Massey Boys Mum Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Now, I'm not being funny but none of you have probably ever seen a Handel witch! They only occur on small farms in Cornwall and they only attack teenagers who have spent all week being rude to their mothers. Their mothers that have taken them to work and picked them up every day without complaint, even though she's on holiday and has better things to do like metal detecting!

Massey Boys Mum Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Now.... metal detecting... that's interesting... can we have a dedicated topic please Aunty Jo... I'd like to see how you do it.. what you've found.. what machine you use etc etc... I am but a mere beginner Marky - do you think it would interest other people? When we moved into our current house, which has a large garden, I thought I would give it the once over with my detector. I got amazing signals all over the lawn - really sharp ones which indicate non-ferrous metal. Being that it's Cornwall, visions of buried pirates hoards of gold started to fill my head. I began a frenzied dig, got down about six inches and I saw it! Long, coiled and orange, rather like an enormous snake - I pulled it and it kept coming! It was then that I remembered that the previous owner of the house was a very successful electrician! I left it all in situ because scrap wasn't getting much of a price then - however, I may have to dig it all out as the prices are much better now!

smellyexhaust Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hello Jo, is that all you found or is there more you are not going to tell us about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Boys Mum Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hello Jo, is that all you found or is there more you are not going to tell us about? Well it depends on why you are interested! Especially as this is your first post. Your profile does not give away much about you o'smellyexhaust person! What tractors do you like? However, I will tell you that I have never found a WHOLE TRACTOR with my detector - only bits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellyexhaust Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I'm thinking of taking up metal detecting as a hobby, and thought you must have found more than just old cable. I like ANY tractors, especially Fords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like ANY tractors, especially Fords. It's a great hobby - very relaxing. I live in Cornwall so I go to beaches after the tourists have been and gone. I find lots of coins - £2 coins make a lovely sound. I have realised that I am going badly 'off topic' which is frowned upon on FTF, and this my son's topic so I am going to take Markys advice and start a new one. Fords are ok but I like Masseys best!
