Neil - Deputy Administrator - Live and work in Cardiff. Age 37.

Only been detecting for about 2 and a half years so far. I have always had an interest in antiquities and history though.

Far too many other hobbies to list them all, but they include following Cardiff City, Squash, Gym, Fine Wine, Good Books, Films, Travel, Diving, Snowboarding, Mountain Walking, Gardening, Music, etc, etc,

Great idea to put faces to the names.

Cheers
Neil

Currently using the Explorer II plus S.E.F 15 X12 Coil to very good effect.

My other main hobby was/is Ham Radio and i hold the callsigns
MW5VZW/GW6VZW.Although currently not active.

I was in Nursing Proffesion for over 30 years and Engineering before that.

I am Health and Safety Trained and did retire last year but because of poor

Have managed to recover from a blood clot on the lung and will be going in shortly
