Well the Hallmarks tell me this Silver was made in London. is Sterling .925 by De La Rue Ltd in 1919. Found in the North Somerset Lowlands and dates to the same time as the Compact Tin I found and the SIxpence and Farthing of George V I found dated 1920 and 1921 about a Metre apart. A moment in time you might say.

Well done to everyone - some lovely finds came up. A cracking axe head as well - I believe that makes 4 Bronze Age tools found on DW rallies to date!

Nice finds Paul - lovely to find silver artefacts.

Gutted I couldn't be there - on my way home soon.

Over and out

Your DW representative in Asia

Did you get us any rally sites while you were there Neil. 

[Neil]

There would be a potentially an outstanding DW Rally in Angkor Wat (where Tomb Raider was filmed) in Cambodia, but I get the feeling it would be severely frowned upon and we would probably all go missing if we detected there!

I did manage to do some eyes only beach/snorkle detecting in Bali and found some Chinese silver coins (they smell right with silver foil) - photos to follow.

Thanks for a great weekend to everyone !!!

[zorro]

well i was planning on going to the weekend wanderers rally in September but if DW are going to have a 2 dayer same time i know where i'd rather go.......( i might get the chance to try Benny's home brew this time  )

[Legacy Hunter]

maybe if DW are holding a 2 dayer maybe they should hold it on a different weekend than the weekend wanderers rally just a thought

Is there a DW rally planned for Sepember ??

RARE are Running  a bus trip to WWW rally at West Hanney 11-12 September
We went last Year and had a great time. (The rally where Eileen was found, the Saxon Princess)
Not many Rallys you can get a 99 with chocolate bits or a traler full on Ices water in the middle of nowhere  lol

If anyones interested in coming with us im sure we can find a few spare seats

all the best
Phil

[Chef Geoff]

And MLO are having their Corfe rally on the weekend of the 16-19th September.

[PHIL YNYSBOETH]

Ive never been to the MLO,s Corfe castle rally   i wonder if any RARE members would like a coach trip there

It wouldnt be problem having two in one  month as long as theres interest
We have had 3 in just over a month, in the past

[Chef Geoff]

The problem is Phil it's not an open rally, it's only open to Platinum members of MLO

[PHIL YNYSBOETH]

Im a forum member of MLOTV and Minelab owners but never felt the need to give Garry Brun any money lol

They always have a good write up on the forum,
