Ok , not a member but Bill Wyman kindly agreed to answer a couple of questions for Detecting Wales.com. I would like to thank Bill for taking some time out to do this.




Name - Bill Wyman
Age - 73
Status - Music God
Detectors used - C-Scope



Tafflaff Rob - Bill thanks for taking part in this interview , I'd like to begin by asking,
                   how and when you got into this amazing hobby of Metal Detecting?


Bill Wyman -  In 1991 when workmen unearthed a 15th century pot in my gardens


  Tafflaff Rob -I know many detectorists have experienced being stereotyped as geeks by their families, peers and workmates. Have you ever had this problem, and how did you counter it?


Bill Wyman -  Yes it has happened – I reply to it by telling them some of my amazing finds
 

Tafflaff Rob -  How much importance do you place on the Portable Antiquities Scheme and do you feel its used.   by enough detectorists on a regular basis?


Bill Wyman -  Very important & I support it fully – as do a high percentage of detectorists (the honest ones)


Tafflaff Rob -  A bit predictable I know but it must be asked, What are your favourite finds to date, and whats number one on your finds wishlist ?


Bill Wyman: Bronze-age items – Iron-age pottery & coins – 2 Roman Sites & 300 coins & 20 brooches – Medieval finds including gold half-noble from 1361.



Tafflaff Rob - Thanks again, hopefully we may see you as a forum member one day on Detecting Wales.com

Hi Rob,
           Did you have to pull a few strings to get that interview.One question you could have asked was did you turn over a few stones to get at some of your finds.I think you should have asked him to attend one of our rallies but would we have enough ground for the amount of detectorists who would turn up. Well Done.

Well done Rob! I remember us talking about this way back in the early days of DW. Congratulations on getting it done mate!

It must have been a great feeling of Satisfaction mate although some felt you were Playing With Fire and I bet Wild Horses couldn't stop you from posting it as quick as Jumpin Jack Flash!

well done dw is going up in the world  8)

Nice one Rob, maybe you can get Cheryl Cole to give an interview and some hot pics next.  ;D

Just kidding,

It's all good for DW in the long run, top marks matey.

....No juicy questions asked?


Or is that part 2 of the interview?  ;D  (PS It's scandal us self respecting DW members want)

Whose Bill Wyman Rob ? Just joshing Nice little coo Rob. Did you ask him what hair colour he used  :D :D :D

i would have asked him this question .
are you able to come to a rally that we run if it was nearer your home ?
followed up with you could even help us find some to detect if you want

Very good Taff. Always good to have a flagbearer for the hobby. We have Bill Wyman...Polo has Jordan....poor Polo
