Are any sites that guy gave you Boer war?

ALL of them are mate and they are good ones. You know the block house that we went to? well there is a hill not too far that the Boers were occupying and from time to time they had a bit of a go at each other so that is one site then he has another where there was a big battle, it's a few hours away from here but he said that he would take me there as it's on one of his mates farm cool I think as it's a Boer site.

And a bout time too don't you think LOL Still don't have the magnet wire for the coil of the TGSL but in the mean time did another PCB for it, it's a lot smaller and I removed the errors that I had on it (Forgot a pos connection) LOL any way I did a few mods on it regarding the audio that I got from the Geotech forum. I will need to make a new shaft for it as the angle that I gave this one is too small but that' just a detail.

You know when I was in Belgium for the problem with my leg I saw snow and then I remembered that I don't like the stuff, Yes it looks good, Yes you can have fun it it BUT it's cold and when it melts it makes a huge mess of things, but I must admit that I do miss a white Christmas with a nice log fire

(but only the Christmas part of it) So when will you be able to out detecting again?

Well you shouldn't in all that bloody mud Grin

I had a braai tonight as I'm totally buggered after having spent nearly 11 hours a day on the tractor HO did I tell you that we are officially the biggest farmers in the area? we now have over 500 hectares of land and more than half of it is planted Hooora another 11 or 12 hours on the tractor tomorrow Grin

and yesterday we have had calf number 100 (that's a good reason to celebrate). Got all the art work done for the new PCB but, have not burned it yet as I want to make absolutely sure that there are no Boo Boo's in it, and that I'm good to do the job right.

Have fun in the mud LOL
