Hutchings said: ‘We assumed there were human remains in there so we contacted the police and they got in touch with the archaeologists from Leicestershire County Council, who also came out.

‘It seems to be third century Roman and because of the east-west alignment we think it was a Christian burial.

‘It’s a lead coffin and we think it would have cost the equivalent of about £200,000, so it was paid for by someone very wealthy,’ said Mr Hutchings.

The council archaeologists told the amateur treasure hunters it is a unique discovery and a find of a lifetime.

Local rector Linda Blay was invited to the scene by the club and plans to return to say prayers during the excavation.

She said: ‘It’s a very interesting find. They believe the body belongs to a child and it’s also thought to be a very early Christian burial.

‘I’m the rector of five churches in the area and none of them date back as far as the third century.’

Members of DIGGING UP THE PAST metal detecting club (pictured) said the coffin was buried four feet underground and has not yet been opened

Page 13: Relic Hunter Magazine Nov-Dec2013.pdf

Leicestershire County Council’s finds liaison officer, Wendy Scott, said they had to treat the find with respect and dignity.

She said: ‘We have to remember this is human remains - it is a child’s body - and the best procedure is to leave it alone and rest in the position it is in or rebury it.

‘It is the remains of a Roman occupant of Leicestershire so of course we are interested in it.

The coffin has now been removed from the site and is being kept in a secure location.

The coffin was discovered by surveyor and amateur treasure hunter, Chris Wright (pictured)

I had to work this morning, but I had the itch to get out and do some digging. I spoke to a friend who

reminded me of a site I hit a long time ago. It was his mother-in-law’s house and he said he would ask if I could do it again and he would get back to me.

By the time I was done working, he had sent me a message, telling me to go on up and do as I pleased. It’s so nice to have good friends who are supportive of my hobby and help me get places to go. (Thanks, Kyle.)

1 Afternoon!I had hunted this site before with the

Prizm, so I was hoping to find deeper coins with the MXT.

As soon as I turned on my machine, I remembered that even with the Prizm, I thought something wasn’t right with the ground conditions here.

This site borders and is on one of the historical landmarks in our area. It goes back to early Colonial activity. The house itself was built later (probably in the 20’s, but the land is much older.

Recent FindsI’m pretty sure fill dirt was brought in

to create a yard at some point for about a 50’ perimeter around the house. I could tell because the dirt was filled with clay and small rocks. The soil on the rest of the property was much different.

As I moved out of the fill and onto original grounds, it seemed to be highly mineralized. I just couldn’t get my machine to run smoothly.

I put in a good hour, maybe an hour and a half, and I managed to come up with a 1920 and a 1939 wheat penny, a smashed penny that says “Orlando Science Center” and has a turtle, and a rifle casing from a bullet shell. Total finds

As I was leaving, I noticed the next door neighbor was outside. He lives in one of the actual historical homes. I pulled over and introduced myself. He turned out to be a really nice guy, who seemed to be interested in what I was saying. Then he told me that HE actually has a machine, but he hasn’t had time to get out and use it!

I asked for permission and offered for all of the finds to stay with the home, and he said he would get back to me. I also offered to help him use his machine. (If it works out, that would be a really neat hunt!) I don’t want to get my hopes up, but I’m looking forward to it.

Since I had a go-to site in town, I wanted to head over to Anthony’s.

Once I got there, I tuned in my MXT and started playing around with different settings.

I started with the previous hotpots, but I only came up with a few pieces of trash

Page 15: Relic Hunter Magazine Nov-Dec2013.pdf

Relic Hunter November - December 2013 15

here and there, so I decided to work my way back to the dirt mounds.

On the way there, I hit a real jumpy signal and pulled out a wheat penny next to an iron nail.

I did a quick scan of the dirt mounds. I only came up with one signal - and it was a big one...

It was actually one of those headphone-blowing overload tones. It turned out to be another large horseshoe.

I felt that I’d cleaned out the exposed dirt areas to the best of my ability, so I decided to hit the front yard, where no construction work was being done.

The house sits on a major road, so there were a lot of trash signals including can slaw, bottlecaps, and aluminum foil. But out of all that, I still managed to come up with a 1943P war nickel.

