Ok guys , I have permission for Stubble land later in the year for a farm in Ipswich.  Its an awful long way to travel but the area , well .... Whoohoooo.   Probably as good as areas get.

This thread is to see how much interest there would be for the rally.

Too far for me sorry

yes i would go , possibly stay overnite , camp b&b

Yes count me in, Suffolk is detecting Nirvana

You are talking detecting heaven Roberto. One rally I would sell the house to go to. Maybe a weekender 2 dayer R. Oh yes  ;D ;D ;D

Count me in guys

Sounds Excellent.. Quick check made re. Distance.
Neath to Ipswich 273miles. 4hrs 37 mins..
Interested if a 2 dayer..

if 2 days yes we.. b there...gijan x rollingstone... ;D

What month are you thinking of and I think it would have to be either Friday to sunday or sat & sunday.

If its more in the warmer season we would be up for it , as we would camp it :)

and i know ladyluck and razor would be up for it to as not to far from them :)

If it was a weekender,I'd be up for it ;)

 ;D ;D ;D,,,,count me in...even if it was one day

Evidentially this is an area most of us could only ever dream to walk our passion on. I would certainly like to get that opertunity. A 2 day rally its  290 miles from me. Always wanted to go to Ipswich for personal reasons.

Hope it will be supported.
Perhaps those who do not realise but land in this area is by far and away some of the most traded areas in the uk.
Roman, celtic, saxon, viking!! and our lovely medieval times.

Well done Rob

Count me in, would be good for a 2 dayer.

yep, we're half way there ...good planning rob! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

ipswich sounds great......2 dayer please....when???? :) :)

count me in. overnight would be good

Bus trip ?

Yep!

Good call,Zeus. If a bus was laid on I wouldn't hesitate to go. It would be a fantastic chance to detect somewhere so rich in history.
  As it is, it's a bit too far for me to drive on my own.

I can see it now A DOUBLE DECKER BUS with NO 1 IPSWICH on the front DETECTING WALES written on both sides under upstairs windows all the metal detector firms advertising on other spaces on the bus.All the old fogies sitting down stairs and singing driver stop the bus I wan't a pee.How funny it would be.Then a single decker behind with all our gear in and after that a potable toilet.
Roll On. :)

my home town so im in i can go see me ol dears  :) im in  , better if it was a 2 dayer tho

I would be interested even if 1 day

must be a 2 dayer then id be coming defo as long as i get another detector by then

I would definately be up for a trip over there depending on timing and availability of course :)

i would def be interested

me and my lass would travel for that , would be good to meet yall from dw  :) Barry

I'd definitely be interested if it was a 2 dayer.  ;D

Too far for a one day event.

Yep.Its a Camping gig for me.

It is a very long drive for 1 day however, we would be on the seats in front of Zeus and Mrs Steptoe on the bus!lol. A 2 dayeer would be a more favourable option.
Rookypair ;D

Ummmm you can count me in  ;) One two or three days ... I will be there  ;)

deffo up for that

a 2 day event would be great

Yes I'm in.

well done taff prime area for tectin ,id be up for 2/3 dayer count silky in  8)

ill go lifes to short to pass on a new place we might never see that part of the country if it  was not for detecting

a weekender would be good as long as its not my weekend to work and knowing my luck it would land on that.hopefully never been detected would be good to  ;) 

Id be very interested even 1dayer ::)

i,d be very interested if it was in the first two weeks of march.         on second thoughts i woud,nt mind end of the year either.

if i can arrange transport i'd love to go  ;) ......byron

Travel over 270 miles and then have to detect on stubble? Na not me.
Pasture or ploughed yes. Stubble no.

241m from Ely, I'd still go thought. Well worth a trip by the sounds of it.

Will think about It.......... thought about It yes, yes and yes

I too would consider this one  ;D

interested in 2dayer, depends when and work !

Be interested got family in lowestoft not to far from ipswich any ideas of the month as im down there in october for a wedding.

need more info  on land

it's beneath your feet  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Always wanted to go detecting on that part of the country, much more human population/activity there in the past, although the issue of stubble should be discussed beforehand. Stubble is sometimes sparse and floppy and you can get your coil close to the ground, i attended a rally before where there was rigid stubble close together about 10 inches high!, Impossible to detect on, i suppose it depends on type of crop and time of the year, trying to sweep your coil through stiff stubble is not much fun and you are losing so much depth.                           

A 3 day or 2 day would be great. Ronniedigs,golden girl and welshguy.

Yep I'm for it, Make it a three day and give everyone a choice,

I'm interested if it's a two dayer, it's an awesome area.
here are some finds from Suffolk as a taster.

Go on then....
Nice on Taff

Good to see a good response to Robs question. Rob works overtime looking for rally land and most of you are wise enough to know the potential of this area far outweighs any distance issues. For many this if it comes off may be the only detecting in what is seen by most as the best area in the UK for detecting and finds of any period. A two day rally makes sense with the distance to travel and Rob will do the best he can to make sure the rally if it comes off will be a trip to remember. Thanks Rob and I hope you get the right result.

At present am too ill to be able to guarantee to go but dependent on exactly when this occurs would love go
Regards PaulB. 8)

transport now sorted.... ;D.....so count me in for def !.........byron

How much land? 2 days with somewhere to put a tent  would be hard to resist!
