Morning all

A friend of a friend has managed to lose his wedding ring (white gold) in a farmers field whilst carrying equipment to a marquee he was playing at in the Vale of Glamorgan. He's pretty sure of the small area he may have lost it in and has sought permission from the field owner to search it.

Unfortunately I am unable to help locate it at the moment due to my knee flaring up again and I simply can not kneel on it.

Anyone out there able to help find it? If so drop me a PM and I'll send you his mobile number.

Thanks for your help guys and gals.

Cheers
Neil

I'm retired these days, so I can probably make it tomorrow Neil, (as long as its not chucking it down).
If its not been found by end of play today, perhaps you could send me details tonight.
Mike

Thanks Mike - your first to reply - I'll PM you the chaps phone number. It was lost in the late summer I believe.

Cheers
Neil

I may also be available

you will find it with that f75 nobby mate  ;)

Yo Nobby,

Just spoke to the guy and were meeting by the Llandow circuit junction at 10am on Wednesday morning,
If anybody else can make it?  Save the chap getting lots of phone calls.
Cheers
Mike

Well done Mike / Nobby

I knew DW would come to the rescue.

I think we all hope this one is found. Good luck any who try. ;)

Val

I'm not 100% sure as yet , but might be available to lend a hand, I'll know for
definite tomorrow.

Mike i'll go down with you, I'll ring you later

OK Joel.

hi mike,put me down has well,just let me know what time you are meeting there,some one has to keep an eye on nobby  ;D,viv

sorry mike just noted the time.viv

Not a problem Viv.
I'll try to post a map of the meeting point some time this evening, so as to make it clear for anybody who want t help.
Mike

Here you go guys/gals

Me and Faye will come to help too.

Good luck!

Hope the weather is kind to you!

good luck every one  ;)

good luck on the ralley everyone..lol.. ;D

As Ray is saying, starting to look a little silly guys....think 4 people is more than adequate to look for one ring in a given area.

Good luck guys, hope you find the ring. It's a shame I'm away for a few days as I only live down the road from the circuit, literally half a mile away  :-\ .

Hi Nobby,

We had 12 peeps on Port Eynon and we were still unable to find any trace of the lost ring. From past experience things
are rarely where your told they are, so the more the merrier and it'll mean were able to cover a wider area more effectively.
This is not a rally, if the ring is found the day ends there. Its some people with spare time being prepared to help out a member of the general public,which
in turn will demonstrate our hobby in a more accurate way that is sometimes portrayed in the press.

Mike

Not dampen anyones spirit Mike , im thinking of the farmer/landowner......whats his opinion going to be when a hoard of detectorists decend on his land ???

Understand perfectly Nobby, not a problem mate.
I know a few of the Swansea members are making a day of it by going to one of our club
sites close by after the search, but if the farmer will only allow a certain number, those people will probably just go straight to the club site.
See you all 10am tomorrow guys/gals.

Mike

Are non club members invited to this club site venue aftet ::) ;D

You've not even met me yet and your trying to get me lynched!!
Normally takes a few minutes in my company before people to come to that conclusion.

Ahhh thats where your wrong ive met you once at a rally in sommerset  ;D ...it was about a year and half ago and it was for five minutes but it still counts lol  ;D

Nailsea.......I was going to say the one that I couldn't get my car started but that wouldn't really narrow it down ;D

we won't come along if you only want four, no probs , will head over to club farm.
Good luck everyone, hope you find it:)

LOL Geoff ;D
Thats the one (how the hell did you know ???) Romans and rolexs rally and was infact 2  years (doesnt time fly!!!......)

Jassy we ll all turn up mate and see what the farmer suggests ;)

It was your pink lead, once seen never forgotten ;D

I do remember the event. Your car wouldn't start and I had to tow you onto the road off the mud. Was that two years ago?
I found my first hammered that day, along with a lovely intaglio and a medieval pewter ring.

No No No, there was no towing......but you did give me a jump start after I walked to the garage to buy some jump leads. Your hammy was a Lizzy wasn't it?

So who is going to look for the ring tomorrow ? I'm available if needed

Excelent memory Geoff re. Lizzy.
 Yep I remember you walking to garage for leads and if memory serves me correctly, they were pretty good quality lead for a garage shop.

Far as I can make out, there's currently five asked to come along.
Beachboy(Viv) was coming, but had to withdraw due to the time it was taking place.

Myself
Nobby
Joel
Jan
Faye

Ok  Mike I'll meet you all at the junction, If the farmers not to happy about us all being there,
It's no problem ,

If hes not to happy we ll put his lights out ;D

im available to if you need me..!!..i dont mind going straight over to the club land if im aloud please..willing to return the favour some day if your near a farm of mine..

Me too lol

Sorry but it's strictly Swansea club members only.

I got lost lol ;D

Nobby, Nobby, Nobby... I put  a map there mun!

Afraid the search was again, unsuccessful. The field where the gentleman parked his car had been ploughed and with all the rain was very 'sticky'.
We covered the area quite effectively but to no avail. We then went to the field where he was playing in a gig and had unloaded all his gear but again conditions
were far from idea, with quite long grass and lots and lots of contaminants in the ground, which saw my machine blanking out a lot of the time.

A big thanks to all those who turned up to try to help, (including those who tried) ;D ;D.
Well done all.

Mike

Never mind the ring.....I couldnt find the carpark :D

Cracking day non the less for me ;D (when I finally did find the racing circuit)
Bought a coffee and parked up watching an mg and escort mkii race around the track ..... got some good video footage then went to Barry bikegear to drool over the leather ;D

Although we didn't find the ring it was an enjoyable hunt anyway, great to meet all who turned up
and finally put faces to the names. I tried looking for you Nobby but I think I must have dicriminated you out with the iron  ;D ;D

hi nobby buddy i was parked outside the cafe from about 8.35 it looked more like a austin healey  it was a white one.viv

I beleive it was an Austen..... always wanted a frogeye sprite.....made do with a triumph spitfire

i like the frog eye austin healey sprites too.

Always loved the Healeys, back in the mid seventies I bought a Healey 3000 for £1200, a real eye turner, wish I had it now, also bought a Jaguar Xk150 (in poor condition) oh for the days when british car makers could show the rest of the world how to build quality cars, 

oh the good old days .cortinas ,escorts,zephyrs and zodiacs :)
 buy a car fo £40 get drunk, put it through a hedge takin your bird home then buy another on and repeat lol

Let me know when you write your autobiography Mike, Deffo wanna buy that one.....  ;) :D

It was my bloody hedge, as well  ;D ;D

And my bird  ;D ;D
