Hello my gorgeous detecting friends, how are you!? Apologies for being awol, it’s been busy!
Here I am finally with my hands on one of those dimples pint glasses, it’s not got a chip in it, that’s a manufacturing flaw! Highlights of the last 6 months.
1. York - what a city! 😻
2. The excitement of spring, bluebells were early, a sign of a good summer to come.
3. New wheels, hooray
4. Covid returns to the house and leaves me with the gift of vertigo, the worst condition ever, and I still have it 4 months later but only when I’m laying down 🤔
5. Who doesn’t live a rainbow?
6 & 7 Penzance! A proper mental town during the Golowan festival, we also popped over the hill to St Ives which was a dream place, seeing the Tate and the Barbara Hepworth museum 😍
8. Lavender fields, GORGEOUS
9. The great hall in Wi******er
10. My new side project: Gift delivery service for cats and dogs: Birthday, new home and get well soon (if I’m forced to sit still I create things!)

I’ve not been out since early March digging and I miss it so, but I need to look forward to the autumn and softer ground conditions. In the meantime I LOVE seeing what you’ve all been up to!

Stay lucky 🍀 ❤️🪏👑

Good for any new joiners to the hobby!

The basic rules of detecting 1. You must have the landowners permission to detect on any land. This includes parks, public spaces, woods, common land and public footpaths! Permission must be from the land owner (and the tenant if the land is leased). When you do get permission to detect on someone.....
