Title: 060612 - Apres Moi la deluge :)
Post by: handyman [Alan} on June 06, 2012, 12:53:38 PM
Anyway, for the first time in ages, i managed to get out onto the field alone, without having to stop every couple of mintues to see what diggerdave or techony had recovered  ;D ;D ;D ;D

The morning session went reasonably well, until in the distance, the skies darkened, the lightning lit up the sky, the thunder boomed and i got the impression it was time to leg it off the field. Lo and behold, i reached the safety of the car literally seconds before the deluge hit the field. 15 minutes later it had passed, and i was able to climb out of the detecting gear, before heading homewards.

as for the finds .... well yet again i got a muskie, along with a nice pinhead and a wotsit, about 1cm in diameter, plain on the reverse .... which i think could either be a coin weight or part of a fob seal.

all suggestions welcome.

cheers

OK now why did you come home if it had passed?..................lightweight! lol
As I'm sure you know by now its a coin weight for a "ecu au soleil" and a lovely find, now go and find the gold coin that goes with it before that pesky techony gets back ;D

rofl  ;D  -- re the deluge ... if u could have seen what i could see what was coming  along in my direction, i'm fairly certain that you too would have said " thats it for the day"  ;D ;D ;D

For those who ever doubt that our Masterchef is ever wrong, go to number 375 on the link below.

Nice finds Al for a short 'rain dodge'.  ;D
You did better than me. The rain caught me before I could get back to the car. Phew.!! 2 smelly wet dogs and me dripping all over the seats  --  Great.
Looking at your link made me have another look at my 'weight' , good site that.
