ABOUT JW - HAVE A LOOK ... YOU MAY FIND SOMETHING OF INTEREST!
John Winter is in his early 70’s and has been writing every month since 2006 for The Searcher, a popular monthly magazine devoted to the hobby of metal detecting and published in the UK. He has also served time as an administrator on a couple of metal detecting forums. As far as he knows, the latter is his only esoteric foray into masochism and self-flagellation. You will find regular posts about metal detecting matters on here, but perhaps the approach is different to what you might expect. John will occasionally talk about other subjects that take his fancy. He pulled off the biggest fraud of his life when he successfully taught English language and literature to Buckinghamshire pupils for a period totalling 40 years. Previous to that he had been working as a colliery electrician in a Durham County coal mine. John has been married to Lynda (often referred to as Mrs. John) for 42 years, has two children, a boy and girl, three grandchildren and lives in Aylesbury. JW Says: Welcome to my blog and if you find it worthy, I would welcome a comment. If you find it super worthy I invite you to subscribe to my RSS feed and receive an email alerting you whenever there is new content. |

FASCINATING COIN
Although not English, this Canadian nickel could (perhaps) be the most interesting coin I’ve ever come across. Certainly a contender. What do you think? http://dtct.it/q1jTsu UPDATE http://dtct.it/H0fiZG __________________ |

The secret is to know your audience and adapt to suit … I failed with the ladies, then triumphed by using a new strategy.
