DetectingWales.com Rally - Caerleon Saturday 14th March 2009

[proconsul]

THE CAERLEON RALLY IS NOW FULL
We are proud to announce that the second DetectingWales.com rally will be held at Caerleon in Monmouthshire. Caerleon was founded by the Second Augustan Legion and was the site of one of Britain's three permanent Roman Legionary Fortresses. Some people believe it to be the location of King Arthur's Camelot, being the headquarters of the Roman commander fighting the incursions of the Angles and Saxons upon whom the stories of King Arthur were based. In 830 AD Nennius listed Cair Lion as one of Britain's 33 cities.

The rally will be held on a farm just outside the town. It should be a mix of stubble and pasture fields. We will know exactly which fields will be available to us nearer the date of the rally. We have been informed that there has been very little detecting on the farm in the past. Whilst chatting to the farmer's wife she told us: "we had a couple of metal detector people here years ago. They found some of those little Roman sixpences". Needless to say Neil, Rob and myself all had the same word flash through our minds when she said that - 'denarii"... Of course we can't guarantee pocketfuls of Roman finds but the farm does look promising to us.

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 recommend that everyone has civil liability insurance. If you are a member of a club you will probably already have this. Please check.

If you wish to come please sign up on the signup page here:

The location of the rally will be sent by private message to everyone who has signed up the day before the rally. Tickets are £5 per person, pay on the day.

Thanks to Tafflaff (Rob) for finding the farm for us. We appreciate it.

[ancientpat]

I would like to add my thanks to the guys organising the rally too, I notice rallies around the country are becoming less and less probably because of all the various restrictions being imposed on farmers today.

                                             Pat.

[DIG IT! (ADIE)]

Yes well done guys!

[Charles Cater]

Pat,
In my opinion it's all to do with  [1] Sites being played out and [2]Organisers getting greedier.
They are now dependant on getting those from abroad by the planeload. Not this one I might add.

[zorro]

i'd like to add my thanks for the hard work put in by the organizers of this rally. a thankless job sometimes but im sure that your efforts are appreciated by all on this site, those going to the rally and those that can't make it.
thanks also for making this site as friendly and good spirited as it is.

[Kev]
