While waiting for my fish supper from Blue Chip takeaways (highly recommended) I spent 15 minutes detecting in and around the playground where the NorWest AFC have their clubroom's. A very small park with one slide, a climby thingy, a seesaw and two swings. It is a barked surface so it was easy to scrape down a few inches. I used the Garrett Ace 150 and did not dig any target that showed over 4" deep due to lack of time. I retrieved three nails, three bottle tops, a square headed screw, a $1 coin, a 10 cent coin. There were lots of other target signals so I will return with my updated detector when I have a bit more time. The park backs onto a cricket ground surrounded partly by large crescent of old trees I couldn't resist a quick swing. I only dug two holes which produced a 2 and a 5 cent coin in the old decimal money, then the chippie called. Another place which I will reinvestigate in the future.
I'm off to listen to the start of the 2nd test South Africa. Let's hope we fare better than in the first. We didn't :(
I'm Glen. Metal detecting has always fascinated me and with the offer of a loan of a Garrett 150 I started what I hope will be a enjoyable new Hobby. I first detected in the early 70's with my Uncle John in Sussex, England and I dedicate this blog to his memory. We visited Saxon sites but we found nothing of interest but had fun. Now forty odd years later it seems my Uncle's sense of adventure has stayed with me and I'm really looking forward to getting out there amongst the treasure
