Hi Pgill, hows your pigeon email service going? these birds could be used as part of the cable theft police programme also Cheesy

I hope to hear some good news on the cable situation soon Great

He said the Pigeon was very tasty but it needed another 10 minutes over the fire Grin

Goldnboy, just to let you know... My gold coins are all over the world Great

you now know what to do..... I will send my address to you later so that you can return my coin Club

Thanks for being honest.... not like Xavier who I have heard found 5 of my coins..... But I will deal with him after work Round About

As far as the Pigeons..... Well I believe ti was them who stole my first coins as they left their footprints behind.... I do have the FBI looking into that problem as we speak.... Wise

If it is not my coins or cables then it will be something else getting stolen Angry

hold on, wait a moment.... OK own up who stole my underpants Shocked

On a MORE serious not though, seeing as Xavier is taking so long to get back to the land of Nod Welcome

I was contacted by another chap, fantastic guy who found me on the Net (what a surprise) Hello

Anyway, he lives in Potchefstroom about 1 hour from me and took me around to lots of great sites near the Fredefort Dome... (meteorite impact zone) that was part of the Boer war.... We even went to the house where Gen De Wet hid his wife from the British for safety.... we did detect around a bit.... But the day was mainly for getting permission to detect sites Great

I did find a 5 cent piece from 1976, and a couple of old bottle tops... it was great fun.
This guy is a ametuer archeologist who does arial photography from a gyrocopter... he is very knowledgable with South African history Clapp

So I will now be having some great trips out I think.... so hold onto your pants Wink

Xavier, you need to get back up here.... Stop sleeping on the beach like you own it....

Bad new mate I'll only be going back after the winter as my swaar ( brother in law ) is using the cottage to loge one of his technicians NOT good for me but very good for him as he has a very big contract (again) Undecided

but that's OK I'm working day and night on my new detector project if any of you have too much money I'll be happy to take it from you ( this project is killing me ) LOL Peter I think that you should come down my way for a few day's I have some good spots to detect.

Hey my man, that is not good news.... get up here and move into that office you floored out Shocked

I wish I could come down your side, but I am having to watch my leave ready for England in September Wink

But lets see what can be done....
When am I starting to test out that amazing detector for you? It seems like you you are not working hard enough on it.... Stay off the beach during the day and work on the detector.... you have all night for the beach Wise

What is the weather like down there anyway No no!

Hi Goodday007, great to have you onboard with us..... South Africa, is fantastic although much different to the USA. We battle to find coins, where you guys pick them up on a daily basis.... But we do have some great battle sites to check out, and we are rich in history.... Our beaches are very nice, and some good stuff have been found. So I guess we are not doing to bad, although we are a young country when it comes to detecting.

Hi Silki, wow great to have you back from the bush.... Hope that you are keeping well..... Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY Musican

may you be blessed with many more..... I don't want anymore, I am happy where I am Grin

Hi Guys
Good to be back for a change. Pgill, that contact you have is excellent I am so damn keen to come up there and hunt with you. I have had the most unbelievable run of bad luck lately. In the last month every piece of essential equipment that I use has in packed up in one way or another. Just so that you don't think I am just flat ignoring all you wonderful folks.
Seems that when I have deleted a few recent posts, my blackberry stops picking up on the thread. I think every one is quiet and actually you have been quite busy here.
Xavier I am waiting on those flies dude!
Happy Birhday Silki.
I'm busy re- organising my life so I am afraid I will be scarce for the next 2 months or so.I must say we have had some excellent rain lately and I think the ground at my site is going to be as soft as butter again. Man did I battle to dig some of those targets this summer!
Any way, still got work to do tonight so I'll sign off now.
Keep well all.
Viking

Pgill, as an aviation fanatic and private pilot......be very carefull of that gyro mate.......the fall like flies all the time. I like them and all but I just thought I'd warn you. I wouldn't fly one!
