We're returning to Gileston!

Itss  80% cut bailed and as such our next rally will be held in this fantastic location.

We have had loads of hammered coins from Gileston as well as there being a Roman 'Hot Spot' there. We have also come away with 2 lots of treasure (Melonhead's ring and Bob's silver bodkin)

Will Gileston produce the goods once again ? Well the only way to find out is sign up and attend :)

The meeting time will be 9.00am and the rally will start at 9.30 am. The rally will finish at 5.00pm.

This will be a DetectingWales.com members only rally and I'm afraid everyone attending must be over 16 years of age. Usual terms and conditions apply. Everyone who attends does so at their own risk and we recommended that everyone has civil liability insurance. If you are a member of a club you will probably already have this. Please check.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

The location of the rally will be sent by private message to everyone who has signed up the day before the rally.



Entry is  £7 per person, pay on the day.

H.H

cheers Rob looking forward to this 1

Well done Rob, can't wait I was only talking about Gilestone to someone the other day.
Geoff

Looking forward to this. I haven't been out with the detector in ages!

An update on the silver bodkin:
British Museum have decided they want it. They have valued it at £40 because of the damage.
They said if it had been in better condition then it would have been in the hundreds.
My grandson Joe (the one who found it) is ok with the valuation and wants to split it between himself and the farmer which
is a good attitude to have :)
Now we just wait I suppose until they send a cheque?
Bob

really looking forward to the rally and meeting people,putting names to faces etc.

Sorry,would love to attend,just a bit to far for me at present👍

Would love to go but we are away that day off to Cornwall never mind hope u all have a nice day thanks sinky.

Rob, have put my name on list but as usual I will be attended by my chauffer and 2 guard dogs.  If this is a concern please give me a shout.

well done Val, looking forward to seeing you again.

Keep your eyes peeled Alan, I might not last long but it'll be nice to see some of the familiar faces again if nothing else.

lol ... i'll keep my eyes peeled, providing you search out that tall dark handsome welshman!!!  ;D ;D ;D ;D

can you add myself and slowsearcher please

Sorry to mess you about can you take us both off myself and slowsearcher the wifes just informed me that we have somthing on that day but will see you all on the sept 13th thankyou

Please would you add me to the list for this rally. 

Many thanks.

Out of interest, what does it mean on the rally list when 'Tafflaff (Rob)' is next to your name?  Mine has this and so does someone else's name but I'm confused as to why or whether it means I'm supposed to do something????

Thanks....

Yes, you are s'posed to click the box that says 'Sign Up'  then it's automatic.  If you simply ask for Rob to do it that's how it shows up.

p.s. don't do it now. Remember for next time.

p.p.s.  Theres a other box by  your name on the sign up list that says  'Cancel Signup'  click this if you can't go.

Thank you Val! And apologies to Tafflaff for having to do it for me.

What a dingo I am...now that you've explained it, I think I've seen that exact same conversation on a previous rally thread....

I managed to work the sign-up process before, so not sure why I missed it this time!

Thanks again...

I thought that when Rob [ tafflaff ] puts his name next to yours it means that he OWNS you  ??? ??? At least thats what he kept
telling me  ???

How could he own you Dylan,  you're a National Treasure  ;D

Me please, if there's still space.

You need to click the Sign Up button Steve

cheers
Neil

My design suggestion for the sign-up button  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Members will still miss it  :D

I told the wife I'd got to go to this one did whisper it was a 2 hour drive I think she heard me lol .Its been so long since the last rally and this site looks fantastic I'm sure she will be pleased when I show her all my Roman coins I'm gonna find.

Apologies but I appear tobe unavailable according to the other half lol and have had to cancel

Weather looking good for the weekend 8)

Looking forward to this rally - I found (on one of the far fields) my only Deus hammered :)

Is the really good field available this year? Will they all be disked - I know there was a part of the field by the sea that was a bit heavy going, but I was still glad to be there.

Any tips for rally probono?  ??? ;)

ROB,    Do you know what we'll be 'tecting on,  i.e.  stubble, plough, grass etc..    Some idea so we know what boots to put on and how many Ipubrofen  to take   ;)

I've only been there once - there have been a few rallies there and they always seem to turn up some interesting stuff - although what I mean by the 'good' field wasn't available last time, so I can't tell you what it is like :)

how many rallies have been held on this land is there land not previously detected,
 its an eight hour round trip for me

lot's

We annually have a rally there and always end up with decent finds. We wouldn't go back otherwise.

As always its impossible to know what will come up - that's the joy of detecting.

Cheers
Neil

 

ok its on, we will be the ones with the red eyes see you sunday

 A rally report and photos from a previous visit. Enjoy.

Was that the one where Alan got his new name,  Deadlock.  Bet he really wanted to be reminded of that. ;D

Thanks Val that was a bad day for me, never to be forgotten and if i had a pound for every time i heard got your keys today Id be a rich man, And not wishing to temp fate I wont be attending this one but wish you all a great days hunting.

Help, we were signed up for this but today I cannot see us on the list, or should I have gone to specsavers
rookypair

rookypair are number 92   yep need to go specsavers lol

OK
I see us now but we have the usual sign up tab at the bottom of list and not the tab which you can use by our name should we want to cancel? (Tried logging on again but tells me we are already booked in. Something is amiss

dont know about that have to ask a moderator,    mine still says sign up even though i have but i do have the cancel box there.

Mine also says sign up, but I do have the cancel next to my name

has anybody received directions to the rally yet? or maybe they are posting them a bit later,they have a lot to reply to.

Nope, nothing yet but then I think dem gremlins are playing around.
They normally 'shout' when directions have gone out.
Cheer
rookypair

Rally details received - thanks

Hi

Is this the farm we attended last year? The only reason I'm asking is that the postcode is different, although it seems to be the same location on the map you provided - I just didn't want to turn up on the neighbouring farm and look a complete idiot (wife reckons I don't need any help doing that anyway!)  ;D

Cheers

Tony

Searcher Steve unable to attend due to work commitments now... Sorry guys..👍👎👌
