Title: Re: Your best days detecting Post by: hedgehog on April 20, 2009, 05:05:19 PM Back about 17 years ago on playground with the bark covering, lone parent of 3 at the time, very little money but had a c scope 770D. Found £85 in coinage (that was £20 more than I was getting in weekly benefits!), that was a great help to buy shoes etc; did think at the time that the kids playing on there were given far too much pocket money, found six quid in one neat little pile.
Next best day was going out with my 1266x, just the fact that I had been able to save to buy it was great, a nice feeling going out knowing that if it is there you have a good chance of finding it Title: Re: Your best days detecting Post by: sodbuster on April 20, 2009, 06:31:57 PM Second time out , I found a roman bull figurine . I passed it through the P.A.S. who confirmed that it was a roman votive 3 horned bull , the figurine itself is made of a bronze alloy , and was more or less sitting on the surface.
After that I was hooked ! Title: Re: Your best days detecting Post by: hedgehog on April 20, 2009, 06:33:48 PM I don't get that bulls have 2 horns don't they? Ohhhh!
Nice find though. Title: Re: Your best days detecting Post by: Charles Cater on April 20, 2009, 06:39:57 PM Then why don't you send them to me,eh!!!! ::)

Title: Re: Your best days detecting Post by: waltonbasinman on May 27, 2009, 06:02:58 AM Best days detecting for me was Caerleon 1 rally. Although I found nothing significant I did find an awful lot of coins, buckles and the like. It was my best day though because it restored my faith in detectorists, having only previously been on weekend wanders rallies and seeing what a cut throat day it can be. All you folks made me realise what a good bunch you are.
