    A days detecting in south Wales, UK

    I had a day off work today so joined Roman Ray bright and early somewhere in South Wales. As soon as we were booted and armed Ray took about 5 steps and produced a Half Crown which just misses out on being silver by a year! To make up for that he took another 5 steps and does it again but this...

    A days detecting in England in the snow . . .

    It was my first days detecting of the New Year today thanks to an invitation from Phil. Cheers mate! We headed off with Ron and Ray at 8.30am after Rob had spent the morning cleaning up "Puppy Poo"! I am not sure if the puppy was truly to blame judging by the smell in the Land Rover on our way...

    I pimped my Explorer this morning!

    Far too cold today in South Wales to go detecting, so I pimped my ExplorerII instead using self adhesive camoflage fabric. Quite pleased with the result as it was a mess before due to the previous owner trying to colour it black using a felt pen! cheers Neil [attachment 149675...

    American pre Civil War silver found in South Wales!

    After some household chores I popped up to the glorious Vale Of Glamorgan today to go to a farm I hadn't been to for over a year. The reason I went there was because believe it or not I dreamt about the farm last night. Being a big believe in Lucid Dreaming, and seeing as my dream had me digging...

    Finds from Cardiff SCAN Club rally - 19/04/09 - South Wales

    Managed to make the rally in the Glorious Vale of Glamorgan in Wales today despite a hefty hang over! Before anyone mentions it, it had nothing to do with the pasting that Cardiff City Football Club took - although that didn't help. Very well organised day, with signage and parking on the...

    A Roman silver day . . .

    We met at around 8:45am ish somewhere in deepest, darkest Wales - the kind of place where the men are men and the sheep are scared (they should be seeing John in his wellies! ) We are both armed with Explorer II's with a Muskie as a back up. Anyway we hit the pastures after a brief walk around...

    Managed to get out briefly today at about 10am with Johnny from www.DetectingWales.com to one of his fields. Johnny started the ball rolling with a well and truly battered hammie - looks to be Tudor Period. I followed this with a Medieval mount of some kind - with fixing hooks still on the...
