It is quite old, but theres a lot older . Being the entrepreneurial type, i like to work on projects, if you would be interested in a UK detecting holiday, add me as a friend, if theres enough interest, i will work on it.

Tomorrows going to be the first trip to the site. Its forecast to rain, but should be ok under the trees I reckon. Im a little bit worried about demolition rubble spoiling the searching, but we will see how we get on

if a thunderstorm starts to form, do stop whatever you are doing and seek shelter. Never wise to detect in such conditions.

I certainly will shelter if it thunders, don't fancy being under a tree with lightning about, a bit of rains not a problem though, my machine is waterproof anyway

if memory serves me i think dan has a pod cast on just such a hunt http://thetreasurecorner.com oh ya thanks dan for thoes great podcasts should you see this thread

Well done on your finds, I will put my oldest and best find quote on here if requested. Don't think I will be doing podcasts but photos definantely. Just hoping the rain holds off for the weekend, not looking hopeful, but the search will go on

[GrandRiverRat]

That sounds like alot of fun. Like everybody else said, post pics so we can enjoy!

[searchin-the-UK]

No problem, will do. If this site turns out to be not so good, there's plenty of others I can go to and still post finds from those sites too if you all wish to see.

Well that was an experience!, theres not a great deal of detectable space due to very thick brambles. The woods themselves appear to have been used as a dumping ground for quite a number of years, so i was relegated to the meadows surrounding the wood, trying to avoid the horses!
Usual selection of bits n bobs but some nice finds too. The XP Goldmaxx power machine that i use is 18khz, and very sensitive to small items, quite a few siver items coming up from the meadow, which was no surprise given the history of the surrounding area.
FOR SOME REASON THE PHOTOS WONT UPLOAD!!!

[searchin-the-UK]

Anybody got any ideas as to why photos won't upload?, just keeps saying "upload failed".

[PullTabSensei]

Ive noticed my photos will take a while or will fail if im using an unreliable/spotty wifi signal

[searchin-the-UK]

Thank you buddy, we had thunderstorms last night so maybe a weak signal, I will try again tonight

[searchin-the-UK]

[Lineweed]

!? is that a gold coin?

[searchin-the-UK]

Unfortunantly not buddy, took the photos on my phone and they came out that colour due to soft lighting. . I'l post some more later when I get time of the kind of stuff we find over here but i'l do them with my dslr camera so hopefully they'll be Better pics

[emoryjim]

Keep the pictures coming --- those coins look pretty pristine.

[searchin-the-UK]

No worries buddy, i'l put some more on tonight of just general finds of the area, its a shame this site is so contaminated with demolition rubble and brambles, in 2 weeks time I have a week off work and i'l be on a site that's been producing nice finds from victorian right back to Celtic, maybe I should start a new blog on that one
