I was invited to display a selection of my finds again this year at the Pontypridd Museum for the British Archaeology weekends.

I haven't got so much space this year , Another large Paintings and pics display going on, , and only one display case this year for my finds at the museum, 3 last year, and 3 big pic boards, still, My coins displays are on an open table lol, someone is sitting guard over them lol,

there were a few interested people looking in at it yesterday, some were going to tell others they knew about it, i heard one one bloke say he'll have better look next saterday as they will proberbly be more stuff there then ,
we then do a field survey on the Saterday afternoons and detector demonstration on the Pontypridd Common

 I only had one display case Phil , 3 last year, i had to pack a few more things into this one,  they don't like to over crowd things though,
 i couldn't get a good angle from overhead to get a good shot of the other table,

It;ll be there all week Phil and maybe into next week by the time i go and pick it up. they'll need it there for Saterday anyhow,,   i know  some of the pubic were hoping for more to go in by then,

Write a peice for the webpage  lol,  i'll see how it goes Phil lol..
 Thanks Al,  hope yours is going ok mate,

Hi Alan

Ive got to  go Pontypridd on Business Wednesday so i,ll call in and have a look,
Its always nice to see all the things you,ll probablly never get to find  lol

Phil

O.K. thanks Phil  i may be calling in about 11 ish  if i have time,,  i'm going to nip in this morning with instructions on how to see it on youtube,
 then the X4 to Merther for a few things,

 the cycling park with the kids in the morning at 10, in Barry sidings,

 sorry i didn't have room to put your pic and others up this year Phil, i was hoping too,  unless they have found another  free board in the meantime, most are full up with paintings ect,

One of the people who were being told about it should join us tonight or tomorrow,  i
 met him at the Museum this morning,

 HI Phil Thanks,  arr sorry i missed you there, like last year, only just missed you, i was back from Merther at 1,30, had half hour till the bus, i could have gone over then,

I'll be setting up the detecting lines ready,  if any little uns turn up, i'll be planting replica roman and celtic coins for them to find on the outskirts, ,  he'll like that Phil,

i'll proberbly be at the museum from about 10.30 to 11 after i've picked Graham up, there are usually some people that call in and are gratefull for a chat about my finds,
 i'll give him 10 p to play the large train set upstaires of ponty station and surrounds, lol
