One of my all time favourites. R.I.P. Norman.

Good to see them using detectors, every little helps us.

That looks like the dogs doodahs. Can't wait to see the results.

There is a railway bridge which crosses the A30 at Goss Moor, near Bodmin in Cornwall. Numerous times every year it would be hit by lorries which were too high. The signpostings were ample , and advance warnings, with alternative routes were very clearly displayed, but it still occured several times...

What a pillock.

As far as I can work out, this camera will focus down to 6cm in macro mode as long as you haven't used zoom. At 6cm you should still get superb detail with this amount of megapixels. Are you sure you are in macro mode? - if so make sure you're not closer than 6cm, and make sure you have the camera ...

Thank you for posting this link. Yet again it highlights the way in which our hobby is being spoiled by criminals, and detectorists who are not responsible, in their actions. We cannot accuse the authorities for taking a hard line, to overcome this problem. Anyone who leaves a hole not backfilled is...

It just gets, better and better.

That's an interesting article. Something which I learned early on, when I started detecting was, if you are in a field, and there is an area where nettles are growing, it is a good sign of there having been a building in the past.

I think it was between the lead and foil ages

No, you are wrong.

The copper age was what we had before the washing machine age.

Heard it on Radio Cornwall this morning.

Imagine, sandals with four inch built up soles, for getting around on ploughed fields.

I have never used it Puffin, being a bit of a thicko, when it comes to using something a bit different.

Just flicked through it. What a brilliant issue again.

Congratulations to everyone involved, including the contriutors.

Oh, and by the way, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Fantastic find, and if that came off the site I think it did, he done extremely well.

Great news.

WOW !
