Thanks Meggie,
Bill Wyman was one of the members of the Rolling Stones Band. He got interested in metal detecting and found some Roman coins in England. He went on to find something that is now in a big museum in London. Be left the Rolling Stones and stared his own detector company and designed one with his name. I've never seen one I was just curious if anyone had seen one or used one. Thanks for responding. By the way I heard that on the radio here in FL a couple of days ago as a call in Rock N Roll trivia question.

I know these. He connected his name to it as he is a hunter too.
It's just a C-Scope metal detector. A well known and good brand.
C-scopes normally are fierce on small and thin stuff with their 17khz freq. Not that known as depth monsters but great on small/thin (think jewelery) and very old stuff (think celtic and roman).
You could compared it's performances and quality with tesoro detectors. Accept the difference in prices.
One small personal minor on this one, although it still would do great.
This Wyman one is a non-motion detector. I prefer a motion detector like the CS1MX or higher.

Yes, i own a simular one. A c-scope motion that is (without Bill's authograph). I love it.
(and it's very light to, so hunting for many hours)

Thanks for the link. After I heard about it I was curious.

Thanks beest for all the history. Seems to be a nice and inexpensive light weight detector.

It's the same as with the tesoro's. It's analogue.
Some prefer these very much, mostly for their simplicity to set to get great performances.
Were others prefer more (digital) setting options, pre-settings, id-numbers and much more.
Some love them, were others never can get a grip on them and hate them.

Thanks beest. Does Bill Wyman still promote them. You never see them here in the US. Or at least I've never seen one.
