Help and hello to you all

[Val Beechey]

Isn't there anyone in the NWDD who lives somewhere around there ??  If Danny could get thumbs up from one of his Farmer friends he could take a volunteer with him for a demo.

Just a thought

To be honest I am kinda hoping to ask if anyone wants to come with me when I get a detector to show me the ropes.  It should work well as you will get the chance to try some new grounds?

I just remembered that when Hubby and I were looking around for property we went to look at a place up your way (roughly) and we were quite keen. Unfortunately we got lost and ended up at the end of a Farmers track-way. He came down to see what we were about and I told him where we were looking for and that's when we deceided we didn't want to live up there if they were all like him.
From what you said about the Guy on the Prom and the lack of response from the NWDD members I think we made a sensible decision.
I would have thought someone up that end would have been only too happy to spare you a couple of hours and detect on some new land at the same time.
Anyway best of luck to you and baycityroller in you choice of detector and new venture. It will be like the blind leading the blind. Could be good fun.

Danny look out for a N. W. D. D meeting it will probably be in a couple of weeks. Come along and have a chat , I'm sure you will be welcome.  Do I sense a North South divide with some of you?

He posted his enquiry a day and a half ago and we're getting a hard time from some people because we have'nt responded yet?  Priceless!

However I'm not going to bite.

As Dungbeetle has said Keep an eye on the NWDD forum for info about a meeting and you are more than welcome to come along. Alternatively you can pm me for some info if you like.

Agree with Hotmill here guys, I've chatted a lot with the North Wales guys and they are a very friendly and appreciative bunch. Give them a chance to respond. Some people do have lives outside Detecting Wales you know

Thank you guys n gals.  Fortunately the welsh are a good ol bunch of people, just like the bunch I left from where I'm from in Devon.  Unfortunately just like everywhere on this wee little globe we call home, earth, there are the odd idiot that tarnish the rest of us nice people, I.e. the guy on the beach.  And to be honest, judging by the way EVERYONE on here has treat me, he really is just a one off idiot, know it all. 

Do they not realise everyone has to learn somewhere.

Thank you all again.

I am from South Wales and once dated someone from Anglesey (Ynys Mon), North Wales. I visited there on several occasions and was always treated with great hospitality. It never mattered at all that I was from the South.

Danny here from old colwyn in north wales.

I had an accident a few years ago and subsequently lost my job, well now I'm doing OU physics and chemistry.  My shoulder is now getting back to normal almost but my physio suggested a new hobby so thought about metal detecting.

I have saved myself a little budget of £400-£600 for a detector.  Any advice on a good one please? I have read around at different sites and reviews but everyone seems to have such different ideas.  I was looking at a Fischer goldbug dp but not sure now as some say its rubbish but others rave about it.

I ask on here as its real people to chat to and not just reviews.

Also anyone from around here?

Cheers,

Danny.

Hi Danny, I am new to the hobby and I found a Pinpointer as well as a detector an essetial item, I got a Garrett Ace 250 and a Garrett Pro Pinpointer both excellent beginner machines, if you are budgeting I would keep £90 to one side for a pinpointer as they save you hell of a lot of time.

You will need to get liability  insurance from NCMD   http://www.ncmd.co.uk/liability%20insurance.htm and a crowns fore shore permit http://www.thecrownestate.co.uk/coastal/metal-detecting/.   . The NCMD IS ABOUT £8.00 a year. You will need there membership to go on detecting rallies plus it includes liability insurance. The crowns foreshore permit is free and allows you to detect on beaches owned by the crown estate.

If you  get Ncmd membership and can get some land to detect on I will be more then happy to come down at let you try my detector and you can keep what you find lol.
