How deep can a metal detector actually go?
In this clip, Phil Beck breaks down what really affects depth — from target size to ground conditions and detector setup.

Because depth isn’t just about power… it’s about understanding the ground beneath you.

In this clip, Luc Van Assche demonstrates how the stabiliser on the Minelab Manticore smooths out your signal — reducing interference and helping you focus on what matters.
A quieter machine… means clearer decisions.

In this clip, Mark Lawrie explains how noise cancel helps your detector deal with electrical interference — keeping your machine stable, quiet, and accurate.
Because a smoother signal means better finds.

What’s the difference between CW and VLF?
In simple terms, it’s how your detector sends and receives signals.

CW (Continuous Wave) detectors transmit a constant signal into the ground. They’re simple, stable, and form the foundation of early detecting technology.

VLF (Very Low Frequency) takes this further — sending continuous signals and analysing how they return, allowing the detector to identify and separate different types of metal.

That’s why VLF machines are so widely used today — they give you information, not just detection.

In this clip, Minelab explain how these technologies work — and why they matter when you’re out in the field.

A fond farewell to Gabbie 💙

Today is Gabbie's last day at Crawfords, and we couldn't let her go without saying a proper thank you.

Gabbie has been part of the CMD family for almost six years (and what a six years it's been). Full of life, brilliant with customers, and someone who genuinely cared about every single person she spoke to. When she first joined us, we didn't offer finance at all. Today we have a range of finance packages that have helped so many of you get out in the field — and that's almost entirely down to Gabbie's hard work.

But she was never just about the numbers. You'll have met her out at events, packing your orders, sharing advice and cheering on your finds. She threw herself into everything, and the team won't be the same without her.

From all of us at CMD: thank you, Gabbie. For your hard work, your warmth, and everything you've given this business over the years. We're going to miss you terribly.

Wishing you all the very best for what comes next — you'll always be one of us.

So please, put your hands together for Gabbie 👏

In this clip, Luc Van Assche explains why increasing recovery speed in tougher conditions is key — helping you separate targets and avoid masking.

Drop it too low, and yes… you might gain depth.
But you’ll lose targets.
Performance over depth. Every time.

In this clip, Mark Land Phil explain the science behind pinpointing — how your detector narrows the signal to help you locate a target accurately before you dig.

Less guesswork. Cleaner recoveries. Better results.

Not every signal is safe to dig.
On the beach, you might come across sharp objects, unexploded ordnance, or hazardous items — and knowing what to do is just as important as knowing how to detect.

In this clip, Paul Cee explains how to handle dangerous finds safely and responsibly.
If in doubt… don’t touch it.

Every tide shifts the surface, revealing fragments of the past — coins, artefacts, and lost items that tell the story of who’s been there before you.
In this clip, Paul Cee explains how metal detecting can connect you to the local history beneath your feet.

Because sometimes, what you find… is a story.
