| Well I've written many articles before | | | | Travelling further down the road my |
| on Metal Detecting but I've always | | | | heart stopped. There was dozens of cars |
| concentrated on the serious side. I | | | | and members of a local club walking all |
| thought it was time for a change and to | | | | over 'my field'. Words cannot describe |
| write about some of those funny times. | | | | (and they couldn't be printed either) |
| It was a crisp, sunny September morning | | | | how I felt. I decided not to stop as I |
| and I was going to detect on a new farm | | | | couldn't bear thinking of what might |
| I'd recently gained permission to detect | | | | have come off, so I went to the next |
| on. I'd found hammered coins on it the | | | | village to another farm I'd detected on |
| week before and tokens and I was hopeful | | | | before. To this day I don't know what |
| of more to come. It was a lovely | | | | was found........but life goes on. |
| medieval village very close to a church | | | | There again it can never be as bad as |
| dating back to saxon times. I invited | | | | what happened to a mate of mine. After |
| both my mum and Dad and brother (all | | | | travelling for 3 hours and searching all |
| keen detectorists) to come along too. | | | | day he found a lovely Henry V111 |
| We set off and travelled for 2 hours and | | | | Hammered Coin and was delighted. He |
| as we were nearing the village started | | | | brought it along to our club meeting and |
| seeing signs for a major Metal Detecting | | | | subsequently threw it away by accident |
| Rally. I jokingly said to those with me | | | | with his crisp packet..............the |
| 'I hope it is not on our farm. | | | | pain!!! |
