Suzuki RG500 classic superbikes

Hi, Thanks for visiting our channel!

We started out as Benjamin, aged 11 and Edward, aged 5, with help from Rich (our Dad) and our first videos were about

- things we like
- products we buy
- places we go...

... but mainly FORTNITE, FORTNITE, FORTNITE!!!

we then started live streams of our favourite games on Nintendo Switch, XBOX ONE and now PC, which include:

MORE FORTNITE
Minecraft
Splatoon 2

But slowly slowly interested went on to other things and Dad has started highjacking the channel.

Starting with DJI drone, tech and purchase reviews, slowly the hobbies of restoring his Suzuki RG500, metal detecting and mudlarking became mainstream.

This will now be the core content of the channel.

    @ThomasDoubting5 Cheeky bugger lol, I had a black water cooled (rz350) with a nervous front end, and a white red water cooled (great bike, loved it) full fairing (rz350 fn)., but the RG was next level power/weight ratio and fun factor..

    ​@JohnSmith-sj2dk always dreamed of the fn version. I had the bikini faired 350ypvs, but back then, one with a full fairing was, in my mind, a proper race bike. Cracking bikes, but as you say the RG has that next level of 'oomph'. A standard RG is quite tame. This one at 110bhp is just right for power to fun ratio. ❤ thanks for watching. Hope it took you back, to great memories 👍

    why is all that in the field ? what was there before a market place ? Im from USA so a much newer country we can find civil war relics or old farm parts maybe an arrowhead from the American Indians not with metal detector OfCourse ... Strange to see you found so many coins in a field...A .Good way for me to find arrow heads is to wait for farmers to plow the field then wait for it to rain and then go look for arrow heads from Indians

    Hi. It is truly amazing and bewildering just how much has been dropped. The odd field may not turn up much, but amazingly in most cases, I found any and every field will deliver some coins. I believe it is purely down to the 1000s of years that we've been occupying this land. Recently I have been detecting land near a very old Manor house. I found a gold Edward III quarter Noble coin (circa 1330-1376). Amazing! A few fields along, we found over 100 coins, mainly from the turn of the 19th century, but a few older. So to directly, answer your question, I don't think a market needs to have been held and I think in the case of these fields, it's just the population over the centuries. In the case of the 100 coins, yes maybe an annual event occurred. It is similar here, if you can detect, then get a field ploughed, then it's like a brand new field to detect, you're certain to find more. I always thought of the US and Australia were the places to find the buried "Gold" treasures, but actually the UK is packed with dropped items. You literally find at least one coin on ever outing. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your experiences. Happy hunting!!

    What would you say is better, the Minelab Vanquish 340 on sale for £229.00 or the Garrett Ace £250.00? I was going to get the Dr Otek, but after watching this I don't think so. I haven't got loads to spend, so the 1st 2 makes you suggested are out of my budget. I would be grateful for your advice, as it's my first metal detector, many thanks Vivienne

    Hi Vivienne. The Minelab Vanquish, I heard, is literally the same technology as the Equinox, but is much simpler to use. Personally, I'd go with that. Maybe join our group on Facebook, South East Detecting. We've got lots of members to ask, who use them.

    Absolutely! I played with one of these in the twisties of Gloucestershire. A good friend and excellent rider. I was on my RG, but with everything original, except the engine and pipes. Totally ran circles around it, except for my lack of braking into the corners. With the Brembos now fitted, that would be sorted. I am yet to find a new bike that I would totally bow to, saying "Wow, that is quick". This is on the roads, not a track.
