Description

Hunting for pirates’ hidden gold and silver in the golden sands of a palm-fringed, exotic tropical island was the daydream of many of us when we were school kids. Unfortunately it is a fantasy that almost nobody can ever fulfill.This unusual and completely original book will tell you how anyone can embark on the next best thing though, and will take you on a layman’s treasure hunt under tropical moons and blazing sunrises; sharing a few of the secrets of how to recover some of the millions of lost items of jewelry and coins that lie buried beneath the surface of many beaches around the world.Peter Jaggs spent six months searching the seashore of a Thai tourist town without previously ever having had any experience of beach metal detecting, and the diary he wrote whilst learning how to do so provides a humorous, enlightening and entertaining read. Whether you are a novice or an expert, or even if you have never picked up a metal detector before, you will find that ‘Discovering Metal Detecting on a Thailand Beach’ is very much more than a technical guide to amateur treasure hunting and the stories and incidents recounted in this book will amuse and surprise followers of the hobby as well as those who are merely curious. Join Peter Jaggs and share in the sights, meet some of the characters and unearth some of the treasure he found during the time he passed using a C-Scope CS4PI metal detector on the sands of an engaging beach resort in Thailand.

If you are a regular runner, you will know how great running is to lose weight, tone up and improve your health. However, some people can feel very self conscious running outside, and can feel very vulnerable running when it’s dark.It isn’t pleasant to run when it’s pouring with rain either, so a good way of being able to run whenever you like is to buy your own treadmill for a weather proof workout. However, treadmills can be very expensive pieces of equipment, especially if you want a quality machine. Although you can purchase treadmills for just a few hundred dollars, they are unlikely to be strong enough or comfortable enough to withstand sustained use.One option is to purchase a used or second hand treadmill. These are basically machines that somebody else has used and no longer wants. Although you could pick up a good deal this way, buying second hand is always risky as you have very little comeback if a major part fails the day after you bought it.Many people are now turning towards purchasing a refurbished treadmill. This can be a way to purchase a quality machine at a much lower price than buying new. So what exactly is a refurbished treadmill?It is one that has been disassembled and rebuilt, tested for faults and any worn parts replaced. Quite often the treadmill has been sandblasted and repainted; in fact it should resemble a brand new machine. These machines have been previously owned and used, either by a gym or an individual, and refurbished either by the original manufacturers or a private company.Machines refurbished by a private company tend to be cheaper, which is useful if you are on a tighter budget. If you are able to afford it, however, purchasing a refurbished treadmill from the original manufacturer can give greater peace of mind as they are thoroughly checked for possible faults before being resold.The main thing to watch for when choosing a refurbished treadmill is the length of warranty which comes with it. You will need to know that you have comeback in case of faults or breakdown, and the longer the warranty the more confidence you will have in the reliability and durability of your machine.Always try out several machines so that you can choose one which feels comfortable for you. Make sure it will be durable enough for your needs, especially if you intend to use it a lot at a higher intensity. You may want to look for features such as an inclination option to simulate running uphill, heart rate monitor and programmed workout.
