Is It The X Or The XP Factor?

Hi folks, Gary Blackwell from XP here.

Is It The X Or The XP Factor?

One of my good friends, Vorax from Romania (pictured below right), has just sent in a fantastic post for the XP classroom blog that I would really like to share with readers of Treasure Hunting:

“It was late 2010 when I finally got my hands on an XP Deus and since then I have unearthed many interesting coins and artefacts – of course, I think the detector I am using is partly responsible for this, together with a lot of luck. I firmly believe that you can influence your luck by focussing on your own feelings, which is exactly what happened to me a little while ago.
