So this Sunday will be my second DW rally...and I wanted to ask a question...

What's the etiquette/standard procedure for what to do with something that you dig up that is really heavy? Do you have to trudge back to the car with it, or is it OK to put it at the side of the field until it's time to go home, then take it away with you? I do understand that you can't just leave things on the surface or re-bury them, but do you really have to cart it off to the car immediately?

I dug up a lump hammer in the back garden this morning, and was thinking that would be a right pain if I had to carry something similar around all day at a rally...  ;D

Apologies if that's a dumb question!

If you get some big Iron there is always the butt of a hedge or ditch around the field, I take mine with me till I get to the edge of the field then put in the base of the hedge.

And seeing as we are talking etiquette its worth reminding everyone to fill their holes, oh, and Grass looks better Green side up...    ;)

And don't laugh at Da Monkey and his dog.......well not to his face anyway ;D

Haha very good

i have never seen monkey or his dog what i would like to know is,  how can you tell which is which? lol   soz monkey and dog.

I'll point him out to you on Sunday, but be prepared to run.  :)
Geoff

cannot go sunday, dogs run fast don,t they.lol

ah DW'S  resident dog handler  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

The dog is the small one on the end of the lead.......oh wait! that's not going to help is it ;D ;D

thought you was going to say that the dog was hairy, but some blokes are really hairy, lol.

But surely Chef,that depends at which way you look at it!!

U lot better be nice to me and the dawg, were the ones putting the direction signs up... U may have a longer trip than you'd like at this rate...

you mess up the signs, i not going   lol

I hope the dog's in charge of that bit ;D

Other wise its going to be,ROUGH,!!!ROUGH!!ROUGH!!🐕

I didn't think he had a pointer  ;D
Geoff

Think some of you might be a bit confused. I'm joining forces with Da Monkey. 1 little lady with 1 little hairy dog on a stretchy lead.  Bet some of you will have trouble telling which one is which.  ::)

Word of warning..........He's a Guard Dog. :D :D ;)


(P.S.  I've just seen GIJAN on ITV)  Good footage and advert for hobby.

guard dog does that mean he sits near the fire lol

Thanks Val ;) we'll show 'em, we'll sniff out the goodies

Hey detectingly, you reminded me that me that I found a Lump Hammer a few years back.  I carried it around with me to take home to show Hubby.  It weighed 7lb. 
I couldn't believe the weight of my finds bag when I took it off. I nearly dropped it.  Mind you that was back in the days when I dug EVERY signal. I've got more sense now.

Val

This brings back memories of a certain GJH and a jack russell.  ;D Geoff is still counting his fingers  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

The dog is always In charge of him he pulls all the strings, and the ladies.

Its not dumb at all, if its a big heavy hoard give me a shout and we can put it my car ::) ::) look out for silver( X Trail) that's just the sort of help full bloke I am :-* ;) ;D

I remember that day well, I'm thinking of bringing my dog for protection on Sunday  ;D
