[carling2]

tis true,,i know that a local guy has also been doing the madley area for years,,,wigmore is a bit of a downer to as a team of lads from knighton has been thrashing that area for years.

like geoff said pendoylan area ,when i worked for BOSCH in llantrisant about a mile or so from pendoylan ,there are restricted areas inside the bosch grounds and still the remains of an old motte and bailey ,attatched is a picture of the surrounding farms and a picture of the motte and bailey

but i would go to a rally wherever you can get one taff , i know how hard you work to find them cheers mate

[Val Beechey]

Rob, I know it's probably a remote possibility but IF S/West Wales were considered I could put you onto a couple of Farms where I know the owners are very open minded about metal detecting.
One, in particular, is quite large and he and his brother have recently bought another Farm close to Carew Castle.

Just a thought but I realise most would not want to travel that sort of distance any more than I do to the Rallies over the bridge.

[galoshers]

he knows a farmer and gets invited down for  a dig and never go s home without some finds

he drives from London too so 3 hours drive so must be worth his while .

i'll tell him to be carefull then

[carling2]

I would keep that quiet if I were you seem as Herefordshire council has banned tectin in that area

[carling2]

your mate must be a nutter  ,, detectin in the wide open spaces of the home counties or spend time looking over your shoulder on somewhere when you could lose your tecter and liberty,,,,mmm  choices choices

I'm assuming you say this in jest as social network/forum evidence is as damning as any other kind of evidence. And that statement does nothing other than to show this hobby in a terrible light.

[handyman [Alan}]

Well said Rob .... besides if galoshers knows of this illegal activity and does nothing about it, then its very clear he is condoning such activity and i seriously wonder whether he should be allowed to continue on this forum.

[galoshers]

i didnt know it was banned there ,and what he does is none of my business .

[probono]

I'd love some more rallies in South Wales, even though I know they are likely to be quieter.

Just over the bridge into Saesneg territory is good too - it's not that far really.

And like some of the others, the Brecon area (there's a new fort mentioned in Current Archaeology, found because of a cluster of Claudian coin finds) - and also between Brecon and Crickhowell, plenty of roman and medieval stuff there.

My back garden would be good, that'll soon get rid of the weeds
