hi mole, & viv regarding the safety side of it to be honest i did not mention how dangerous the place can be enought, we laughed about it being stuck at the time, but would have been in serious trouble without company, so yes it ia a dangerous place to detect alone, thanks again for the reminder  both mickycoin mick ;D ;D

Great finds lads ,the severn has always interested me but as you say its so dangerous - I almost dissapeared up to my armpits once and had my wellies sucked off in the goo  and  I've  been reluctant to go back:( can anyone reccommend a relativly safe place to start  ??? maybe I can persuade my mate Falcon to go for a mud bath.I take it its only safe when the tide is going out and how far can can you actually stray from the shore ? wouldn't want to be caught out  :( any advice would be apreciated.. cheers
