Title: Official Signup - Detecting Wales Rally in Rooksbridge Post by: Tafflaff (Rob) on July 12, 2011, 08:21:50 PM Apologies again about the short notice but when the farmer phoned and offered me this field I could not turn him down.
We are returning to Rooksbridge. We have had 30 + Hammered off this farm. 14 of them coming off a 28 acre field. We have not been able to get back on this field since that day due to missing the gap in the crop. This is a fantastic chance for hammered coins but as always whever we predict outcomes to rallys the opposite happens so I'm just shutting up this time. I dont want anyone being dissapointed if little comes up. Its a gamble its up to you if you want to put your petrol money on 32 black. Meeting time at 9.00 am and the Rally will start at 9.30. Rally price is the normal £7.00 normal DW rules apply and you must be a DW member and 16 or over to attend Usual terms and conditions apply. Everyone who attends does so at their own risk and everyone must have civil liability insurance. If you are a member of a club you will probably already have this. Please check. As this is to be a limited rally we are not looking to take any names for those members joining after 2100hrs this evening. ONLY SIGN FOR THIS RALLY IF YOU ARE 100% SURE YOU CAN ATTEND. Please note that the one field is only 28 acres in size. Small for a rally but you need to know this before you sign. We do have pasture further up the farm, though this pasture has not been productive with finds to date. :) Disclaimer . You cannot attend if your name is Jon Talbot Title: Re: Official Signup - Detecting Wales Rally in Rooksbridge Post by: Roman (Ray) on July 12, 2011, 08:29:36 PM me me me please

Title: Re: Official Signup - Detecting Wales Rally in Rooksbridge Post by: Chef Geoff on July 14, 2011, 07:15:39 PM Today in my afternoon break I took a trip up to Saturdays Rally site to check everything is OK, It was over two years ago that we had our first rally on this land and I have to admit when I saw it on that first rally my heart sank, miles from anywhere and out on the levels, I thought by the end of the day DetectingWales may experience it's first riot ;D
Well was I in for a shock and a nice one at that, by the end of the day the rally goers had amassed 13 hammered coins plus 3(?) milled silver coins and I had found the best hammy I have ever found infact thinking back I think most of the hammies came up unviolated by the plough. The vast majority of these finds came from a large 25 acre field in the middle of the site. Since that first visit we have held two further rallies bringing the total hammy count up to 30, BUT on the last two occasions we have not been able to get back on the most productive field. That is until now and it looks about as perfect as you can get, it has been ploughed twice since it was last detected and is now under grass which has been cut and still quite sparse. After that first visit I burnt the midnight oil trying to fathom out "why" so many coins were turning up in the middle of nowhere, but to no avail. There was not even a mention on the local HER, but a few months ago the records were updated and I can tell you that within half a mile in three directions there are abandoned medieval settlement sites, also this Saturdays rally field had a "Pill" or canal from the sea cut through it and at this point it met the canal to Glastonbury which the monks built in the 11th century, so it could of been more or less a port. While I was there this afternoon I took a walk in some other fields which bound the other side of the canal (now just a Rhyne) where they had dumped the dredging's from the regular drainage maintenance they carry out around the levels. The amount and quality of the pottery that is there is quite impressive most of the obvious pieces are Staffordshire slipware and dates from the mid 17th century but in amongst this is some very early medieval pottery and while I wouldn't go as far as saying it IS Saxon it's not to far away. So Good luck to all that are attending and if you are, like me Minelabbing it, remember SLOW AND LOW, those hammies are there and just waiting to be found. Title: Re: Official Signup - Detecting Wales Rally in Rooksbridge Post by: rjm on July 14, 2011, 07:25:16 PM Nice write up Geoff. Any machine, where you suspect hammies, the rule is slow and low. Title: Re: Official Signup - Detecting Wales Rally in Rooksbridge Post by: nomad on July 14, 2011, 07:26:15 PM ohhh chef geoff you are tempting me to throw a sicky and detect instead of work.......
