That link does not work for me Lee, probably because I have adBlock which stops all of those annoying adverts!!?

Sometimes I find I can't view certain websites when using Internet Explorer... :g43: but if I try viewing the same website in Google Chrome it works. I favour Internet Explorer as I am a creature of habit but if it fails me, as it often does Google Chrome normally works... :g50:

Interesting article - however the term Treasure Hunter always annoys me - If this is what people think we are, then I would have been out of business many years ago.

Code of practice is not law,

If I have a small signal in clay then I will dig it, I am a construction worker and its fine for a JCB to go on a green field site and dig 3mtr down
