Thank You for your greeting.
Since getting "Dora" repaired I've not had much chance to get out. The only time I did was on the 7th and then only for a couple of hours but did have a good time. Went to one of my favourite fields which I've recovered Roman on before but of late seems to have dried up. Anyway found a couple of Roman coins, a denarius and a large copper/bronze alloy barely able to see what head it has, hopefully our PAS rep will be able to I.D. it for me. I live in the Lake District UK and don't have the same amount of history as those in the South so was very pleased with the coins.
Family with me at the present so not been able to get out this week, hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to go to my voluntary work, I'm currently detecting over the deralict gardens st Lowther Castle, nr, Penrith, the home of the Yellow Earl, The Earl of Lonsdale, so who knows what my lay hidden in the gardens.
The Castle has been deralict for approx the last 70 years and the gardens, which cover 130 acres, were planted with forestry.
After taking part in an archealogical dig at the Roman Fort at Tebay one of the land owners put my name forward to assist with the searching of the gardens for the old plant name tags. One days searching recovered over twenty labels from a very small area. That was the easy bit it's the drawing of a plan and putting on the locations that take the time.
I did ask the people in charge if I could invite at least one other to help but was given the thumbs down, perhaps in the future when they see us detectoristts can be trusted then I may be able to invite others (hopefully)
Anyway thats my update for now. Not being to great on the techi stuff with computers I don't now if I can put any images on the posts but will try.
Regards to all
Rod
