Title: Curse of the Hoover!
Post by: Neil on February 22, 2009, 03:54:25 PM
Following three weeks of detecting and FIVE William III silver coins, Detectingwales member, The Hoover officially believes himself to be cursed. He was quoted today as saying: "No matter what I do I just keep finding William silver, its got to the point where I just throw some of them away now, as its upsetting BorderFox so much! I can't sleep at night, and I'm barely eating, I feel like I'm cursed!" 

Close friend and confidant Mr John Pugh, aka BorderFox (who has coincidentally found no Williams coins at all during the same period) was today found wandering dazed and confused in the fields of Sully, uttering the words: "Maybe I should buy a Fisher or at least learn how to program my Explorer correctly!"

To try and lift the curse The Hoover this morning joined members of the SCAN Club for a rally, where as a rule very little silver is found, as we tend to concentrate on shot gun caps and tubes. Bucking the trend The Hoover weighed in with a hamster, but at least no Williams! Maybe the curse is lifted!

Congratulations to The Hoover on a great few weeks!

John you probably need to go a bit slower and try gridding your areas!

Cheers gents
Neil
