How did the day go? I know RARE were taking a coach and a few Cardiff Scan members went as well.

it was yesterday was it pete..i thought it was today..

total waste of time and money 300+ people there very few finds we had 2 hammies on our bus of 38 , the place was dead  very very poor area been done to death i think

agree with Mike. Either nothing was ever there or it's been to death by other clubs. There wasn't even that much lead being produced.

ye agree as well it was totally dead .... a little birdy told me at the rally yesterday that there was a rally held on this same farm around three years ago which would explain the total lack of finds  :(

i know it was a charity event and lots off money was raised but it was stated that the land had notbeen detected before ,

bit of a con if you ask me , i wont be going next year thats for sure

I went too found LOTS.......... well medi tubes >:( lol well my best find was a £1 coin and a musket ball.!!!

It was a total waste of time and money ,might as well of just sent them the money and stayed at home,I know it was for a good cause but in my mind it was receiving money under false pretences. NEVER AGAIN.

I've got to ask Welshbreed, why have you got a picture of Neil Jones as your avatar?

I went to a Wootton Bassett rally about 2 years ago with RARE and it was the same.

The girl on the hotdog van said she'd been there before  (I think she was referring to the place)  ;D

Who was the organiser?

not very many finds at this rally unfortunately...... :-\.......after the hype that the site was "undetected" it was disappointing....but it was a day out with a coach-load of like minded friends..... ;D......byron

I managed a few bits and bobs but I was restricting myself to the fields next to the road and the farm. I notice everyone pretty much legged it for the stubble field beyond the pasture but I hung back and did slow careful sweeps.

I got a Nuremburg Jetton in pretty good nick, a roman grot and what I think is a Henry V111 copper groat, but I stand to be corrected on the last one, and a huge bronze pot-leg.

Never been there before but there were a few grumbles about the fact that this was not undetected land. I didnt expect much because I couldnt research the site with the info we were given. I am happy with my finds but there were very few finds displayed in the finds cabinet next to the FLO tables.

Anyway, heres a few photos.
