Will do , the Tesoros are a little tetsy on the beaches here , i tend to sick with the Eldorados [ i have 2 , black one and a grey one ] for best results and i hardly use the Whites ,so i thought i would give the Apex a whirl ..!!

Well an update ..found and bought an  unused Apex at a very good price  at a pawn style shop in northern Spain, problem is i cant get to use it ....the club as well as a couple of individuals have submitted digitally for new permits and the applications have been acknowleged  digitally,  so we now wait for the authorities to grind into gear [ albeit VERY slowly ] ...!!!

Right so now a bit of progress , the authorities in Valencia area  have now decided  15th March ]that permits /licences are not going to be issued by the regions as they have decided [ took a while ..!!]that they are no longer to be required ....!!!


 They missed a chance here to make a bit of dosh ...unusual for the Spanish ...!!!


One anomaly has arisen, is  that they are happy with beach hunting [ but not in prohibited areas] but have yet to make a decision about sea hunting ...we wait [ could be awhile ..] to see when this is clarified .

Been awhile since  i last posted , Covid and all that ...!!!!   Firstly the Apex  not good , to slow, now resides in the cupboard with my other refugees and back to the Tesoro.

The assoc i belonged to ceased last year as no one wanted to take on the admin etc and a lot of Brits have gone back to the UK due to residentia problems now the the UK has left the EU and people are restricted to only allowed to be in Europe for 90days per year , so lots sold up and went home ..!!

But just this week the remnants of the am/dram theatre group and the Metal detecting group have reformed and have managed to keep our CIF certificate and our old insurance reinstated and formalised [ which gives members 1million Euro  ins cover and public liability ] so we are still up and running .



Also we have lost around 7miles of beach in the Guadarmar  area as the local mayor decided no more metal detecting on the beaches which is a pain as these were my stamping grounds ...!!

The authorities have given up on the idea of detecting  permits [ probably not enough cash in it for them ] and its now back to the local mayors/ police  to call the shots so we shall have to see how it pans out , finds on the beaches and in the water are very poor at the moment without the tourists , and i do not think in the financial climate at the moment things are going to improve much , with the Spanish side of Ryanair going on strike next week for 6 days and now the baggage handlers and the French airtraffic controllers talking about striking [ AGAIN ], things are not looking that good .

Enough of the moaning ...its a sunny 34 c outside and i have a barbie to go to with some Ukrainian and german friends ..could get lively ...!!