Today’s finds at Anthony’sAfter hunting for another 20 minutes

or so, I decided to call it quits and head home...

So I thought.***On my way home, I noticed another

construction site, on a home that was being completely remodeled. This home dates back to the early 1900’s, so I HAD to stop.

I introduced myself and got the go-ahead, with a forewarning that they’d dug up a lot of trash in the yard.

I turned on my machine and it didn’t take long to see what they meant. I stuck it out for a while, but I dug a bunch of trash. And in the midst, I kicked up a really cool handmade oversized marble.

I few minutes later, I uncovered a rectangular piece of metal. It looked blank and I put in my scrap pouch.

I really wasn’t coming up with much other than trash, so I worked my way back to my truck.

As I was going through my finds, I discovered that the metal piece had some type of writing on it. I grabbed a bottle of water to clean it off and realized that it was a completely awesome find!

Just realized what this was...It turned out to be an old metal social

security card. Date to be determined. To think, I might have thrown this in the

scrap bin!So far, I can read the social security

number itself and a partial name of who it belonged to. I’m working on getting a complete ID and doing more research.

Social Security card - cleaned up a littleI went back and detected for another

half hour, just to be sure I didn’t miss another great find. Nothing but trash, so I decided to call it a day and head home.

Construction site totalToday turned out to be a really fun day.

I caught up with an old friend, I gained a potential new site and hunting partner, and I found some exciting relics.

It is so uncomplicated, consisting of only one main strap to support the weight of the detector rather than the many straps that other harnesses use unnecessarily. Using it, once set to fit the wearer you instantly forget you even have it in place. On stopping to dig finds you have the option of quickly clipping your detector off and laying it down or leaving it in place which because the weight is supported keeps everything out of the dirt and wet.

Designed and developed with the help of the well known UK detectorist Gordon Heritage. Gordon spends a lot of his time hunting in Rivers lakes and Fjords around the world for Gold & silver Jewellery primarily but is also partial to Roman & Celtic coinage and artefacts that were deposited or lost in European rivers & lakes.

Gordon selected the Evolution Pro beach scoop over many other scoops mainly for its ruggedness and strength of build. He used it as the basis for his idea of what a River scoop should look and be like. A normal Evolution beach scoop has 14mm holes all over its body. The new Pro River scoop has the same 14mm holes in the top half of its body but the bottom half has now been constructed with 3.5mm holes completely. This has made the scoop slightly more expensive to produce but it does what he intended.

Gordon was determined to design this scoop primarily to catch all the tiny Roman minim & small Saxon silver coins that would otherwise flow through the large 14mm holes of a beach scoop. The small holes also stop all the lead shot that hunters & fishermen have deposited in our rivers & lakes over the years. Why would anybody want to tip all this junk back out of their scoops to find again with their next signal.

Evolution Pro River ScoopThe only one available anywhere specifically designed for River and Stream use. NEW !

Page 27: Relic Hunter Magazine Nov-Dec2013.pdf

Evolution Pro River ScoopThe only one available anywhere specifically designed for River and Stream use.

In other parts of the world such as the US & Canada and parts of Europe this would also solve the problem would it not of small gold nuggets being washed through the larger holes in fast flowing river water. This could be the perfect tool for searching out river beds and swimming holes. Gordon has already used it successfully in the Norwegian Fjords finding Gold & silver rings on a recent trip.

Detectorbits is the Evolution sole supplier for this all new River scoop. The price in the UK and throughout the EU is £169.99 plus shipping and includes Value added tax @ 20%

If you live in a country outside of the EU such as the US & Canada the price is reduced to £145.00 plus shipping because you attract a zero rate of Vat.

Shipping price in Mainland England & Wales is £11.95, for all other areas of the UK including all Islands, the Highlands and most of Scotland, please email us at [email protected] for a price.

For all overseas areas please also Email us for a price. All Shipping will be by FEDEX signed for and Insured.

As a rough guide shipping to the US & Canada will cost around £34 English pounds.

All payments once shipping is agreed will be by Paypal in GB Pounds Stirling. Debit card payments can be taken over the telephone by arrangement.
