In this week’s solo episode, Katie is back in the field for the first time in a while with not one but two digs, while her ORX coil is still with Regton for inspection. She shares what it was like returning to detecting, how quickly the hours disappear once you’re swinging, and what she is learning as she gets to grips with the NOX 800 in both noisy and quieter ground conditions.
You’ll hear highlights from two brilliant club days out, including the friendly atmosphere at Hayling Detect (plus the legendary bacon sarnies) and a muddy Midweek Searchers session where the tones were clearer and the finds started stacking up. Katie also talks about the physical side of detecting, why warm-ups and mobility matter, and how she’s building back up sensibly after a few months away.
Away from the fields, it’s a podcast growth week too: social media, SEO, and a big hello to listeners across 73 countries. Katie rounds things off with community news, including the Bearded Bleepers exhibition at the Shere Museum, a spotlight on Darren Booth’s new side hustle “The Etching Booth,” and a quick run-through of archaeology headlines that caught her eye this week.
Next week: an exciting guest (or two) and an incredible find. No spoilers. You will not want to miss it.
