Just that really... DB loves going out hunting for treasure. Am stuck for ideas and was thinking some sort of accessory/useful addition might be the way to go.

Any enthusiasts out there with genius suggestions! Grin

A frame to put his first Tizer ring pull (or his first find/favourite find) into.

a glass covered table top cabinet to display finds. John Lewis have one for £12, but you could go as high as you like.

How old and what's the budget? What kit does he have already?

There is a magazine you could subscribe to, Treasure hunting.

He's 50 and I think only has the metal detector

In that case, various sizes of shovel? GPS gizmo? Or a hand-held pinpointer?

I don't know how much they are but DF has one of those wand things that detects when it touches metal - so he knows it's in a clump of dirt he's dug up, and then uses the wand to poke around to locate it precisely.
