Title: Re: Hi from Somerset... Post by: Phoenix on March 30, 2012, 08:11:21 AM Hi, Geoff.
I'm "Ferret's" better half... ;) I'm jealously guarding my equipment now - You've seen the state he gets his kit in. His Euroace has never looked so clean!!! We are now in competition... :D Title: Re: Hi from Somerset... Post by: Chef Geoff on March 30, 2012, 08:31:00 AM Doh!!! Do you know, just after I typed that I thought.........Euroace?.......old machine?...........Somerset? I know who that is ;) Well now's your time to shine and show Morley just how it's done :D

Always nice to see another female on board. Nice little brooch. Just think. it could have been the real thing. :o Maybe next time, eh. Val Title: Re: Hi from Somerset... Post by: Phoenix on April 10, 2012, 01:21:10 PM Hi Val, and thanks for the welcome.
I have been out on the beach a couple of times and I'm convinced Morley has doctored his old EuroAce :-[ - Hes uncovering coins while I'm discovering alternative treasure. So far I have uncovered a plethora of bottle tops, ring pulls, cans, foil and disposible barbecues!!! I refuse to give up and I shall be heading out again soon... 8) Title: Re: Hi from Somerset...

I just bought a Safari and my last trip I came home with 2 fishing weights. I left the ring pulls and bottle tops behind for the council man and the engine parts for the tide. Did find 2 things a bit different though. A whole whiskey bottle (Empty) with top on and a hollow rubber ball with a bell in it. Todays version of a Crotal Bell. :-\ My little dog thinks it's great. Keep up the good work. HH. Val Title: Re: Hi from Somerset... Post by: peanut on April 11, 2012, 09:23:33 AM welcome Pheonix .Thats a nice find well done!. I'm surprised that Morley has left anything on that stretch of beach lol ;D
look forward to seeing you both on the 'Special ops' search and the Stately home rally later this month. Nick |
