Viking ’s opinion
Using a circuit first introduced in 1976, the Viking 5 is a detector that has stood the test of time, and remains relatively unchanged today. It is one of the best selling and successful metal detectors of all time. The Viking 5 is remarkably easy to use, having just two simple tuning controls. It has excellent sensitivity to gold, silver and copper objects, yet discriminates against small iron junk. It is often acclaimed for its ability to detect desirable objects in a heavily mineralized site or one littered with rusty iron, a feat that is often impossible for a detector costing many times the price. These are the reasons that this detector has established itself so successfully within the hobby. Working well on both inland sites and the beach, this detector represents excellent value for money.

Optional Extras

	Carry Bag- A carrying bag will help with much more than just carrying your detector. Stop it from getting scratched, or dirty and help to keep the value of the detector. There’s nothing worse than trading in an old machine for less than you would like because of a silly scratch or mark.
	Mini Shovel- Lightweight mild steel and fibre glass combination. This is an ideal utility trowel to have when detecting. The Mini Shovel has a wide blade which offers much more versatility and ease of use than the smaller trowel blades traditionally used by detectorists.
	Beginners Guide- This book is a very useful introduction to the hobby. Advice on where to look, what to look for, gaining permission, other detectorist's finds, cleaning, restoring & further reading. The Beginners Guide has everything you will need to know to get the most from this fascinating hobby.
