The Sun Has Got His Hat On

What a glorious day it is up here. Not a cloud in the sky, everyone smiling and happy and the ladies attire, well brimg it on.

No kids this weekend so its off for a pint outside of course. Got to make the most of it.

Whats everyone else up to?

 

Just watching late night football.

Have a nice day.

 

Just got back. Took the dog with me to see some fields I've permission to metal detect on. Been ploughed and rolled but still a bit lumpy, could do with a few days of rain to flatten them out a bit. Will probably go tomorrow though. Packed lunch, sunshine and digging up crap: can't beat it. Found a WWII .303 bullet case "eyes only" when walking across the field - we detectorists have superhuman visual powers.

What's your hobby, looking for witchetty grubs down by the billabong?

 

I live 20 minutes from a billabong called the Pacific Ocean. The missus and I tend to spend most days down there.

I don't like beach metal detecting, all you find is modern small change while people stand around staring.

 

Today I shall be mostly doing a little bit of work, smoking, keeping an eye on the fitba, arsing around on here, opening the vino at 4pm

 

Ya ****in geek.

 

Leave the poor ****in' geek alone ya' ****.

 

Yes I'm a geek. Can't think of anything more dull than sitting on a beach all day though.

 

I don't sit there all day though, I sometimes get up and walk around a bit. Sometimes I actually lie down.

 

What's your biggest/best find?

 

That he can get his shoes on the right feet.

 

I did a combined cricket and metal detecting thread, it's got photos of some of my best finds:

I've also had a silver denarius of Antonius Pius, lots of medieval silver coins, a large Tudor buckle, an unusually large crotal bell and a silver and gilt Tudor clothes hook which is now in Epping Forest Museum.

 

Combined cricket AND metal detecting?

Get the **** aff ma forum

 

Too cool for you mate.

 

I design and write software for a living and am a speccy **** and am still way more cool than a cricket loving metal detecting anorak wearer. Perhaps we should team up against the train spotters. I loathe those guys.

 

I've commented on your cricket article.

 

So shall I.

PS. I lied earlier in this thread. I've opened the vino already.
