Hey Charlie, detecting in Germany is not nearly as popular as it is in America. The cost of detector for Germans is outrageous because of their import tax. A new DFX from whites will cost you in Germany around 2000 dollars. There is a growing community of detectorist in Germany They meet once a year in Trier for a week of hunting and camping. I've been to the last 3 meets only about 200 people attended each time. The city where I live has over 100 thousand people I've lived here for ten years and know of only 5 TH'ers from our city! The history over here is amazing you can drive down the roads pick almost any set of woods and you'll more than likely find something old. If you take a map of Wuerzburg 1:50000 and draw a 10 mile circle around the city there are about 65 castle ruins just within that 10 miles and thats just the well known ruins. I go to sites mostly in the woods the slopes are steep around the ruins and hard to hunt throughly some of my best finds have come from the slopes. I also look for the old trails and approaches to the ruins maybe 500 to a 1000 meters away and start from there. If you ever want to take a detecting trip to Germany just let me know I can give you all the info you need to make it a successful one. Rob

boot = a car's trunk
boot sale = like a flea market except everyone sells stuff out of the boot of their car.

.... tell her that to me scotch tastes like cleaning fluid and would have preferred some good sour mash bourbon .... but heck, when in Scotland ..... 
Nancy's aunt lived in an independent living facility in Paisley ... that was the first and only time I ever spent the night in a retirement home .... in their rental guest apartment.
Found the Scottish people to be very nice and accommodating. One day in Lockerbee, we were lost, wandering around town looking for a place to have lunch and it was about 1:30PM ... a half hour after lunch time. All the local pubs quit serving lunch at 1:00.
Some old guy heard us asking about were we could get something to eat and asked if he could show us where to go .... he actually walked us about 7 blocks away to a little neighborhood restaurant that actually served good old US style hamburgers! Then he wished us Yanks a good vacation.
Lockerbee was the only place where I was ever "beeped at" while driving around. Discovered later at a petrol station that the other car was a rental, driven by another American ... go figure!

.... the early 1800's British sailing ships because the desert looked like, well ... an unhealthy male part.
Here is some google info on it: The word "dick" has appeared in any number of strange places. Around the 1840s, "dick" was used to mean a type of hard cheese; when treacle sauce was added, it became "treacle dick", and finally when currants or raisins were added (looking like little spots), the "spotted dick" was born.
The earliest recipes for spotted dick are from 1847. For non-British readers, "spotted dick" is a boiled suet pudding, with bits of dried fruit (usually raisins or currants) that (as already noted) look like little spots.
The Oxford Companion to Food comments that, strictly speaking, "spotted dick" is made by taking a flat sheet, spreading sugar and raisins on it, then rolling it up. A similar dessert is "spotted dog," a plain cylinder of suet paste with the raisins and currants and sugar stuck into it, so that the spots are visible on the outside. Both spotted dick and spotted dog were traditionally boiled (or even steamed) in a cloth, but nowadays they are usually baked.
As bad as it sounds, it is a really great tasting desert. Most all the small town pubs have it listed on their chalkboard menus.
