Title: Lockdown Post by: carling2 on January 22, 2021, 08:49:11 PM Well it's being quiet again on here of late( not surprising really) what with lockdowns and a ncmd ban on detecting and personally for me I'm starting to get itchy feet😁 I have loads of permissions and loads of fields in perms that I have yet to even tread on and yesterday travelling along a known roman road and seeing 1 of my perms in stubble made me reaffirm that even though I'm dying to go tecting staying at home is the right thing to do( I really don't want to be on lockdown June July or Aug when as most know that's the optimum time of the detecting calendar so for now I will bite the bullet and keep my fingers crossed for the summer months. Stay safe everyone.
Title: Re: Lockdown Post by: probono on January 24, 2021, 11:56:44 PM I'd like to get out on a rally or something - even to my usual permission - just to get out of the city!
But I am at least walking to my closest parks and getting some exercise (allowed under Welsh rules). Five silvers so far (well half silvers) - and plenty of George V and VI pennies and half pennies - plus enough change to get my kids a takeaway every other week or so :) One day I hope to find a ring - but haven't yet (apart from ones I have gone to find for people who have lost them). Also thought about doing a video of British coin signals on the Nox - certainly have tested a lot of things in the garden (before the snow). At least I don't get to drive past too many fields on my way to work to get too many withdrawal symptoms.

Since the covid beast broak through our borders I have been shielding, along with my disabled wife but have been getting out for a walk each day.
To date, I have recovered a couple of quid and four separate bank cards, pluss one full wallet! Oh, and one quality mobile phone. Title: Re: Lockdown Post by: carling2 on January 27, 2021, 10:23:50 PM Yep cleaned my kit, Brought new tectin summer clobber, done the research on land I have permission for( happy to say its untected and there are several fields where I can see hammereds at least coming out of) but haven't walked in yet so now I'm either waiting for a lift of the ncmd ban( subject to gov advice) or end to a lockdown whatever comes 1st really. 5 hammereds so far and 2 silver spoons odly enough for this year (1 dated mid 1700s).i do have land that of course I can walk to and very good land it is but a lockdown is what it is and until a change in a law comes in staying in is the best policy,, because really if we go by past lockdowns and say this 1 is lifted in march, it means another will maybe start in may/June,,, that's 1 part of the calendar I'm sure most of us want to be out,,, let's not f? =k. This one up.
