IS THERE A PROBLEM..?????????

[celticspikey]

I think the issue is that a lot more people communicate via social media now rather than the 'traditional' message boards or forums. All the forums I used to be active on are shells of their former selves regardless as to whether they are detecting, football, film or antique related. They are all quiet. Also apart from work most people have shunned away from desktop computers to hand held devices and perhaps we (DW) don't help ourselves by having to resize images. It takes time where as Instagram/Facebook can take the image immediately without resizing and upload in seconds.

Personally with an ankle biter running round and work being more demanding I just don't get out to do any detecting at the moment. Hopefully that will get easier in the new year. I still have the passion for it just not the time at the moment.

On the rally front we are working on a few - more news to follow.

Totally understand Neil it's a busy life with a little one pottering around. Glad to hear you still have the passion mate keep it up, look farward to some rallys aswell. I missed the last few unfortunately but will make an effort to attend next ones. Thanks for your comments... Spikey.

Hi Folks
Me and Ron post our finds after every outing!  don't use Facebook so any posts are always with DW, it's the best site for displaying finds, gleaning info and everything else that makes this forum useful.  I'm away for two weeks so will not post anything until probably the last week of October.  If I find anything next time out that is!!!
Good luck to everyone who makes the effort to get out and search over the next couple of weeks!!
Cheers and Happy Digging!!  Tom.

Many thanks Tom & Ron for all your inputs,and if your going away on holiday..have a great relaxing break,you two certainly deserve it....👍

I post stuff in all media including here whether a find if a lifetime or not. Sometimes it's just mildly interesting rubbish but it's important for newcomers to understand that everyone finds mostly junk with good bits thrown in as a bonus or they may get disillusioned, feel intimidated and not get involved. A personal find of the week may seem unworthy of attention to some but to them it's treasure! Dingdong you are excellent at giving people encouraging words of congratulations so please keep it up 👍

Been busy at work and every time I was planning to go out on my days off it bloody rained!
Plus most of my permissions still have crops on them or grass or cows grazing on them which I don't like to be near by,I'm scared of cows.
Today I've found a George V sixpence 1922,few pennies of the same vintage,lots of junk,cow tubes etc.

Great Jetton find Andre,well detected and well saved..good condition too.
Also,many,many thanks for posting,every one likes to see what everyone else is Detecting
Let's all continue to fly the flag....as you have done..good on ya !!!...good hunting..👍

I am posting more things to FB - but only to a closed group there.

I'm still pretty active on the other forum I am on, but that's possibly because I am a moderator there.

I think that (for understandable reasons) the quietness on the rally front has certainly added to the quietness of the site at the moment.

I've attached the last hammered I found - at the end of September.

[marknewbury1]

Nice one it's nice to see the finds 👍

[nobby]

Rolland is spot on.

                 Not been out for a while now but have been dropping in here on a regular basis, just to see what you guys and gals are up to. Finished up in A&E the other week after slicing open the thumb on my left hand and only last week got me a ride in a big NHS Taxi when it looked like my internal clock was, perhaps, packing up. Sent me home this week with a big bag of NHS Dolly Mixtures.

                 Hanging up the EuroAce and extra coils for good and Kevin at Staffs Metal Detectors has made me an offer for them, but I will be hanging onto the Safari until I can see how things will work out health wise.

                 No new finds to post but if I dig into my scrap on hold, I'm sure there may be something I can photograph and post; if only to encourage some of our new members.

                  Stay safe, stay well, and happy hunting
