Stuart (El Camera Mano) and I were recently commissioned to do a series of short detecting videos which would then be placed on “youtube” by Nigel at Regtons. It involved the use of 17 different detectors, so it was quite obvious from the beginning that the “Garrett Aces” format that we employed previously wouldn’t work. It would […]

Just a few words about what has been happening lately.
I was all set to do the training day last Sunday near Newark when the organiser (Widget) had to go into hospital for a pretty serious operation a couple of weeks beforehand. So for those that have bought online, it should be happening some time in […]

Go on admit it, the headline grabbed you didn’t it? I had better explain that this is the latest of the Fireman Bob episodes and it will all unfold as the story is told.
We revisited the outskirts of our site that we had been working in the past and had a few more bits and […]

Part four. Bob gets into gold and I find a hoard.
It took old Bob the best part of a week to come down to earth after his pocket-full of finds of last time. Blimey, Celtic, Roman and early Medieval silver coins, a smattering of Roman bronzes topped off with the odd one or two medieval artefacts; so would anyone else with a pocketful like that.

The Adventures of Fireman Bob.
Part three, Bob’s big day.
I seem to remember writing that there wouldn’t be such a long gap between the last episode and this one. Well I lied! (Didn’t mean to, but it happens, don’t it?) Anyway without further ado, I had better get on with it.
Well after the last episode old […]

Sorry it’s been a long while in coming, but honestly folks I’ve been up to my neck with other things; I’ve been indulging myself in my other lifelong passion, sailing. Tramping up and down the country looking for the right craft for me; I reckon I clocked up close on 2,000 miles until I eventually […]

This article is about fireman Bob and me doing a bit of detecting in the Forestry Commission woodlands. I’m not too sure whether it will develop into a weekly thing or just a one off, I suppose it could depend on what we find or how lazy I become; anyway at least I’ve made a […]

“Yep, the sheep are grazing the grass low and the farmer has given his permission, there’s also a barn for you to hold the talks.”
So, there was me thinking of getting in a bit of fishing as the season started on the 16th and now it would be put on hold for another week. Oh […]

Well, this would be the final talk for awhile as most of the fields are now under crop; it would also be a welcome break after charging around the country these past weeks. The weather forecast was good (makes a change) and Tim had done an excellent job in organising everything to make the day […]

“Are you still going ahead even though the forecast for the weekend is bad?” “Yep, we don’t let a bit o’ drizzle slow us up none matey, not when there is a bit of detecting to be done.” I had three or four telephone conversations along those lines before the weekend.
I dragged myself out of […]
