Detecting in South Africa

People do those logs of what finds where all the time.

I look at them as a waste of time.

Too many, too many places and in the end makes not sence.

Your Idea sounds cool.

At least you have a record of sorts of the locations and what it looked like in the past.

Go back and 5 years and it may not look anything like it did.

Yes I saw his book and it looks great, he has a lot of photos with some text (Mind you he can't spell) and I really am considering to keep some thing like Peter did so that like you said, in the future I can look and see how the site has changed.

People must be amongst the most stupid species on earth, problem is that they think they are clever because they have invented the atomic bomb, lions kills to feed man kills for pleasure just look at what is happening to the rhino is that not living proof of our stupidity?

Pgill......I have the same idea, but I'm doing a coffee table book on hunting the tidal pools of the Cape. Underwater shots, the works. I really need to get a diving suit, my wetsuit is not doing the job......freezing in the water this weekend. Got 2 rings and R92 in change. The one ring is 9ct with a stone......probably a blerry cubic ne?
Here are some pics.....found one spot on a slope at the waters edge (4 square meters......6 max) where I pulled out 37 One rand coins, a silver plated ring and about 20 bucks in 2's and 5's. Bushpig had to go to a braai so we had to can it early.....he got a junk ring (bloody nice one mind you) R74 and some other small costume jewellery.
I pulled another six bucks out of the tidal pool......then my nuts had had enough hahaha! Seriously cold!
The beach was busy and I had a crowd of at least 5 people at any given time.....buzzing me with questions and praising my activities for their sheer entertainment value!
People are so curious, some times I tell them we are counting prawns for a biological census, or we're looking for a murder weapon or checking radiation levels. This weekend I used The "we are trying to relocated a sand snail that we have collared with a tracking device.....and we are very worried because he has been missing for a week", please help by keeping a lookout for one wearing a red collar! It helps to have a laugh from time to time.
Ok well enjoy the pics ....
Rhino problem could be solved by organising a well paid and well equipped anti poaching unit. I worked with an outfit on the Swazi border and they where very effective....and they shoot first and then ask questions.....I actually nearly joined them but they where disbanded shortly before I finished my service.

Viking, sounds like you are having good fun on your side with detecting  we are buggered now as the grass is too long 

Thanks for the reply about my book, once it is finished up to date.... it will be about 90 - 100 pages, I want to have a propr bound book made from it using Photobook... They do a great job 

Arfieboy, it took me a while to work out,,,, and a big job to put it together  when I am finished, I will go over each site again to see if there is anything else to add before I finalize the project and then start on book 2
